Limited, if not basic, Spaghetti western shoot'em up. You can enter the saloon if you're thirsty.
2/5

Well you get what you pay for with this I guess. It's nothing more than an average shooter with dodgy hit detection. It's too easy to run out of ammo and to gain more ammo you have to walk to a dead bandit before he disappears, but by the time you do that you're most likely dead. And when your thirst meter runs low you need to walk to the hotel to fill it up, but then chances are you'll be dead the second you walk out again. And at the start you can choose between a fast, medium or slow speed game, and when you choose slow it automatically makes you play with a Sinclair joystick. I didn't expect this to be any good because it's cheap, it's Alternative Software and Richard Stevenson wrote the game and he also wrote the awful BMX Ninja, and indeed that it exactly the case, not as bad as BMX Ninja obviously but still not very good.

One of the three Speccy games bought by my parents with my Spectrum. It was the poorest of the three it has to be said and one I never really liked, much preferring the other two games which were more fun to play compared to this. This was too frustrating because of how easy it was to lose all your ammo.

And I completely forgot about the free game with it, but that wasn't worth remembering much anyway. :)
