Overview
A stagecoach robbery sends the player through a series of tile-based mazes broken by one missing piece. The character walks ahead automatically, so the player must keep the path connected and steer it toward the hidden money bags before time runs out. Later rounds add Black Bart as a roving threat, with a collected star providing brief protection.
02
Why it matters
The Intellivision entry pairs a classic sliding-tile maze format with a Western setting, giving the system a strategy-focused counterpoint to its action titles. It also sits beside a well-known 1982 Konami arcade maze game, illustrating how quickly home developers adapted popular arcade concepts.
03
The physical edition
A typical complete Intellivision cartridge copy includes the cartridge, an outer box, and accompanying paper materials. Regional editions and print runs can differ in packaging, inserts, and box contents, so inspect any specific item rather than assuming it matches another region's release.

Playing it today
Original Intellivision hardware is the most straightforward way to play, and the game runs as a standard cartridge title. Emulation offers a convenient alternative, though the experience of the original console and its controller should be verified against the specific copy you own.
