Rodeo Games is an arcade game that will allow you to take part in a series of competition clearly associated with Western and Wild West. Among these unusual disciplines there are such attractions as catching a bull for a forest or riding a wild mount.

Before starting the struggle we can determine the number of players participating in the competition (maximum four people) and also decide which competitions we want to play (there is full freedom here). The first one is shooting at the target (Trick Shooting). On the board will appear cardboard mock-ups of different characters in which we have to hit accurately. In addition to typical hoodlumbers, there are also women with a child, ordinary men and sheriff silhouettes. Of course, shooting at civilians ends with penalty points, as well as attacking law enforcement officers. The task ends with targeting flying bottles. The second type of play is throwing knives at the shield (Knife Throwing), on which an attached Indian woman rests. The player has to combine here in such a way that the flying knife does not injure the partner. If he manages to do it eight times, the competition ends with our victory. If you hit a girl, we have to try again. The third queue is an attempt to catch a bull on lasso (Calf Doping). Our hero will move on horseback, which undoubtedly hinders the matter. After an accurate hit, you still have to stay on the mount, otherwise the bull will drag you over the ground. The fourth competition is very similar to the previous one. The only difference is that you have to catch the bull with your own hands (Calf Wrestling). It should be remembered that a customs jump on an escaping animal is not enough. The bull still has to be knocked down to the ground, which is done after grabbing it by the horns and crushing it with the whole body. The last type of competition is an attempt to stay on a wild mount (Bronco Riding). It only takes ten seconds to be lucky, but a horse with a row to the one who manages to do it without a large number of attempts. The animal is reeling like in a dragon and you need a lot of dexterity to finish the competition successfully. The last competition is almost a classic from westerns. Riding on horseback, we have to get to the stagecoach and save the passengers kidnapped by the Indians (Stagecoach Rescue). This is not easy, as opponents try to make it harder for us to get there by throwing luggage under our feet.

The only measure of success at Rodeo Games is the number of points earned. The sooner we get to grips with each task, the greater the bonus we will get. When the competition is over, the program counts all the points scored and on this basis determines the winner.

Rodeo Games is an interesting and certainly very original product. Individual competitions differ significantly from each other, which does not cause a feeling of monotony. The audio-visual setting does not impress, but it is also not completely tragic. Generally, the program can be recommended to all fans of sports games, who are not afraid of challenges in these were not, peculiar competitions.
