Pretty nice Gun.Smoke style game from Codemasters the graphics are pretty good although the first level doesn't really have much detail in it apart from some cactus. The gameplay is really good, it plays at a nice enough speed, it scrolls well and the controls are pretty good although it can be quite tough to hit the enemies. The music from Lyndon Sharp is fantastic, it's right up there among the best he done.

So in conclusion this is pretty good though I've never managed to get Jack Nicholson...oh sorry Jack Nickalot! One day I will though.....one day.

The Bounty Hunter is a nice Gun Smoke clone. Nothing new or special, but not bad either. It includes three types of levels that repeat each with a different background/color layout for each different criminal to be caught. Part two sees you mounted on a horse shooting bad guys out of the windows of a moving train. Part three is a clone of the classic Boot Hill, but even more basic and without the wagon in the middle.
If you like Desperado, Who Dares Wins 2 or Commando, you will enjoy this for sure, although I prefer the other games much more.

Very nice Gun Smoke clone.. but not only that, it also features stages reminiscent of ExpressRaiders ( riding horse chasing a train ) and Boothill ( this one for the final boss stages )

Not bad for a budget release at all.

It moves well, has colour.. and is taxing. Thats good for an arcade.
Is important to keep an eye in ammunition reserves and collect more.

Although is not very smooth, and would have been a better with a progression in difficult curve ( an usual flaw of low-price games ) is superior to GunSmoke and Outlaw, the other vertical westerns of Spectrum softlogy.

I would liked to have an Speccy Gun-Smoke clone with three buttons of fire.. like the coin-op. something very affordable using keyboard. Seems that at 80-90es seemed a complication for playing.

Recommended for arcade shoot'em up lovers. 3.75/5

It's like Gun.Smoke which is a game I never got on with, and like it's counterpart it's hard, too bloody hard in fact. I never got far into this at all.
