The goal is to rid the town of thugs. The game supports the Sega Light Phaser. Two can be used simultaneously for cooperative play in two-player mode. The game was released in Japan for Shooting Zone, a Master System-compatible arcade board dedicated to light gun games. However, due to the aesthetics of the Arcade cabinet, this version only supports a single light gun.
