Classic, Western Shooter Game Surprisingly Well-Executed For The TRS-80
This review is for the TRS-80 version

Look: 7/10 Incredibly basic, but I did like the obstacles and setting.

Sound: 6/10 Functional, forgettable.

Play: 7/10 A fun, classic western shooter game. Kinda silly how the controls work, but it actually makes sense once you get used to the game. Still, would have rather simpler controls to make what amounts to a simple shooter game anyway more simply fun.

Feel: 8/10 A lot of great features, one of the smoothest TRS-80 action games I've played by far, love the ricochet, surprised that the convoluted control system was well-executed, love that it keeps track of the competition for multiple rounds in a fun clear simple way, a lot of good things to say about this game. But with all that being said, it simply can't be a favorite of mine due to the convoluted controls, as TRS-80 is wont to do. This could be a lot of fun for 10 minutes doing 2 player. But in the meantime, moving on!

Attachment: 7/10 Well-made game, but not something I see myself returning to regularly.
