Gunman Taco Truck

In Gunman Taco Truck, the player travels through various cities in the United States to get to their end destination of Winnipeg. The majority of the game is spent on the road, where the player can shoot enemies to acquire meat, money, or scrap metal. After completing a road section, they will go to a petrol station, where they can prepare and sell their tacos for money, and purchase fuel, ingredients for tacos, and repairs, armour, and better weapons for their truck. As the player travels through the game, they will find more enemies, whose meat can be used to make new taco recipes. Additionally, while at the petrol station, players may be given tasks for bonus money or scrap metal, such as delivering a package to a specific town.

In 2020, a scientist accidentally launches seven nuclear bombs across the United States, which cause the people and animals to mutate and grow feral. The player character, "the last Mexican in the U.S.", goes on a journey to Winnipeg, where there are no taco trucks, and they can open their business free of competition.^[1]
