Overview and Gameplay
John Reid rides across the American frontier to hunt Butch Cavendish and stop a plot involving the kidnapped President. Konami combines overhead exploration, town conversations, side-view platforming, horseback action, and first-person gunfights across eight mission-based areas.
Players gather clues, reveal new destinations, defeat outlaws, earn money, and purchase ammunition, dynamite, health treatment, and gun-range upgrades. Progress is recorded with passwords issued after completed areas.
Controls And Mechanics
- Directions move the Lone Ranger, aim weapons, and navigate first-person areas.
- A jumps in side-view stages and handles conversations or interactions elsewhere.
- B punches, fires the revolver, or throws selected dynamite.
- Select cycles between fists, regular bullets, silver bullets, and TNT.
- The six-shooter reloads after six rounds. Silver bullets deal greater damage and can pass through targets.
