The game is made up of four different types of mini-games: Duels, Shootouts, Stampedes, and Target Practices. There’s no overall plot in this game, instead, it’s all about having fun and shooting everything in sight! It’s the kind of game you pick up when you need a break and just want to blast stuff. When you play a new game you have access to all of the missions (except if you’re in demo mode), so you can play whatever part of Billy Frontier you want at any time. However, to play a new mission you first must win a duel against one to three of the enemies. Once you have won the duel you will be let into the mission. There are ranges of difficulty in the duels and their subsequent missions. VIDEO MODE SETTINGS DIALOG When you launch Billy Frontier you will see the Video Mode Settings Dialog. It is very important that you set these settings correctly, or the game may run slow on your computer: RESOLUTION: Users with slower video cards such as the Rage 128 should set this to the minimum setting, usually 640x480. If you have a very fast video card such as an ATI Radeon 8500 or better, then you can go as high as your monitor supports in most cases. 16/32-BIT COLOR: You should set this to 32-bit color unless you only have 8MB of VRAM. 32-BIT Z-BUFFER: 2 You should check this option, however, unchecking it may give you some minor performance increase on slow video cards such as the Rage 128. DON’T SHOW THIS DIALOG AGAIN: Check this box if you are happy with your video settings and don’t want this dialog to appear every time you run the game. Should you ever want this dialog to reappear simply hold down the Option key when you launch the game. SETTINGS DIALOG The Settings dialog can be invoked at any time by pressing F1, or by selecting the Settings option on the game’s menu screen. CLEAR HIGH SCORES: Clicking this button will cause all of your High Scores to be erased. LANGUAGE: This will switch the text in the Settings, Registration, and Video Mode dialogs to the desired language. 3 CONTROLS There are different controls for the different parts of the game, but we’ve tried to keep it as consistent as possible: GENERAL CONTROLS: M The M key will toggle the music on/off when in Play Mode -/= …
