1. Vintage 80s T-Shirt Tee ‘WESTERN COWBOYS INDIANS’ Comic Game
About game: In this cowboys and Indians game you have been appointed sheriff of a wild west town that is under siege from Red Indians who have taken to hijacking stagecoaches and the local railroad to drive the whites from their traditional lands. Europeans and Red Indians, first came into contact in the 16th century, and the Indians were at an immediate disadvantage as they had no knowledge of metal working whilst the Europeans had guns. Despite this, and contrary to popular belief, the Indians were actually quite impressed with the European arrivals admiring their style, housing and farming methods, so when the American War of Independence started, they found themselves supporting the British and therefore ending up on the losing side. This sparked the real beginning of antagonism between the cowboy and the Indians which is played out in this game where the Indians attack the railroad and you have to protect it and maintain order.
