Summary

Kane (1985) saddled you up for a budget-priced Wild West adventure where peace apparently required excellent marksmanship and a horse with nerves of steel. Across four very different stages, you shot birds, leapt rocks and cacti, faced gunmen in town, and eventually galloped alongside a speeding train. The constant switching between shooting and riding kept things lively, while the difficulty happily waited for one mistimed jump or badly aimed bullet. Short, colourful and slightly bonkers, Kane delivered plenty of cowboy chaos for its £1.99 asking price.

What it does well

Varied stages, colourful presentation, satisfying shooting, memorable horse sections, and excellent value for a budget-priced game.

Where it falls short

Very short, difficulty could spike sharply, some versions lost stages, and repetition crept in quickly.

Verdict

A quirky multi-stage Western that packed surprising variety, sharp reflex tests, and plenty of charm into a budget release.
