Sir Richard Rose and outlaws like Paco Loco serve as targets for players in this side-scrolling shooter. Navigating environments from steaming locomotives to Reechforem Gulch, you use dynamite and weapon power-ups to clear hordes of bandits. The game supports two-player co-operative play, allowing partners to hunt bounties together through various western settings.
