Gumshoe (video game)

Gumshoe is a NES video game made by Nintendo in 1986 that uses the Nintendo Light gun.

The player acts as Mr. Stevenson, the main character and a former gumshoe. Mr. Stevenson's daughter Jennifer has been kidnapped by a mafia boss, King Dom and has to retrieve five Black Panther Diamonds within 24 hours.

In the game, Mr. Stevenson continuously walks to the right like a scrolling shooter. The player must shoot the enemies as they come on the screen. The world is laid out like a platformer, reminiscent of Mario Bros. games, and the player can shoot Mr. Stevenson to make him jump.
