Colorado

Complete Solution:

The Winnemucca Forest

Starting from the canoe, head east into the next screen. Load your gun and shoot the Iroquois that makes his way towards you, and then continue east and enter the forest. At the crossroads take the upper trail and head back west. When you arrive at the screen with the archer, go behind the trees to avoid his arrows and then use the knife or hatchet to dispose of him.

In the next screen you will come up against the Iroquois chief. Use the hatchet to kill him, and then take the necklace and skin. Return to the last crossroads and climb the mountain, being careful not to fall off the edge (it's advisable for you to save the game at the peak). Pick up the nuggets at the top of the mountain, and then climb all the way back down and return to the first crossroads. Go east from the crossroads until you come across another archer. To kill him, hide in the first recess and cause him to shoot an arrow by moving diagonally backwards and forwards, then place yourself in his line of sight, make a jump and take cover in the second recess. Cause the archer to fire another arrow and then use the knife or hatchet to kill him. Be careful of the jump in the next screen, and then carry straight on.

Mac Biggle

Swap the nuggets, skin and necklace with him, and if necessary, drink a potion. Now continue walking east and climb to the end of the blind alley.

The Canyon of Death

Climb up, avoid the Apaches and then continue east; take care at the jump. On the other side you will be attacked by two Apaches. Use the gun to dispose of these two, and then save the game. Continue on the lower road until you get to the next screen. As soon as you enter, move into the recess and reload your gun. Fool the archer into firing at you, then move back out of the recess and shoot him and walk east. Kill the Apache you come across with either the knife or hatchet. Do the same in the next screen, and then walk east again. Yet again, take care of the two, jump, and after you have reached the other side, reload the gun.

Use the gun as soon as you enter the next screen, and the use the ax or knife to get rid of the Apache chief. Change the powder horn (freeing one icon), pick up the necklace and the peace pipe. Return to the fork and take the staircase. At the top of the stairs, reload the gun. As soon as you arrive in the next screen, use the gun. Reload the gun once more, shoot the next Apache you come across, and then use the ax or knife to finish him off.

Music

Drop the peace pipe in front of the Hopi chief and swap it for the silver bullet. Return to the first room in the canyon, make two left turns and pick up the nuggets, then return to the forest.

Mac Biggle

Trade the nuggets and the necklaces, drink a potion and return to the canoe.

Big Bear Forest

Take a right turn twice and then prepare to fight the first of the big bears. There are three methods that can be used but the best way is third method. Firstly, you can kill the bear with a stick of dynamite and one bullet; Secondly, you can use one complete powder charge; Lastly is to fight him with the knife.

After you have defeated the bear, go right for two passages, take the passage at the back to save the game, and then return to the second passage (in front of the tree on the right) and cross the field of rabbits. When you fight the wolf the best thing to do is to hit it immediately with a low blow from the ax, otherwise you will have to go back a pace in order to let the wolf pass in front of you so you can give it a low blow with the ax or you can simply avoid it by not moving in a straight line. Continue right, and pick up the nugget.

The Gang Down the Mine

Throw the dynamite into the pile of rocks, then reload your gun and shoot the miner. Now select the knife or ax and strike at the miner who will then run away. Start moving right and when you get to the blind alley, kill the miner you find there. Follow Huck through the mine where a passage will open up (n.b. if there is a tree icon, you can pick up a nugget in the room to the right of the secret passage room). Take this passage and at the first fork take the trail at the back. Go over a jump and at the second fork take the door at the bottom. Reload the gun, shoot the miner and then finish him off.

Go to the second fork and take the door at the back, reload the gun, and upon entering the room, take a few steps forward and shelter in the recess. Make the Old Timer shoot, then use the gun in the low position to deal with him.

Take, and then read the parchment (drop it afterwards). Go right and throw the dynamite into the pile of rocks, then go to the peak where you can save.

Return to the first fork and go through the lower door. Kill the miner with the gun, knife or ax. In the next room advance gradually, and when you hear the wagon, take a diagonal step into the recess (pick up the nugget if the icon is available), and then carry on right and kill the miner. Continue right and you will come across the head of the miners. If you still have some dynamite left use it on him, otherwise use the gun and knife or ax. Pick up the large nugget and return to the forest, and to the canoe.

In Cheyenne Country

Go right twice, and jump over the fire, then turn right. Pick up the skin (if the icon is not available, put down the object, pick up water skin, swap it at Biggle's store for gunpowder, change the powder horn, pick up object you put down). Take the upper road at the first fork.

Mac Biggle

Swap the nuggets and the big nugget. Right, second fork: take the one at the back behind the tents. Make sign of peace to the medicine man, then find out what the parchment says. Go back to the first fork, take the lower road in front of the tent. Fight the giant in the same way as you did the bear. Go right, make the sign of peace to Chief Two Moons, find out what the parchment says, and return to the canoe.

Terror in the Woods

Move right four times. Kill an Indian, right, Mac Biggle, kill the chief, and take the necklace and skin.

Mac Biggle

Swap the necklace and skin. The silver bullet and potions can be left there. The powder horn can be swapped and you can drink a potion. Return to the third room in the forest and take the passage at the back to the right of the rock. Climb the mountain and fight the Indian (you can avoid him but be careful of the sheer drop). Archer in the next room: reload the gun beforehand, crouch down on entering, cause the archer to shoot an arrow with standing/crouching action, then use the gun. Jump and then right.

The Medallion of Courage

Return to Chief Two Moons and put down the papoose. Recover the medallion. Take canoe at the beginning of the camp go back to the forest. Move back up the mountain. Save in the cave and leave the cave by the right. Keep on going right killing all animals you encounter.

Two Moon's Son

At the foot of the peak, save and then climb the mountainside to the level of the sticks. Climb and at the top fight the condor. Take the papoose. Return to the mine and return to the cave using the lift. Go back down the mountain, pick up the silver bullet you had put down. In the second room in the forest, use the passage behind the large bush. Left, reload the gun and kill the Indian using either of your weapons. Right, jump, right.

In the Kingdom of the Dead

Save again. Passage behind the burial place on the right. Note the contents of the parchment, go right, pass in front again and to the right. Kill two wolves, right. To kill the lone wolf, load the gun with the silver bullet, take two steps to the right then use the gun, shooting low. Because you have the medallion you will not be hurt by the Great Spirit. Take the canoe.

Powhatan's cave

Save your position. Take the right blind alley and climb at the bottom. If you take the right, kill the bear with the dynamite and the gun or in the traditional way. Return to the left and choose the barrel on the extreme left (move back to avoid the blast of the explosion). The Passage of the Great Cross is open. Left and take the lift. Return to the mine. Go back to the fork then go to the back to return to the peak.

Pocahontas' gold mine

Right, place the medallion in front of chief, the passage open, and that's it, you've completed Colorado! The End!
