Boot Hill is a shooter arcade game released by Midway in 1977. The game is a sequel to Western Gun (aka Gun Fight). It's a classic one or two-player western gunfight game. Each player uses a small joystick to move their cowboy up and down the play area, while a second, much larger joystick is used to aim the pistol and shoot - this larger stick also has a trigger button. The game's single goal is simply to shoot the other player, who is situated on the opposite side of the game area. 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. Read less

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.
