About Boot Hill
Duel opponents in a western gunfight using dual-joystick controls. Use a small joystick to move your cowboy vertically around cacti and wagons, while a larger joystick manages pistol aiming and firing via an integrated trigger. This versus shooter pits two players against each other on opposite sides of a monochrome display overlaid on a backlit background.
Player layout in our catalog: 2P sim.
If you are exploring by feel rather than by title, jump from the tags above into the matching genre rooms, or return to the Arcade hall for the full wall.
Open Play on this page to start Boot Hill. Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
