Hogan's Alley serves as a high-stakes shooting range where players use the Zapper light gun to target gangsters in an FBI line-up. Success requires distinguishing criminals from innocent bystanders to earn points. As the difficulty increases, targets emerge more rapidly from windows, doorways, and shadows, demanding faster reaction times to clear the stage.
