About Load, Aim... Shoot!
Load, Aim... Shoot! is a two-player quick-draw duel between samurai. You and a friend sit at the same keyboard, and the question is who is fastest when the timer flashes the word shoot.
Each player has a letter on their samurai's head. When the signal comes, you press it to fire. If your opponent fires first, a second letter shows up beside your samurai, and pressing that key deflects the bullet. The first player to land three hits wins.
