Gameplay
Game A - 1 Outlaw
In game A, the player has a showdown with one of five different outlaws. The outlaw walks to the middle of the screen and turns towards the player. After a moment, he'll yell "Fire!!", and at that moment the player will have to shoot. If done successfully, the gunman will yell "You won!!". Upon defeating the gunman, you'll be rewarded cash for your good deed. The quicker you shoot him, the more points you'll get. After you win, another gunman will come on the screen, and the act above will be repeated. The game ends when the player loses all three lifes.
Game B - 2 Outlaws
Game B is similar to Game A, except the showdown will involve two outlaws instead of one. They'll both yell "Fire!!", and the player will have to aim and shoot at both of them very quickly. In later rounds, they sometimes yell at different times, and the player has to be sure to only shoot the correct outlaw. If successful, then you'll be rewarded as you were before.
Game C - Gang
Game C is different from the previous two games. The player stands in front of a saloon with five openings where outlaws will pop out. You have 15 bullets to defeat 10 outlaws. After every 10 kills, your ammunition is replenished.
