Play a gun-slinging cowboy in the town of Tombstone, Arizona, in this action-adventure. Explore Tombstone which has been recreated with all of the characteristics of the real wild west town. Roam through the dusty streets and interact with the townsfolk. Visit the saloon and order whiskey at the bar. Learn about the life and times of Wyatt Earp as you explore and then test your knowledge in a mini-game of Old West Trivia. Practice quick-draw with your revolver defending yourself against bandits and other hoodlums that cross your path periodically. You'd better be fast, because the legendary Clanton Brothers and Doc Holliday are waiting for you at the O.K. Corral!
