Hogan's Alley seeks to follow up Wild Gunman with some more Zapper gameplay. However, none of it is particularly as novel or fun as previous efforts.

Using three modes, the player is presented with cut-outs of gangsters and innocent civilians and must shoot the correct ones, as well as tin cans that must be bounced on the opposite side in bonus rounds and a can-specific mode.

That's pretty much it. The game is a little more finnicky with shots compared to Wild Gunman, leading to some more frustrating bouts and not a lot of replayability past a few rounds. Visuals and audio are pretty sparse past the novelty of cardboard cutouts instead of real people to shoot.

In the end, you might get a few minutes out of this one, but you'd be better off searching for another NES Zapper game.
