The Life

Of A

Gunman

The Life

of a

Gunman

Welcome, new gunman, to the outer fringes of the

civilized and settled galaxy. Just like the marshals of

Earth’s Old West, gunmen represent the law and order

in these often chaotic locales.

As part of your job, you deal with smugglers, bandits,

and even an occasional Xenome. However, you are

armed with the latest and most powerful weapons. You

have also received the most rigorous training in the

galaxy. You are trained not only to fight, but also to

survive in a variety of hostile climates.

The gunmen are an elite group of soldiers.

No matter how proficient a gunman you are, it is important to stay in prime condition and con-

tinually refresh your former training. Now let’s get started.

Setting Up for a New Assignment

Before leaving the Gunman base for an assignment, take some time to personalize your game.

Game Difficulty

When you start a new game, you must choose a

difficulty level. Gunman Chronicles offers three levels

of difficulty—easy, medium, and difficult.

Unlike many games, changing the difficulty level in

Gunman Chronicles does not change the story line or

the game itself. Whether on easy or difficult, you tra-

verse the same maps and terrain. You find the same

items and enemies in the same locations. The number

of enemies you encounter remains the same on all diffi-

culties—and on all difficulties, the enemies you face in

Selecting the difficulty level is the first choice

you must make when beginning a game.
