Infogrames cowboy romp for Nintendo handheld

Howdy, and moreover, partner. France's most popular cartoon cowboy, Lucky Luke, is set to make his debut on the Game Boy Color (or Colour, if you're not American - and we're not). Those with a deeply embarrassing knowledge of the PlayStation back catalogue may recall Lucky Luke. And guess what? It was actually darned good fun - which is, of course, what games are meant to be.

The Game Boy Color version promises to be similar fare. There are 12 levels of side-scrolling action as Luke takes on the likes of Billy the Kid, Jesse James and the Dalton Brothers (it says here... ). When he's not chasing trains and riding stagecoaches, Luke has to be on the lookout for buffalo stampedes and the odd 'twister'. With a selection of 'clip clop' sound effects and the odd spit hitting a 'toon, this promises to be the authentic French cowboy experience. Should be a laugh, at least...
