Dodge City

The package comes with two tapes, one for the action game, and the other for the adventure game, which is a 'follow on'.

In order to get into the adventure game you have to complete certain tasks in the action game, solve the clues, and come up with a code.

Taking the action game first, the scenario is the wild West, and you have to collect the mail and deliver all four sacks of it to Dodge City.

Dodge City

Every other time you manage to do this, there is a message waiting for you. These messages are all clues to help you with the adventure game.

While collecting the mail, you have to fight off the 'baddies' in the shape of Indians, Mexican bandits, and common or garden outlaws.

In the adventure game you are accused of murder, and you have to get your own way out of it. This consists of making a choice from options offered you. Some of the responses are obviously a random selection.

As you go along the adventure, many of the locations are depicted at the top of the screen as full colour scenes.

The graphics in the action game are a bit chunky, and the game is not what I would call addictive.
