Originally developed by Vertigo co-founders Richard and Tristan, the Wild West forms an important part of the Vertigo heritage. “It is this title which got us into the game industry, so when we recently looked at it again, we felt a great deal of nostalgia”, Tristan says. “Because its content is entirely 2D, the level of detail, even after all those years, is still quite good.” Therefore Vertigo has decided to port the game to XNA, in order to release it on Xbox Live Arcade.
