''The Last Bounty Hunter'' is a Live-action Laserdisc Video Game released by American Laser Games in 1994 . Like almost all of the games produced by the now-defunct company, it was a Rail Shooter and, like the two installments in the '' Mad Dog McCree '' series before it, was set in the Old West . Filmed at Old Tucson Studios in Tucson, Arizona , it was one of the company's last releases before it was forced to close down. It was also re-released by Digital Leisure in 2002 . PLOT The storyline of ''The Last Bounty Hunter'' is relatively simple, as is the case with most rail shooters similar to it. The player steps into the shoes of an anonymous Bounty Hunter who rides into a busy town in order to track down and bring to justice four outlaws whose control over the territory is widespread. Handsome Harry, Nasty Dan, El Loco, The Cactus Kid and their respective gangs are terrorizing the peaceful citizens of the county and it is up to the player to defeat them. The beginning of the game pits the player against a group of bandits attacking a fort commanded by a United States Army General , Clinton Briggs. With each scenario, the player fights his way to the final enemy, one of the four outlaws, each of whom can either by wounded and apprehended or shot dead. In the meantime, the player must battle their gangs in settings such as a train station, a casino and the scorching heat of the Great Plains . The ending sequence depends on the way in which the criminals were brought to justice. GAMEPLAY The player receives an amount of money for each neutralized outlaw; this money translates into points. Throughout the game, two different weapons can be used: the standard Six-shooter or the seemingly more powerful Shotgun , which can be found as a bonus at times. Showdowns take place at random, though more frequently and with greater diversity than in ''Mad Dog McCree''; one of the gunfighters is Wes Flowers, the star of another American Laser Games release, '' Fast Draw Showdown ''. As in other related games, shooting and reloading are done exclusively via Mouse or Light Gun . Getting hit or firing upon a Civilian results in the loss of one of three lives and an appropriate sequence involving a Gravedigger . There is one load/save slot and a second player can be introduced at the start of the game. |
