The Lone Ranger (video game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lone Ranger is an NES video game that is based on the TV show of the same name. Actual names of towns in Texas are used and the player must solve the case in 8 different episodes in order to save the day. Along with Gilligan's Island, this game was made when licenses for vintage TV shows were being renewed. Like in the real Lone Ranger, senseless violence will get the player nowhere and he must rely on talking to people like a role-playing game in order to advance to the shooting parts.

[edit] Point of view

The Lone Ranger video game was unique during its time in that it features many points of view during gameplay. Most of the time, the player saw the lone ranger from a top-down perspective, as he would travel through the country and walk through towns. At other times, the game would switch to a side scrolling view when the player was in a boss stage. On occasion, the view would even switch to a first person perspective and play similar to a First Person Shooter.
