    We just bought this game tonight, and my wife as been busy with it
    for about an hour or so.
    
    She would like alittle more directions, as is usually the case with
    the default directions that come with the game. Like how do you
    buy stuff. She "thought" she had bought a machine gun, but it doesn't
    show up anywhere. Also, what are the boots for?
    
    Thanks, just beginning,

       Once you select the weapon or anything you wish to purchase using
    the up/down lever...hit B-A To buy it.You will see your money disappear
    as well as hear a tone to signif the purchase took place...

     "A" button four times,   "SELECT" button four times,  and right
    two times on the control pad.

      I have played the game and I can get by the Indian Chief guy. I think
    Its a good game but after the Indian Chiefe dude it Kinda starts going
    downhill because the guys start to come up .from behind and shott you
    or stab you. I would rate it a hard 7.

    	Yes the game gets tough after the Indian Chief.  Death Mountain is
    exceptionally tough.  However, use the shotgun when they start coming
    up from behind.  The Smart Bomb is also crucial.  By the way, if you
    think Death Mountain is tough, just wait until you are at the end.  The
    final stage is practically impossible, especially when you lose your
    weapons from dying while holding them in your hand.
    	Also, each stage has the "invincibility" star which lasts for about
    ten seconds.  By sure to locate these, they come at the most
    oppurtunistic time.

    Is this the kind of game you can continue (via password or something)?
    
    The thing I don't like about alot of the games is that you always
    have to start off from scratch the next time you play. I really
    like the password games.
221.9Typical shoot 'em upCPDW::BRYANTL.U.C.K.=Labor Under Controlled KnowledgeWed May 10 1989 16:5213
    RE:.8
    
    Unfortunately, there is no password feature to the game.  When you die
    you may continue at the last level you started but once the game is
    turned off you must start from the begining again.  Also, continuing on
    the higher levels is difficult because all you are armed with is the
    pistol, which usually won't get you far
    
    On the plus side, once you get the hang of the earlier levels, you can
    "cruise" right on up to the harder ones in about ten minutes.  However,
    like most of these games, once you master it, the fun is gone and you
    hardly ever touch it again.  On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a
    5.  An average Nintendo game, nothing spectacular.
221.10Help for Gun SmokePOBOX::JODRYTue Jun 13 1989 11:086
    What is the best weapon for level three. The indians are everywhere
    and I am having some problems with them. Also, when I have purchased
    a smart bomb I seem to have trouble using it even though I select
    it. Any comments?
    
    Thanks
221.11level 3 weaponSNDCSL::BLEIWASLife begins at 150mphWed Aug 30 1989 18:0715
    I've found the best gun for level 3 to be the machine gun, or if
    you don't have it or enough money, the regular gun works well too.The
    other weapons aren't really as fast as these two. If you're really
    in a jam of course, the smart bomb is the ticket. I thought this
    game was pretty easy, because I've been playing it up at UMASS amherst
    for the past two years. ALL the screens and action are reproduced
    well ( with the same difficulty) on the NES. Good luck, and wait
    until you [are lucky enough to] reach the end!!!!
