Sheriff is a classic arcade game created by Nintendo in 1979.
Story[edit]
A young lady from your town has been kidnapped by bandits. It's up to you to save her.
Gameplay[edit]
In Sheriff, the player must shoot all of the bandits on screen in order to move on to the next. Usually, they stay on the edges and move in a circle, but once in a while, music plays and they rush toward the sheriff. Also, a condor sometimes appears; it can be shot for extra points.
The arcade had a joystick to move the sheriff and a control dial to aim his shoots, meaning a player could walk and shoot in two different directions.
Legacy[edit]
The sheriff from Sheriff is available in Super Smash Bros. Melee as a trophy and the game appears in the staff credits of Game Boy Camera. In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, one of 9-Volt's microgames was based on Sheriff.
Ports and Remakes[edit]
- In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, an updated version of Sheriff featuring Wario can be unlocked.
