Saloon Shootout

A gunslinger stands at the bar of a saloon. You have 35 bullets and a clock. Shoot the mugs sliding along three shelves for 10 points; a mug that smashes on the floor costs 5. Every ten mugs a mouse runs along the floor, and each hit sends it back faster for more points. Now and then a shadow shows in a balcony window, then a figure appears. A masked bandit is worth 25, and if you miss him he shoots away 10 of your bullets; a friendly old-timer costs 100 if you hit him. Bullets come back only from the cards: shoot them in order from the ace down, and the fifth refills the gun. Shoot the piano keys for a tune. The game ends when the clock or the bullets run out.

Controls: Use either controller. The stick moves the sight and either button fires. On the title, up and down choose PLAY or CREDITS and a button confirms.
