About This Game
Features four playable characters (Steve, Billy, Bob, and Cormano) each with unique weapon characteristics. The SNES version condensed the arcade experience while adding exclusive levels and gameplay tweaks.
Notable for its humorous take on Western tropes - enemies dance when shot, stagecoaches explode with cartoonish flair, and bosses deliver over-the-top death speeches.
The game's soundtrack blends Western motifs with Konami's signature arcade energy. Though difficult, its pick-up-and-play design made it an arcade and SNES favorite throughout the 90s.
