I have contacted Gerard Sweeny who
runs the TIPSHOP and requested to
reprint these tips, he agreed as long
as I made reference to where they
came from and left the tipsters names
in the text. Many thanks for this
Tips...
When starting the game always start
at 3 (Nugget city) as this gives you
best options when leaving)
When you enter a city or about to
leave always go to the Telegraph
Office (4). You need to know where
Charles A Siringo is...Always go in
the opposite direction of where he
is. Doesn't always work but 90/100
times he won't catch you. Don't go to
that office if you have more than
$100 dollars as the guy will try and
charge you $61...
You are actually best to go to the
telegraph office first as the rewards
may go up if the wild bunch have done
a robbery.
Always go to the bar and have 1 beer
and 1 redeye, no more, as you will
lose health.
Always visit the Sheriffs office and
jot down the name and description.
Then go straight to the bar and look
around (can only do this once per
town) and if the description matches
and you have a gun (don't go and look
around if you don't have a
gun(they'll run off)). If you take
them in, you'll never complete the
game, they always escape and you
don't get the picture and name of
your killer. If you've got
bullets...take them to the street. If
you have sound listen to the music as
they tend to draw on the end of the
third phase of music. If the
description doesn't match.. have a
guess and take them to the sheriffs
office (choice 1). If you get it
wrong he will fine you 10% of the
money you have so best not to have
too much...
If you find the bloke you are looking
for take him in.. don't shoot him as
he can't prove your innocence If you
get it right...buy supplies.
When buying supplies always buy a
horse and saddle...don't just buy the
horse as you still take twice as long
with out a saddle.. Buy more food for
you and less for the horse...
If you go across the mountains, buy a
Great coat AND a blanket.
If you go across the desert, buy
twice as much water plus two.. as the
horse drinks water and you are
guaranteed to get caught in a
sandstorm.
If you can't afford to buy a
horse...get just enough food for you
plus one and walk to nearest safe
city.
On the travel from city to city.....
If you have a horse and saddle...run
from everything.. on average you save
a lot of energy.
If you don't have a horse...fight
everything unless you have the money
to bribe...
When fighting use at least 20 more
energy points than needed.. otherwise
they get upset or annoyed..
If you do upset or annoy them use
more than you used before otherwise
they might nick your gun.
Playing poker...
Very easy to win....
If you have a royal flush
(10,jack,queen,king and ace of
spades)...
Either raise the bid a little of call
his bet.. keep doing this until he
either sees you or you cant afford to
make a bid.. be careful if the bid is
more than you've got you lose the
money you put in..
If you have four 3's of four 2's
Call his bet a couple of times and
then see him...don't gamble too much
as the dealer gets a lot of royal
flushes.
Full house's ... call his bet once
and then see him.. don't risk it...
Straights...and three of a kind...
See him straight away...don't gamble.
All other hands throw a way.. when
you get them.

Cheat modes When out of town and
fighting, you will be asked "you have
**** strength, how much will you
use?". At this point, enter
"10-10000". The enemy will be
annoyed, but when you are asked
again, you will now have an extra
9990 energy. This number can be
higher or lower if you wish, but not
too high or your energy will be
expressed in letters as well as
numbers.

Thanks to the recent advances in
emulation, we are able to do things
not possible before on the Speccy 48k
with 'The Wild Bunch'.
I know that it (the first tip) is
blatant cheating, but, here are some
tips on how to make it a little
easier.
When you apprehend a member of the
bunch, during the gunfights, slow the
emulation RIGHT DOWN to like, 50% and
watch the fight. Probably now would
be a good time to disappear and make
a coffee :) You'll have enough time.
When he goes for his gun, shoot him
in slow motion. Ha. An easy reward,
and there's no chance of him breaking
out of jail. However, I do like doing
the following - arrest them and take
them in providing that they don't
escape), then after they escape from
jail (and you hear about it from the
telegraphs office - also, because he
has escaped, the reward goes UP), go
and find the guy in some bar, and
offer him a gunfight. Because the
program can't 'refuse' a gunfight,
you get to shoot the guy and claim a
reward twice over :)
Playing poker - the gambler will not
play with you at around $120. So,
make your money (and cane him on the
royal flushes), go and buy some food
or something from the store (to take
your money down to $119) and go back
to clean him out again.
This is cheating a bit too - using
the SNA (snapshot) function of the
emulator. When you arrive in a new
town, the wanted poster will be
different each time. Before you leave
the first town for the first time,
save a snapshot. Now, go to the town
and look at the poster (you now
should have descriptions for two wild
bunch members). Keep doing this until
you have all of them, leave the first
town (with all that knowledge) and go
on your hunt.
And remember - don't shoot the one
you actually want. I did this and was
unable to prove I was innocent :)
Repeat ad infinitum until you have
everything you need from the store
and a heap of 'free' money.
If you don't like the price that the
telegraphs office charges you, leave
and then go back. Repeat until you
get a price that you like :)
