Play Lucky Luke '97 Online

I first played Lucky Luke '97 on MS-DOS, a game released that year by Infogrames. It was part of that wave of late 90s PC titles that tried to capture the feel of comics and cartoons with simple graphics and straightforward action. The game didn't try to be a huge technical showcase; it was just a solid, uncomplicated adaptation of the Lucky Luke universe for its time.

You control Lucky Luke, the lonesome cowboy, moving through side-scrolling levels set in dusty towns and arid plains. Your main goal is to bring order to the frontier by defeating outlaws, especially the bumbling Dalton brothers. The gameplay involves quick-draw duels where timing your shot is critical, horseback chases where you leap between stagecoaches, and environmental interactions like using your lasso or avoiding dynamite. The pacing is brisk, with short levels that keep you moving, though some sections can feel a bit unforgiving if your reflexes are off. It feels like a lighthearted, action-packed cartoon come to life, with just enough challenge to keep you engaged without ever becoming frustrating.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
