Lucky Luke is a platform-action game developed and published by Infogrames, released in 1997. Based on the famous Belgian comic series by Morris, the game follows the adventures of the fastest gun in the West as he attempts to arrest the four Dalton brothers—Joe, William, Jack, and Averell. Gameplay involves progressing through multiple levels where Lucky Luke must shoot enemies including bad cowboys, jailbreakers, and hostile Indians using his trusty revolver, while collecting items such as bullets, dynamite, and sheriff stars. The player can run, jump, duck, and climb across varied locations including forts, towns, jails, mines, a train, and a haunted saloon. Some levels end with boss battles, typically against one of the Dalton brothers. Between main levels, arcade sequences involve chasing the Daltons on horseback, riding Jolly Jumper, escaping a tornado, or navigating a raft. Bonus levels include bottle shooting. The game uses a password system to resume progress.
DOS
Released in 1997 for MS-DOS, the DOS version of Lucky Luke was developed by Infogrames with programming by East Point Software. The game is known for its colorful 2D graphics that faithfully capture the spirit of the original comics. The DOS version requires 256-color mode to function properly. The DOS executable lacks MIDI support for music, instead relying on Sound Blaster (Pro/16/AWE32), Adlib Gold, or Gravis Ultrasound for audio output. The game received positive reviews, with Super Power awarding 91/100, praising it as "balanced and entertaining," while Jeuxvideo.com called it "a game with simple and effective gameplay" that is graphically "faithful to the comics."
