[TAS] Arcade Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa "1 player" by EZGames69 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2023-10-27
Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa is a run-and-gun arcade game that is based on the cartoon of the same name and developed by Konami. Following the premise of the cartoon, the main cast of anthropomorphic bovine characters were originally ordinary animals until a mystery comet crashed near them and turned them into walking, talking animals. They formed their own city, Moo Mesa, and ran it like a Wild West town, complete with sheriffs and bandits. One of the denizens of the town, Lily Bovine, has been kidnapped by the notorious Masked Bull. Its up the C.O.W.-Boys and Buffalo Bull to get back Lily and stop the Masked Bull's reign of terror.
In this run, EZGames69 ( tasvideos.org/... ) chooses Moo Montana and shoots down and arrests the Masked Bull and his cronies with his machine pistol in as fast as possible.

Setting the volume to max is an actual strat in this TAS and I love it

[@ezgames6925]

Not a strat, just something to make the viewing experience a bit better.

[@prosewolf]

So the TAS could've ended at 16:27 to not enter a name on the high score, and sooner if the volume hadn't been adjusted?

[@GamerGee]

0:48 boss theme is lovely. 1:02 having the actors do the voices was so cool. 7:50

[@ezgames6925]

By the way, the fog at 15:45 shouldn’t be present during the fight. This is an emulation issue with MAME where it doesn’t properly layer some graphics. So unfortunately most of the fight is obscured by this.

[@GamerGee]

What does the fog supposed to do?

[@karlhenke91]

I'd forgotten this show existed, let alone an arcade game of it. Wow.

[@Mordecrox]

Meanwhile I always remember this whenever I find sarsaparilla soda

[@Dimon12321]

[@thesledgehammerblog]

For something based off a kids cartoon this is a shockingly violent game…

[@darth_vyper]

[@rodrigo-oliveira-86]

[@szymon6207]

[@deathblowringo4168]

I'll be waiting for the 4 player TAS of this!

[@karlhenke91]

17:04 Music and effects by M. Yamane? Michiru Yamane? Of Symphony of the Night fame?

[@RobertoGoodra]

Lo jugué hace tiempo en Arcade. Con años después no sabía que tuviera serie animada. Nota: No tuvo doblaje para México 🇲🇽 y Latam.

[@maxmouse713]

Please tell me this game is as fun as it looks, cos this game looks awesome! Also, great TAS!

[@mikynachomiguelangel8032]

Is like sunset riders with animals so is fun.

[@GamerGee]

[@underthepale]

It ALMOST is. You should play it (and Mystic Warriors, ALSO very Sunsetriders inspired)

[@EndOfForever]

[@Yostuba]

Lmao fucking 90's man totally radical dood Cow(male)boys but they're literal cows(male) its just like TMNT buy it my fellow kids its coooool. The sprites are indeed nice tho. What is it with arcade shovelware being good/ok and not a dumpster fire, so many nice looking/fun shoveware games in the early-mid 90's.

[@wonderguardstalker]

Many licensed games were developed by teams like Konami (this game is very similar to their own Sunset Riders). Further this show was created by Ryan Brown, who got his start on TMNT
