The Adventures of Bayou Billy
The Adventures of Bayou Billy is an action game published by Konami in 1989 for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America. It is a remastered version of the 1988 family computer game Mad City. The game uses different game styles that were popular at that time, such as beat-'em-up, shooting and racing. Most of the game is a beat-'em-up, in which the character (Billy) must fight each enemy he encounters in melee combat to get from one area to the next until he reaches the end of each stage before his health runs out. Billy's basic attacks consist of a punch, a kick and a jump kick, which he carries out by pressing the A and B keys simultaneously. The player can also equip Billy with one of three melee weapons dropped by certain enemies: a throwing knife, a club and a whip.
Story
Billy West, also known as Bayou Billy, is a Crocodile Dundee-like survivalist, vigilante and former U.S. soldier from New Orleans who fought local crime boss Godfather Gordon. In retaliation for interfering with his bootlegging operations, Gordon kidnaps Billy's girlfriend Annabelle Lane to lure Billy into a final battle. Billy's search for Annabelle consists of nine stages that take him from the swamps to Bourbon Street, where he battles Gordon's henchmen and finally arrives at Gordon's estate, where he confronts the Big Boss himself.
