Anyone know?

Not exactly sure what you mean. Do you mean like genres that are popular in the west (such as first person shooters) or games that have a western theme to them?

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Monbit has tipis, but I don't know if the game qualifies as a western.  There is some rpg or digital comic that is a western (horses and everything!), but I can't remember what the heck it's called.

I don't remember a wild west world in the SNES or Genesis version!

Any leads on the digital comic would be much appreciated!

Thanks again for the info so far!  :clap:

You cannot get more "Western" than JJ & Jeff. Those two Americans (and let me be the first to claim that JJ is from Southern California and Jeff is from New Jersey) are wild and crazy (80's) guys.

Otherwise, Dungeon Master Theron's Quest, Beyond Shadowgate, Loom, Sherlock Holmes 1 & 2, It Came from the Desert, Gunboat, Falcon, SimEarth, etc. are very "Western" games.

in the game "Bakushou Yoshimoto No Shinkigeki" there is a whole level designed in western theme. by the way, this is probably one of the most unknown game i believe. it's so damn cheap but damn funny (kind of SFC tiny toons for the PCE).

here's a screen out from the western level:
