Game Introduction

This game has black-and-white graphics. You must shoot an outlaw that suddenly appears somewhere in the town displayed on the screen. You must draw your gun as soon as he draws his and then you must shoot him before he shoots you in order to score points. Players can select one of two characters: Half-fast Pete or Billy-The-Kid. Pete is more accurate while Billy can draw faster. Certain numbers of hits are needed to achieve the end-of-game ratings such as "Dude", "Greenhorn" and "Top Gun".

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
