Billy the Kid

_Billy the Kid_ is set in the Wild West and features William H. Bonney, the
famous outlaw also known as Billy the Kid, and his adversary Sheriff Pat
Garrett. Both are hired by the rancher John Tunstall to protect Lincoln County
from outlaws. Unfortunately Tunstall is murdered and the two disagree how to
proceed: while Garrett wants to strengthen law and order, Billy the Kid sets
out to avenge Tunstall the hard way.

The player chooses between the role of Billy the Kid or Garrett which changes
their goals, e.g. as Billy the Kid the player needs to build up an outlaw
army. During the game, the next destination is chosen through an overhead map,
e.g. the city of Santa Fe or a camp of Native Americans. In cities, the player
can move, enter different buildings and talk to people in order to receive
hints what to do next (sometimes hints are also received when entering one of
the other locations on the map). Some people need to be bribed with money
which can be earned with certain actions like robbing a bank. Often the
character has to engage in action sequences, e.g. a shootout in which
crosshairs are moved over the screen to shoot enemies as soon as they leave
their cover. When the basic goal is reached, the game culminates in a shootout
between Billy the Kid and Garrett.
