Showdown (version 5.0) — About this game
Showdown (version 5.0) places poker choices inside a western shooting presentation. Instead of choosing cards through a conventional panel, the player fires the cabinet’s gun at the displayed cards. Tex or Doc, Dolly and Rawhide provide the opposing table characters. The useful target is therefore the card wanted for the current hand rather than a passing enemy. Exact hand, wager and round instructions need to be followed from the game’s presentation.
