About Billy Frontier

Billy Frontier is an arcade style action game with a “cowboys in space” theme. You get to fight in duels, shootouts and stampedes. It’s the kind of game you’ll want to pick up and play whenever you get that twitch to just shoot something and blow stuff up!

Billy Frontier was released for PowerPC Macs in 2003. This is a port of the game to modern operating systems.
