Orphaned references in Gun Fight
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Gun Fight's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Kohler-16": From Racing video game: Chris Kohler (2005), Power-up: how Japanese video games gave the world an extra life, p. 16, BradyGames, ISBN 0744004241 From Tomohiro Nishikado:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:13, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Western Gun
I've seen the supposed Japanese version and it appears to be a different game. W.G has it's graphics as black on yellow and it seems you have free movement. It also looks like it's on weaker hardware.
 * It does play so differently that it is essentially a different game. Midway licensed it, but decided the graphics would not go over well for a US audience.  Dave Nutting Associates basically rebuilt it from the ground up using a microprocessor-based hardware system. Indrian (talk) 03:35, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * As written, the article implies (e.g. "known as Western Gun in Japan and Europe...") that Gun Fight was essentially an American repackaging of a Japanese-invented game. Gun Fight may have had some design inspiration from Western Gun and the controls and game play are indeed similar, yet they are very different games that use drastically different hardware. The Intel 8080 based hardware running Gun Fight was developed by Dave Nutting et al. in the United States. Western Gun doesn't have a microprocessor. They are distinct games.

C64 Port by Interceptor
The article claims Gun Fight was ported to the C64 by Interceptor in 1987. I can't find any evidence of this port and the Wikipedia article link is dead. An archived copy of the link doesn't have much information to back this up. This claim needs a second look. JettaMann (talk) 14:20, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
