Gun Fight is notable for being the first coin-operated arcade game to use
microprocessor s instead of TTL in its electronics. Gun Fight used anIntel 8080 CPU, which allowed the game to have more continuous, solid graphics. The game had two distinct controls: one for moving the computerized cowboy around on the screen and another for aiming the player's gun. Unlike most other arcade games, Gun Fight has the mainjoystick on the right instead of the left. The game uses a black-and-white raster monitor and a yellow screen overlay.History
