SHODOWN

by Russell Starkey
SHOWDOWN. All of the excitement and action of an authentic Old West gunfight right at your fingertips! Designed with arcade-tough playability, SHOWDOWN delivers the goods fast and furiously!

SHOWDOWN. Gunslingers (players) are pitted against one another in a dusty duel to the death. Provisions are made for two players, or an individual player can challenge the computer in lieu of a human partner.

SHOWNDOWN. Select your skill level: Greenhorn, Old Smokey, or Gunslinger. The game begins when you square off against your opponent and maneuver your cowpoke into position for the kill, using various keys on your keyboard which will raise or lower his firing arm. Obstacles continually move in and out of your line of fire, making it more difficult to score a hit. The computer keeps track of how many rounds you have fired, and at the game's end, numerically displays who shot whom and how many times.

SHOWDOWN. A realistic arcade-style game that you will play again and again. But have a care! Life comes cheaply in the badlands — one wrong move may be your last!
