Game Introduction

A great platform game, very similar to Spinmaster. The first level is in the far west and looks like Sunset Riders. Try to shoot all the bad guys and defeat the boss at the end of each stage. The game ends after completing all five stages.

Game Play

Level one is set in the Wild West. Level two has a military theme with soldiers and helicopters attacking the player. Level three is set in a haunted house. Charlie can collect items along the way which increase his firepower. Barrels can be smashed to reveal bonuses or picked up and thrown at the enemy.
