A game where you take on the role of a Wild West Hero, fighting bandits and dealing with challenges in the rocky mountains. Faced with overwhelming numbers and treacherous obstacles, the Hero must survive by taking down gangs of outlaws and avoiding traps like glowing cacti. Starting with three lives, you must score points, wield the powerful Colt 45, and aim for the highest achievement. Travel through the Wild West, defeat enemies, and earn bonus lives – become a true hero!

Wild West Hero

The Game

Being alone in the West was never particularly safe, even at the best of time, so when the Wild West Hero took up the challenge of ridding the rockies of bandits he found a few slight problems. Being outnumbered sixty to one can be irritating especially when some annoying person has planted ‘Killer Cacti’, ‘Treacherous Trees’ or some other lethal objects around the battle area. Combined with the fact that the killing of one gang simply brings yet another bigger, nastier and faster gang of bandits made life, well, some-what awkward, but then again he was ‘The Wild West Hero’.

Object

A Wild West Hero must destroy gang after gang of extremely nasty bandits, avoid the glowing cacti or any other objects and, most importantly, stay alive! At the start of the game he is given three lives with which to carry out the task. Armed with an automatic fire-and-repeat Colt 45 (No, I haven’t heard of one either) he must accumulate the highest score possible. For the first 20,000 points achieved a bonus life is awarded and for each 10,000 points after that.
