At 66.5 pence per game, this little six-pack could tempt fanciers of rip-roaring frontier action. The events include trick shooting, knife throwing, bronco riding (!), calf roping (!!) and a couple of other strange activities. Is bottle shooting your bag? Individually, they're all pretty die but as a little bundle of fun it's worth a few laughs.

I particularly enjoyed chucking a knife at a whirling wheel, with some poor lass strapped to it but half the fun is hitting here; it's about the only bit of fun you get for four quid. And there isn't much going for the games otherwise. Unfortunately, these multi-game-one-tape wild west thingies involve a good deal of waiting around and thumb twiddling.

But what the heck. The simple games are a laugh, if only because they almost look appropriately dated. Some of the backgrounds are actually pretty neat-looking.

I wouldn't worry about rustling up any interest in the direction of the open range. This doesn't even come in too highly as a side show worth seeing.

A rough 'n ready collection of side show favourites served up slightly cold. It might be great fun for Western lovers but some of these games look as though they were written in 1854. Personally, I'd have strong reservations (how!).
