There are 16 gunslinger and target shooting games in this Game Program. Each one resents different
variations. For a description of each variation, refer to the following code:
Blowaway: Your bullets are more powerful during gunfights with Blowaway. You can shoot away
pieces of the protective center object--a Stage Coach, Wall or Cactus-- until it completely disappears.
Cactus: Some gunfights and target shooting games occur with a Cactus in the center of the playfield.
Bullets cannot penetrate the Cactus. Use the Cactus as protection from your opponent's shots.
Stage Coach: A Stage Coach stands between the two gunslingers during some games. Bullets cannot
pass through the Stage Coach, making it ideal for protection against opposing bullets. In some games, a
series of Stage Coaches will MOVE up the screen between you and your opponents.
Wall: In some games, a wall is located between the two gunslingers. These games also feature
Blowaway. Use your shots to make a hole in the wall and aim at your opponent.
Getaway: During a gunfight with Getaway, each gunslinger can move immediately after shooting the
gun. Without Getaway, gunslingers must wait until their bullets disappears off the screen or hits a target.
Six Shooter: In these gunfights with Six Shooters, each player's gun only has six bullets in it. Receive
another round of ammunition when BOTH players have used all six bullets.
Target Shoot: The Target Shoot is a feature of one-player games. The Target bounces up and down
on the screen while you attempt to make a direct hit.
