Badlands (1984 video game)

Badlands (バッドランズ) is a LaserDisc video game developed for the arcades by Konami in 1983 and released in 1984. It debuted at the AMOA show in October 1983, and then had a wide release in early 1984. In the vein of interactive movie games like Wild Gunman, Dragon's Lair, and Cliff Hanger, Badlands lets its players navigate through various animated sequences by pressing a single button at a precise moment (unlike Dragon's Lair, there is no joystick). Since the game is themed as an old West shooter, the function of the button is almost always to fire the main character's gun to fend off attackers. If the player shoots too soon, he will be hanged for murder.
