Gameplay
editSpace Cowboy is a game in which the Space Cowboy maneuvers along a walkway shown in three-quarter perspective, avoiding blasts from wall-mounted lasers.[2]
Reception
editBill Wallace reviewed Space Cowboy in Space Gamer No. 70.[2] Wallace commented that "The action is idiotic, wooden, boring after only a couple of minutes of play. If you'd never seen Zaxxon the three-quarter perspective would be interesting, though it doesn't really contribute to play."[2]
