Adventure in the Old West
Stand and Deliver, a game of strategy and conquest set in the Old West, begins with an untamed range and for the most ends at tombstone. Surrounded by unknown lands and hostile Indians, you will learn about hard times and survival of the fittest. Some of your fellow pioneers will give you the shirt off their back. Others will take yours at gunpoint! Fair play is what you make it. Justice is to be found at the end of a rope or looking down the barrel of a shotgun. An open territory with crisp, clean air awaits you. Let's mount up and get moving. I hear the stage coming now.
