Shoot Out - Alan Trevartha (Your Spectrum-No.20-Page 59)





Right, who said games are kids stuff? Well, hold your horses,

cowboy, 'cos this game's Billy the Kid's stuff! So, strap on your

holster, load up your six-shooter and mosey on down to Cactus Canyon.

And just take a look at the time. It's High Noon!



Yep, being quick on the draw is the name of the game, so start

slinging that gun around. Your aim is to shoot down your opponent

before he has a chance to pump you full of lead. Weave your way behind

the cactus bushes and take cover behind the stagecoach or you'll end

up in a coffin. Well, you don't want to die with your boots on!



Shoot Out is a two-player game - well, where would Butch be without

the Sundance Kid? - so you and your pardner will need to know the

following control keys:



           Blue           Red

Up       1,2,3,4,5      6,7,8,9,0

Down     Q,W,E,R,T      Y,U,I,O,P

Fire     Caps,Z,X,C,V   B,N,M,S/S,Space



If you feel a Kempston joystick would be more akin to a six-shooter

then you'll need to make these additions:



Blue Player - POKE 29620,0: POKE 29622,31: POKE 29623,201

Red Player  - POKE 29660,0: POKE 29662,31: POKE 29663,201

[first note that it must be started with RUN 9000, not just RUN.         ]



[I'm not sure if the UDG used in lines 70 and 9030 is the right one, as  ]

[it wasn't printed correctly in the magazine listing so I just had to try]

[and guess one which seemed suitable.                               jimg ]
