Is it possible that this was inspired by the original version of Nintendo's Wild Gunman?

I've noticed that the two games bear a close resemblance to each other, and even have a few things in common:

Both are Quick-Draw games where the player's opponents are portrayed with footage of real actors on a set.
The player receives a 'foul' if they draw too quickly.
There are only five opponents in a game.

Initially, I thought that it may have just been a coincidence, until I noticed that Fast Draw happened to come out a year after the patent for Wild Gunman expired. That, coupled with the fact that Fast Draw is the only LaserDisc title by American Laser Games that's not a rail shooter, seems to suggest that the resemblance may be intentional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.0.193 (talk) 01:29, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
