==NES version== The game was later ported to the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Family Computer Disk System]] in 1988. The objective is to free the town of Hicksville from the band of criminals known as the Wingates. But in order to capture their most dangerous henchmen, in each stage the player must retrieve a Wanted sign of said henchman, otherwise it is impossible to clear the stage. The NES version also has different music. In this game, the main character is a bounty hunter named Billy Bob. ===Differences from the arcade version=== Even though the NES version stayed true to the gameplay of the arcade version there were major changes done: * Only six of the ten bosses were in this version (Master, Ninja, Cutter, Wolf Chief, Los Pubro, and Fat Man). * ''Billy'' was given extra weapons like: a shotgun, a machine gun, a smart bomb, and a magnum. * Bullets are used for ammo for the extra weapons. * A storyline is built around the game: in 1849, the Wingates attack the town of Hicksville, kill the Sheriff, and raid trouble every day until ''Billy'' comes (with a sunset behind him). * The Wingates in the game are a gang instead of a family of 2 sons and a father. * You can purchase weapons and items from people. * Four of the bosses had their names changed. Master's name was changed to ''Bandit Bill'', Wolf Chief was changed to ''Devil Hawk'', Fat Man was changed to ''Fat Man Joe'' (a knockoff of ''Pig Joe'') and Los Pubro was changed to ''Wingate''. * Los Pubro was made the final boss in the NES version as ''Wingate'' with a slash over one of his eyes, a cape, and armed with a gatling gun. * The other bosses had their appearances changed too. Bandit Bill (Master) now wears a red shirt and blue jeans. Cutter wears a baggy blue sleeveless shirt and red pants. Ninja wears a purple ninja outfit with no mask and sports a ponytail and he shoots shurikens that split into fours. Devil Hawk (Wolf Chief) is now shirtless and uses fireballs as his weapon. Fat Man Joe wears an armored plated shirt and uses a bomb gun. * There is another type of yashichi that will give you temporary invincibility. ===Disk System version=== Though virtually identical to the NES version, the Famicom Disk Ssystem version featured several differences from the NES version: * This game, like virtually all other FDS games, feature load times. * The font is similar to what is used in most Capcom games on the Famicom/NES. However, on the NES version, the font is changed to the military-font, also seen in the arcade version. * "In America" is called "In 1849". * Bandit Bill's mugshot on the wanted poster is slightly different in both versions of the game. In the FDS version, his shirt has an open collar, with part of his body showing. In the NES version, his shirt has a scarf around it. On top of that, the mugshots for the wanted posters were originally more colorful looking, whereas in the NES version, they're a bit more realistic looking. * In this version, the shopping music features less instruments. Also, many of the tunes featured in the NES version are nowhere to be found in this version, and instead recycle the same music for certain scenes in the game. This is due to the limited memory space in FDS disk cards. * There is no game demonstration like there is in the NES version. * After beating the game the first two times, the player is rewarded with a Japanese message that tells the player to try the game again. After the third time, the player will be rewarded with a simple message that says "THE END". The Japanese message was thrown out in the NES version, instead of being translated into English. ===Levels=== Each level in the game is given a name. These are the names of each level and the bosses of them. * Round 1 - The town of Hicksville - Boss: Bandit Bill - Prize Money: $10,000 * Round 2 - The Boulders - Boss: Cutter - Prize Money: $12,000 * Round 3 - Comanchi Village - Boss: Devil Hawk - Prize Money: $25,000 * Round 4 - Death Mountain - Boss: Ninja - Prize Money: $20,000 * Round 5 - Cheyenne River - Boss: Fatman Joe - Prize Money: $20,000 * Round 6 - Fort Wingate - Boss: Wingate - Prize Money: $30,000 In both the NES and Disk System versions of the game, the game has to be beaten 3 times in order to obtain the true ending, in which the player is rewarded with a simple message that types out as "THE END."
