Overview
Description

Step into the boots of Marty and Doc as they race against time in the dusty streets of 1885. This single‑player arcade action game blends shooting galleries, platforming, and turn‑based strategy as you fend off Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen’s gang and rescue Clara Clayton. Featuring frantic side‑scrolling chases, first‑person shooting galleries, and a variety of power‑ups, the game captures the humor and urgency of the film while delivering retro graphics and tight controls for classic arcade fans.

Mad Dog II: The Lost Gold brings the classic rail‑shooter experience to PC and PlayStation 3, retaining the motion‑capture graphics of the original Mad Dog McCree. Players face off against outlaws in a Wild West setting, using quick‑draw mechanics to fire at enemies as they appear on screen. The game adds three selectable guides that lead you through different routes, offering limited replay value while keeping the core gameplay familiar and stable compared to its predecessor.
