About this game
Billie Bob fights bandits in a mining town. Separate buttons fire diagonally left and right, while pressing both shoots ahead. Moving independently of these firing choices lets you cover approaching enemies without always standing directly below them. Each stage’s final enemy requires a wanted poster, found at a hidden shooting spot or bought from the General Store. Barrels can reveal items, and the shop supplies weapons or a horse that absorbs hits. Progress involves gathering the means for the showdown as well as shooting.
