OUTLAW(TM) (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)
Squeeze the trigger and your gunfighter draws, kneels, and aims. Release the trigger and the lead starts
flying. Blow away walls, stage coaches and cacti. If your opponent won’t give you a clean shot, nail him
with a clever ricochet. Build up notches on your gun with 16 games and variations.

One or two players can become expert gunslingers during these games:
In one-player games (Target Shoot), you control the movement of a gunfighter with the left
Joystick Controller. Practice target shooting with the moving target that appears on the screen.
In two-player games (Gunslinger Games), each player controls the movement of a gunslinger with
a Joystick Controller. You score points when your gunslinger shoots your opponent's gunslinger.
NOTE: In all one and two-player games, bullets will ricochet off the upper and lower playfield
boundaries.
