SHOOT-OUT
=========

Thar's bin some real rootin' tootin' trouble down at ol' Gulch Creek. The innocent 
Townsfolk are bein' hounded by them pesky varmits from Dusty's Place and thangs are 
lookin' bad.

But, when thangs get bad... the locals send for you, Quick Hand Luke.

Six guns a 'blazing, you're meaner than a rattler an' twice as deadly, as you sends 
ol' Dusty's critters to Boot Hill Cemetery... but watch out for them poor ol' 
Townsfolk.

Great graphics, sound and addictive action ... reckon you sure ain't no Joystick 
King if you can't clean up Gulch Creek!


GAMEPLAY

The innocent townsfolk of Gulch Creek are being hounded by them low-down critters from 
Dusty’s Place.

To clean up the town you must walk down the main street, guns at the ready. At any moment 
one of Dusty’s bad’uns may appear keen to send you feet-first to Boot Hill. Aim the gun 
sight and blaze away (yup, you sure hit the old red eye last night!)

Get them before they get you, but watch out for the innocent townsfolk.

Hang on, what’s this? The locals have heard that you aren’t as good as you’re cracked up 
to be. Better prove they’re wrong by shooting the bottles before the time limit lapses. 
Fail to do this, and they’ll run you out of town quicker than a coyote on Mexican beans.
