WANTED: A Wild Western Adventure Hints

What am I supposed to do to win this gunfight?

  • 1 of 8: This shootout doesn't work like any of the others. You can relax because there's no time limit and can take your time. (Note that you can't exit, nor can you save or load, once this sequence starts.)
  • 2 of 8: Pictures of the 6 bad guys are at the top of the screen, while Fenimore and the farmers are at the bottom.  All of the good guys will take turns shooting at various targets.

    At the bottom of the screen from left to right, the good guys are: Fenimore, Tom, Alvin, Joe, Rhiannon and Alma.

    When a bad guy's photo darkens, you're finished with him for the moment.  Then you'll select one of the good guys by pointing to and clicking on their picture with the crosshairs.
  • 3 of 8: You start as Fenimore.  His job is to disable the two men behind the blue Acme crates. The crates can't be moved, but you can shoot the hand on the left side (Starek) and Floyd (his body or his hand) on the right side.
  • 4 of 8: Watch their photos. When those darken, choose one of the other good guys when their photo lights up. (You'll probably need to repeat Fenimore's actions several times in between.)
  • 5 of 8: Tom's view is from above, looking down on a group of crates & barrels.  Those can be moved by shooting at them.  Whiskers will run when Tom is successful.
  • 6 of 8: Alvin is in the bunker. Shoot at the right-most tree (slightly behind and to the right of another tree).
  • 7 of 8: Rhiannon is in another bunker.  Her job is to blow up the tower. Aim a bit left and low. Shoot until the tower falls.
  • 8 of 8: Alma will finish off the tower from her point of view.  Shoot at the base of it.
