ok. A cartoon spin off of the American Civil War. I used to love this game. It came be played as a one or a two player game. I found the two player game better as the computer can nearly always find a way of beeting you!

The idea of the game was to capture as many states as you could. The general lay out was a map of the US which showed who occupied where.

When invading the opponants territory, you go to a special battle ground scene. You play againsy each other with cannons, calvery and artilary. You had to be careful though, cos once they started moving they didn't stop and could fall in the canyon. If you lost troops, you had to wait until you had enough money for new troops could be sent out from base.

Other screens included the train race. If your troops were in the right state, you would try and intercept the train delivery of cash. You would run across the top of the train, trying to stay ahead of the screen catching up behind you. If you got to the drivers carriage you won and go the money if not you were humiliated!

You would also try and take over each others forts. This section was great. If you were the attacker you had to beat up opponants who came to challeng you, dodge dogs and got blown up several times by boobie traps. The idea was to get to the flag pole before the time ran out and claim the area as your own. However, if you were from the opposite side, you had a certain number of men you could send to try and stop your area from being nicked.

The other danger you had was the Indians. Every now and then you hear drums and a smoke signal goes up. Then a little Indian appears in the corner of the screen and starts dancing. A tomohawk then flies round the creen and ALWAYS wipes out the same spot!

If you were clever enough to take the state with queys then you would receive more troops when the ferry came into port.

A very playable game with funny titles. This is a game that involves us
ing your brain but also has the fun screens to give it a break.

A fantastic classic that anyone would enjoy - regardless of age.
