Wagons and cacti litter the middle of the play area, providing temporary cover from the opponent's gunfire. These obstacles slowly disintegrate as they are shot. Less

b_n's review of Boot Hill

1001 Games - #4

Pros: multi-directional shooting, one or two-player options, painted overlay hides simplistic graphics

Cons: single player mode lacks lasting appeal, barren screen if no overlay

Recommendation: a simple, relatively unknown early arcade game. I can't comment on the two-player mode as I never had a chance to try it. Unfortunately, very difficult to find a cabinet with intact overlay.
