> I'm glad you all enjoyed the vid. :-)

Cool that you found this place (There's another little recent thread about your video over in the Loony Bin but not sure how much it adds to the conversation: https://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=389981)

MAMEWorld Forums (possibly the number one leading MAME fan forum) is home to "gregf", quite possibly the Internet's biggest fan of "Wild Gunman '74". He at least has had very clear memories of playing the game back in the day, which enabled me in 2002 to figure out what the hell he was rambling about and finally put a name to his most wanted game for MAME. I wrote him up a little dossier on what I could find on the Internet at the time, and since then he's scored many other things like the manuals and those slides. (I still have the little dossier of copied text from old websites, and for old times' sake, I've attached it. )

He's brought it up so many times in conversation that we have a little custom smilie (or "Graemlin" in this messageboard software's language) - "vagrant", which goes back to posts long since purged that jokingly discussed these scruffy Western characters.



Though gregf has gone deep down the Wild Gunman rabbit hole himself, we've come across many little things and tidbits to feed gregf's obsession over the years (he has long had a weird way of making you care about his various obsessions). I know we once found a guy in the US on KLOV Forums who had found the projector cabinet / control panel part of the game, but was missing the film and the projector screen and whatnot - but he wasn't willing to sell or something. Lots of other little stories like that over the years.

The working cabinet video, while in France, is surely of the one that we once knew about in Switzerland once owned by a guy named "Jimmy", which may have changed hands since. He was -never- willing to sell...
