INSTRUCTIONS

The Governor's face bore a worried frown as he re-read the letter scrawled
on notepaper that had been delivered wrapped around a rock.  His beloved
daughters had been abducted by the not so savoury inhabitants of the
badlands territories.  If he wanted to see them again a ransom was to be
paid...  but the governor had other ideas.

Into his office stalked Pete Coyote, known thoughout the west as badlands
Pete.  His quick fire two-handed gun style and steely glare are recognised
and feared by desperados everywhere.  "I've got a new job for you Pete.
It's time we showed those folk in the 'lands that we mean business".  Pete
looked at the Governor coldy from under the brim of his hat and asked "Ok,
but what's in it for me?"

"Alright Pete, I'll pay the full bounty on anyone who gets in your way, but
the towns folk may offer a bounty on your head in return".  Pete looked
straight at the governor.  "Not good enough Governor!  The risks outweigh
the reward.  How about five thousend dollars for every daughter I send home
alive?"

"Have a heart pete, how about two and a half?  You know how many girls I've
raised!"

Pete gave a cynical smile.  "In gold governor, I want it in gold".  With
that Pete turned on his heels and walked from the office.  The Governor
rose from behind his desk and crossed to the window.  As he looked towards
the badlands he wondered whether the people out there realised what was
coming.

SOME HINTS 'N' TIPS
-------------------
Aiming and shooting:  Close quarter gunplay is not always the most
accurate.  If you have trouble hiting enemies that are close by then try
backing off or moving into or out of the screen.

Choosing Targets:  If you are uncertain of a character's intentions, watch
and wait to see if he (or she) draws his/her gun, offers a bonus object or
ignores Pete before he blazed away with his guns.

Travelling between towns:  Riding on trains rather than walking is much
easier on Pete's health.  Tickets for the journey can be found during
gameplay.  Without a ticket you will not be allowed onto the station
platform.
