Billy Frontier is an arcade style action game where you play a space cowboy named Billy Frontier. The game is made up of four different types of mini-games: Duels, Shootouts, Stampedes, and Target Practices.

Billy Frontier looked good on the Pangeasoft website. When I downloaded it, and started playing it I was very disappointed. I can safely say it was a waste of money. Firstly, after playing about three times, it just becomes so predictable that both the interest and challenge are lost. The fact that you have to duel is extremely annoying. In advanced levels, if you miss one key sequence you just learn to give up before finishing. Also, the duels depend on matching the sequence on screen with keypresses using direction keys. However, most of the time when I miss a sequence it's not because I got the sequence wrong but having pressed the right hey, nothing happened. Consequently, I have never managed to play swap stampede because the game doesn't reliably register key presses entered. Another thing is that there are only 2 shootout levels, the swamp shootout ends with a total anti-climax and I would rather not play the duels but I have to to play the shootouts and the stampedes, which are boring also. I like most Pangea products but leave this one behind.

However, to play a new mission you first must win a duel against one to three of the enemies. Once you have won the duel you will be let into the mission. There are ranges of difficulty in the duels and their subsequent missions.
