If you go weak at the knees when someone mentions the soft green hues of the original Game Boy screen, then you're likely to go all ga-ga over 2-bit Cowboy.

The game has just hit the New Zealand App Store, which means it should be moseying on over to the UK at midnight tonight.

You play a pixel-built sheriff who needs to leap and shoot his way through a Wild West town, bringing order and law with each chunky bullet.

For those of us with a soft spot for the past, and a wardrobe full of cowboy dressing up clothes, this is definitely one to keep an eye on.

The game will set you back 69p / 99c when it lands later today, and it looks like that might be a decent price for some retro fun.
