Walkthrough
Stage 1
Go right, taking out everyone in your path. Don't rush forward too
quickly, as some of the bandits will try to ambush you with dynamite.
Go into all the doors that you can to power up your weapons. When the
ground rumbles look out for stampeding bulls. Jump on top of them to
avoid losing a life.
Boss (Simon Greedwell)
Shoot out the barrels that are protecting Simon, and watch out for them
when they fall. A diagonal attack will hurt Simon and take out his henchmen.
Stage 2
Watch out for logs being pushed out of the covered wagon. Also beware
of horse riding bandits coming from the corners of the screen. Once the
wagon is destroyed you'll have a few more bandits to shoot, and then the
train comes. Stay to the right part of the screen, shooting left and
moving back right to avoid gunfire.
Boss (Hawkeye Hank Hatfield)
Concentrate on taking out Hank s henchmen in the corners, shooting at
Hank when the opportunity arises. Eventually he will run out of henchmen
and it gets pretty easy. When he comes at you jump to avoid his fire and
finish him off.
Stage 3
Head patiently to the right, watching out for dynamite, bombs, and
falling flame traps. Use the rope to get across the fire. Make sure to
collect all the power ups.
Boss (Dark Horse)
Stay up on the balcony, shooting the bandits when they appear in the
windows. Jump to avoid enemy gunfire. After the henchmen are all
gone, attack Dark Horse at an angle from the sitting position to make
quick work of him.
Boss (The Smith Brothers)
Save the woman in the center of the screen, take out the guys on the
chandelier, then jump on to the chandelier yourself. Keep moving left
and right to avoid the Smith Brothers bombs and fire. Try to take out
the bomb throwing one first(on the left), then the fire throwing one,
for best results.
Stage 4
Now you re on a train. Go patiently to the right, watching out for bandits
with explosives. Once on top of the train cars, beware of the mail posts.
They come up quickly and knock you right off.
Boss (El Greco)
Patience is the key against this boss. Stay on the far right and far left
ides. El Greco is only vulnerable when his back is turned or when he s in
the air. When he jumps toward you, fire off a few rounds, then head to
the other side, jumping to avoid his whip. This way takes time, but it
will cost fewer lives.
Stage 5
Move quickly to the right at the start to avoid being crushed by the
rolling boulders. To get past the bomb throwers, simply shoot straight
ahead, as close to them as possible. Continue right, jumping over the
bouncing boulders. Cross the canyon using the rope, moving right and
shooting down and right to get the bandits waiting to ambush you.
Boss (Chief Wigwam)
Step in between or jump over the Chief s knives. When he jumps over you,
do a quick slide underneath and shoot him as he attacks. Try to stay in
the corners, keeping as much distance between you and him as possible,
firing at an angle. He is the toughest boss yet, and it takes quite a while
to defeat him.
Stage 6
The beginning of this stage is similar to stage 2 but harder. Your horse
riding foes come quicker and fire faster here. Once again the first thing to
do is to destroy the covered wagon. For the next part keep your horse in the
middle of the screen, shooting at an angle and moving back and forth. Once on
foot again keep going right until you reach the boss.
Boss (Paco Loco)
Kill the bandit in front of you and quickly jump his bullet. Shoot the bomb
throwing bandits in the tree as soon as they appear, trying not to let them
get any bombs off. Jump over Paco s shotgun shells and shoot at him while in
mid-air. As with most of the bosses, after his henchmen are gone he s pretty
easy.
Stage 7
You'll have to have a quick trigger finger in this stage to fight off Richard
Rose s private army. Go down the river, staying on the bottom of the screen,
powering up and fighting off the bad guys. After the river, make your way up
the hill, looking out for bandits waiting on ledges.
End Boss (Richard Rose)
Use a circular pattern of fire to get rid of the bandits, then concentrate
your fire on Rose s balcony until it is destroyed. When he comes down to the
ground level watch out for his slide attack, which is just as deadly as a
bullet. After you've beaten him he takes out his bulletproof plate and starts
up again, but don t worry, the worst is over. Get up to the side balconies and
fire diagonally from a sitting position. When he comes up, go down and shoot
him from below. Repeat until he is gone for good.
