- Tips...
-
- When starting the game always start
- at 3 (Nugget city) as this gives you
- best options when leaving)
-
- When you enter a city or about to
- leave always go to the Telegraph
- Office (4). You need to know where
- Charles A Siringo is...Always go in
- the opposite direction of where he
- is. Doesn't always work but 90/100
- times he won't catch you. Don't go to
- that office if you have more than
- $100 dollars as the guy will try and
- charge you $61...
-
- You are actually best to go to the
- telegraph office first as the rewards
- may go up if the wild bunch have done
- a robbery.
-
- Always go to the bar and have 1 beer
- and 1 redeye, no more, as you will
- lose health.
-
- Always visit the Sheriffs office and
- jot down the name and description.
-
- Then go straight to the bar and look
- around (can only do this once per
- town) and if the description matches
- and you have a gun (don't go and look
- around if you don't have a
- gun(they'll run off)). If you take
- them in, you'll never complete the
- game, they always escape and you
- don't get the picture and name of
- your killer. If you've got
- bullets...take them to the street. If
- you have sound listen to the music as
- they tend to draw on the end of the
- third phase of music. If the
- description doesn't match.. have a
- guess and take them to the sheriffs
- office (choice 1). If you get it
- wrong he will fine you 10% of the
- money you have so best not to have
- too much...
-
- If you find the bloke you are looking
- for take him in.. don't shoot him as
- he can't prove your innocence If you
- get it right...buy supplies.
-
- When buying supplies always buy a
- horse and saddle...don't just buy the
- horse as you still take twice as long
- with out a saddle.. Buy more food for
- you and less for the horse...
-
- If you go across the mountains, buy a
- Great coat AND a blanket.
-
- If you go across the desert, buy
- twice as much water plus two.. as the
- horse drinks water and you are
- guaranteed to get caught in a
- sandstorm.
-
- If you can't afford to buy a
- horse...get just enough food for you
- plus one and walk to nearest safe
- city.
-
- On the travel from city to city.....
- If you have a horse and saddle...run
- from everything.. on average you save
- a lot of energy.
-
- If you don't have a horse...fight
- everything unless you have the money
- to bribe...
-
- When fighting use at least 20 more
- energy points than needed.. otherwise
- they get upset or annoyed..
-
- If you do upset or annoy them use
- more than you used before otherwise
- they might nick your gun.
-
- Playing poker...
- Very easy to win....
-
- If you have a royal flush
- (10,jack,queen,king and ace of
- spades)...
- Either raise the bid a little of call
- his bet.. keep doing this until he
- either sees you or you cant afford to
- make a bid.. be careful if the bid is
- more than you've got you lose the
- money you put in..
-
- If you have four 3's of four 2's
- Call his bet a couple of times and
- then see him...don't gamble too much
- as the dealer gets a lot of royal
- flushes.
-
- Full house's ... call his bet once
- and then see him.. don't risk it...
-
- Straights...and three of a kind...
- See him straight away...don't gamble.
-
- All other hands throw a way.. when
- you get them.

-
- Cheat modes When out of town and
- fighting, you will be asked "you have
- **** strength, how much will you
- use?". At this point, enter
- "10-10000". The enemy will be
- annoyed, but when you are asked
- again, you will now have an extra
- 9990 energy. This number can be
- higher or lower if you wish, but not
- too high or your energy will be
- expressed in letters as well as
- numbers.

-
- Thanks to the recent advances in
- emulation, we are able to do things
- not possible before on the Speccy 48k
- with 'The Wild Bunch'.
-
- I know that it (the first tip) is
- blatant cheating, but, here are some
- tips on how to make it a little
- easier.
-
- When you apprehend a member of the
- bunch, during the gunfights, slow the
- emulation RIGHT DOWN to like, 50% and
- watch the fight. Probably now would
- be a good time to disappear and make
- a coffee :) You'll have enough time.
-
- When he goes for his gun, shoot him
- in slow motion. Ha. An easy reward,
- and there's no chance of him breaking
- out of jail. However, I do like doing
- the following - arrest them and take
- them in providing that they don't
- escape), then after they escape from
- jail (and you hear about it from the
- telegraphs office - also, because he
- has escaped, the reward goes UP), go
- and find the guy in some bar, and
- offer him a gunfight. Because the
- program can't 'refuse' a gunfight,
- you get to shoot the guy and claim a
- reward twice over :)
-
- Playing poker - the gambler will not
- play with you at around $120. So,
- make your money (and cane him on the
- royal flushes), go and buy some food
- or something from the store (to take
- your money down to $119) and go back
- to clean him out again.
-
- This is cheating a bit too - using
- the SNA (snapshot) function of the
- emulator. When you arrive in a new
- town, the wanted poster will be
- different each time. Before you leave
- the first town for the first time,
- save a snapshot. Now, go to the town
- and look at the poster (you now
- should have descriptions for two wild
- bunch members). Keep doing this until
- you have all of them, leave the first
- town (with all that knowledge) and go
- on your hunt.
-
- And remember - don't shoot the one
- you actually want. I did this and was
- unable to prove I was innocent :)
-
- Repeat ad infinitum until you have
- everything you need from the store
- and a heap of 'free' money.
-
- If you don't like the price that the
- telegraphs office charges you, leave
- and then go back. Repeat until you
- get a price that you like :)
