Overview and Gameplay
Bounty hunter Billie Bob advances through six vertically scrolling stages to free Hicksville from the Wingate gang. Each area hides a Wanted Poster that must be uncovered or purchased before its outlaw boss appears. Defeating the target earns the posted bounty and opens the next route toward Fort Wingate.
Controls And Mechanics
Billie Bob fires toward the upper-left or upper-right, while pressing both attack buttons shoots straight ahead. The General Store converts collected money into Wanted Posters, ammunition, equipment, and special weapons such as the Shotgun, Machine Gun, Magnum, and Napalm Bomb.
Boots improve movement, rifles strengthen standard shots, and a horse absorbs additional damage. Yashichi icons grant extra lives, while enemies and valuables increase the score and available spending money.
Version Notes
The NES adaptation restructures the arcade game into six redesigned stages and adds Wanted Posters, an equipment store, purchasable weapons, and a new Wingate storyline.
