A top-down, upwards-scrolling, Western (as in rootin', tootin', shootin') schmup. My elder brother remembers the game too, but not the name. I've search for old western games but have never found it.
The background was 90% sand, i.e., yellow.
Chess too, my dad and brother had copies waaay back, chesss2000 or something like that, the supposedly first good chess ai, but that was later.
