Wild Gunman Guide Game A: 1 Outlaw
How to Play
In each wave, a lone gunman walks onto the screen. His eyes flash and he shouts "FIRE!!". Shoot the gunman faster than he shoots you.
- The gunman's shot time is shown at the top of the screen.
- If you are the fastest shot, "YOU WIN!!" is displayed. You receive bonus points based on your shot time, plus the reward money (see scoring).
- If the gunman is the fastest shot, "YOU LOSE!!" is displayed. You lose a life and move on to the next wave.
- If you shoot before the gunman says "FIRE!!", you get a "FOUL!!", lose a life and move on to the next wave.
- The game is over when you lose 3 lives.
Techniques
- You can shoot anywhere on the TV screen.
- You can learn to predict when each gunman will shoot by listening to the tension music before they fire. Each type of gunman will say "FIRE!!" at specific times.
- Shoot slow gunmen as fast as you can to maximise your bonus score.
Scoring
Reward Money
If you shoot the gunman first, you receive their reward. This is converted to points and added to your score.
- The reward for each gunman is shown at the bottom of the screen.
- Each type of gunman has a range of rewards.
Bonus! Your Shot Time vs. Gunman Shot Time
You receive a 1000 point bonus for every one-tenth of a second that your shot time is faster than the gunman's shot time.
- The last digit in your shot time doesn't matter. A shot time of 0.50 receives the same bonus as a shot time of 0.59.
- The bonus is added to your score before the reward money.
This system means a quick shot scores more points against an easy gunmen than a hard gunman. For example, if your shot time is 0.35, you receive up to 7000 bonus points for Gunman B (easiest) and up to 2000 points for Gunman E (hardest). The reward money doesn't make up the difference.
