People who like to read Lucky Luke comic books must know Billy the Kid. For the people who don't: Billy the Kid is a young boy and he is a criminal which has been sent to prison a lot of times. In this game Billy is in prison again. It's your task to help him to get out of the prison. You'll find weapons and other things to defend yourself on your way to the exit of the building.
There are some cipiers who will try to kill you so you can't escape. You have to kill them to save yourself.

The graphics are nice, but the gameplay isn't very nice. Billy is very small and that's not because he's a kid, because the cipiers are small too. The view of the game is a bit crap in my opinion. The developers tried to make it 3D but I think they only made the game worser with that. Although the game can be pretty fun to play!

No other historical figure from the Old West has stirred up more controversy and eluded historians and biographers other than Billy the Kid. This young man in his short life has established his place in history and legend, but there is more to the myth, there's the man, which in my opinion is far more interesting. In this review you'll find plenty of information about the Billy the Kid game and how it was made.
An absolute classic game of its time, Billy the kid was one of my favorite games growing up. You play as Billy The Kid, who has been sent to prison many times, Your mission it to help Billy the Kid Escape from prison without getting him killed. Like most older games, Billy the Kid's graphics are nothing to go on about, however the game is a classic and if you don't like these sort of games then your not looking in the right place. Playing as Billy the Kid, an on the run convict sent to prison for life, your mission is to escape from the rotten prison grounds you are held in. Using all kinds of weapons, you must try and defeat jail guards, keeps and dogs along the way.
Level by level you bust through prison walls, doors, windows and all other kinds of environments.
A long line of challenging enemies also cut you off on your journey as well, your mission is to kill em all. There’s no point being called Billy the Kid without killing a few law enforcers. You meet all sorts of interesting and scary people throughout the game as well. Starting off in a cramped up prison cell. you immediately wander what is going on. The sheriff has locked you up in here and he wants you to rot away for life. well no sir that isn't going to happen, were busting out of this joint and quickly. Unfortunately in the game. if you die, you die. You will have to start from the beginning if you run out of lives. make sure you stock up on plenty of keys, ammo, and have a red bull and some chocolate next to you because your in for one great classical game.
I would recommend this game to anyone who is into the classical types of video games that were used in DOS and windows 95 etc. At no point do I ever regret buying or playing this game, in fact when I bought it, it was only about 5 dollars from the games shop at my local shopping centre and I still have it today.
It’s such an easy game that anyone can play!
