## Description
_Tex_ is an Italian comic book series created in 1948 by Gian Luigi Bonelli
and Aurelio Galeppini. In this video game adaptation, the player controls Tex
Willer, a ranger in the Old West and the main character in the series. Tex is
alerted of trouble brewing in the nearby city of Cortez, which is quickly
transforming into a ghost town. He then travels to Cortez to find out that a
gang of thugs have been driving the townspeople away, and must uncover and
thwart the sinister plot behind these raids.
_Tex: Piombo Caldo_ (Burning Lead) is an action adventure game combining
exploration and multiple-choice interfaces, a gameplay style that would soon
thereafter become a mainstay of Simulmondo’s episodic game production. During
the exploration sections, Tex wanders through maze-like locations and must
defeat enemies, including hostile Apaches and bandits, using his bare hands or
his pistol. Other sections are shown through static screens with either
clickable items or a menu of possible actions. Both sections feature multiple-
choice dialogue with NPCs.
The story is divided into two chapters that can be played separately.
