Gringos: The Game That Lets You Shoot Gringos As They Leave the John
Posted by Pat Logsdon in "SOFTWARE" @ 02:00 PM
Yes, you heard me correctly. This FREE game from Clickgamer features you (the player) unloading hot lead into Gringos as they attempt to leave the outhouses they're hiding in. Before you get indignant and go off to form the Gringo Ethical Treatment Bureau Entertaining Notions of Tolerance (GETBENT), you should know that these dirty, mean Gringos are trying to shoot you! So that makes it alright, I guess.
"Somethin' don't smell right in El Paso. Gucho 'Leroy' Gambino and his gang are on the run. They are hiding out in a few abandoned toilets in Shadow Creek. You know where they are, and it is your job to flush them out!
• Collect as much loot as you can carry
• Shoot the Gringos before they draw their guns!
• Don't gun down people with white flags!
• Avoid shooting the civilians else you will lose a life
• Upload your high score to the Gringos High Scores table
• Specially composed music score"
Let's summarize, shall we? First, get loot (swag, booty, treasure, piles o' cash, T-Bills, etc.) Second, shoot the Gringos before they shoot you (I suppose that you COULD show mercy on the Gringos, who may possibly have been brought up in broken, dysfunctional homes, but then your games would be rather short and pointless). Third, don't kill people with white flags. My guess here is that the white flags aren't very valuable (thus, not loot), or the people carrying these flags are doing so to indicate that they are NOT Gringos, and thus not likely to jump out of bathrooms and shoot you. Fourth, don't kill civilians. Not having played the game, my guess would be that civilians can be identified by their clothes, which probably don't involve big hats or belts made out of bullets. Finally, you can share your high scores with other big-shot Gringo killers, AND you can enjoy specially composed music (from the CD "Music to Slaughter Gringos To") while you're capping all of those filthy Gringos. :D
