About the Story
You, ex-ranger Kip Starr, receive a telegram from James Badland, your one and only true-blue. "What sort of trouble is it this time, old guy?" you mutter while opening the telegram. "That boy always seems to get himself hooked up with the wrong people." It's no surprise to find that he’s south of the border and behind bars. A second telegram informs you that James is to be hung in two days. You realize you'd better get moving or you may never see your friend again. Just as you're about to head south, you receive yet another telegram. This one leaves you pale and weak. It reads;
WE’VE ESCAPED FROM JAIL.
JUST A WARNING FOR YOU AND THAT BUDDY OF YOURS.

Gunslinger is an illustrated Adventure developed by Imagination Development Systems (whoever they are) and distributed in Australia by Intellicreations under the Datasoft label. U.S. Gold will be releasing a disk version in the U.K. in October so it should be widely available by the time you read this.
It would appear that Gunslinger was originally written for the Apple II. This is probably a good sign as Apple Adventures tend to be top notch. The game has since been translated for the Atari XL/XE and the Coldsore 64. The Atari version comes on three double-sided disks! That's a lot of Adventure!
In Gunslinger, you play the role of Kip Starr, a former Texas Ranger who has to rescue his old pal James Badland from the hangman's noose. The Texas Rangers were raised when the Texas Revolution broke out in 1835 and were active until around 1890. They were famous for their courage, determination, endurance and leadership.
