Gunman Taco Truck has arrived on Steam. The zany post-apocalypse title was designed by Donovan Romero-Brathwaite, the 12-year-old son of two famous game developers, Doom creator John Romero and Wizardry designer Brenda (Brathwaite) Romero.

In the game, you play as the last Mexican, saving the world one taco at a time. Romero-Brathwaite created the design for the game when he was 9 years old, and his parents put together a team to turn it into a reality. The game is now available on Steam for Windows and Mac OS.
