Iron Horse

Iron Horse puts you in the role of a cowboy pursuing train robbers across scrolling stages. Viewed from an elevated side angle, you move from left to right along the train, choosing between the train itself and its roof when alternate routes appear.

Before each mission, you select one of three weapons: fists, a whip, or a pistol. You also have a limited fire attack that spreads along the floor. Enemies include cowboys armed with guns, whips, fire, and dynamite, while contact or enemy attacks cost one of your three lives.

Gold bags scattered throughout the train provide extra points. At blocked sections, you must defeat groups of cowboys before continuing toward a large pile of gold.
