Tombstones
reflex tester game for Commodore 64, 2017
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE STORY:
Our hero - EL GRINGO - is infamous for being the fastest and most dangerous
gunslinger in the wild, wild west. But he is tired of killing, and wants to
retire from his gunslinger career to settle down with his true love, MISS.
JIGGLYTITS. However, having this stellar reputation tempt outlaws from the
whole wide west to seek him down for duels! Will it be possible for EL GRINGO
to survive his retirement day and get to his true love?
AIM OF THE GAME:
To get to his true love, EL GRINGO has to gun down 6 outlaws on 3 different
stages: The Desert, The City and The Graveyard. Each outlaw is slightly
quicker than the previous, so EL GRINGO has to summon all his reaction,
speed, and will to survive.
HOW TO PLAY:
Press space to start the game. Place your fingers on the keyboard while you
GET READY. When a random character is displayed on the screen, you have to
press the same character on the keyboard to draw and shoot your gun! If you
are too slow, or you press the wrong character, you will get wasted. To quit
the game and return to the intro press "RUN/STOP"
TRAINER:
You can press "F8" to activate/de-activate the trainer. This can only be done
on the intro screen. If the trainer is activated, the border changes color to
dark blue. The trainer gives you full invincibility and you will never loose
a duel. Keep in mind that a cheater is not worthy of any points on the hall
of fame, so the score will remain at ZERO points as long as you have the
trainer activated. You can always return to the intro by pressing "RUN/STOP"
and deactivate the trainer.
