Archon II, Adept has this sort of battle for the four adepts, though they
can't move once they shoot. It was fairly well done, and one option to win
the game was to challenge the other player to just such a duel.

Except *ahem* that it's stolen straight from High Noon. More or less. High
Noon had a one player version where you had a showdown with a cowboy in
black, let's call him Bad Bart (them pirated games were always a challenge
without the manuals). He'd draw first, and you had x amount of time (where
x gets smaller as the level goes up) to _shoot_ first.
That was quite well done. Heck, these two games are reason enough to own a
good C=64 emu, imo. Luckily there are plenty more games where they came
from.
