How the game works - Basics

Here is some basics about how the game work, how to make points and how the score's system works. 

Section:		1st ) Carson city : 2 levels + 1 Boss
			2nd) Desolation Canyon : 2 levels + 1 Boss
			3rd) Ammunition Depot : 2 levels + 1 Boss
			4th) Gold Mine : 2 levels + 1 Boss
			5th) Train: 2 levels + 2 Boss
			6th) Kid's lair: 3 levels + The Boss

Notice that you can choose the order between the 2nd and the 5th.
			
Scoring:

	Items:	- Gold Bag : 		500pts
			- Brown nugget : 	1000 pts
			- Blue nugget:		1500pts
			- Red nugget		5000pts

	Combo:	If you kill several enemies in a row, you multiply your score (the score from this kill) by 2, than 3
			untill a maximum of 5x. BUT you have not to move, never stop shooting, never using the rope.
			The combo is the key to make a huge score !

	Stage:	Every single part of the set that you can destroyed gives between 10 to 100 pts

	Enemies:	Some enemies worth 100pts some more. The mini boss worth usually 1k to 1.5k.

	Time:	Most enemies decrease the second remaining when they are killed.

	Bonus stage:	There are two bonus games during the entire game. They take place after the second and after the  
				fourth section.

	End of section:	After each section, the game gives you some extra points:

				- Bonus from the stage
				- Items you've collected x 500

	Death:		When you die the game doesn't withdraw any points from your score. BUT at the end of the section
				you loose all the items you had collected before your death !

	Extra life:		- Every 100 000pts you get an extra life
				- The screen cannot displayed more than 9 lifes. BUT there are counted anyway.
				- At the end of the last section, every extra life will be added for 100 000pts each.

	Bonus Rank:	At the end of the game (last section), the game add a bonus to your score. Depending of the game level:	
		- Easy mode: 500'000pts
		- Normal mode: 700'000pts
		- Hard mode: 1'000'000pts


This is from my knowledge of the game. It is not exhaustive. And if someone discover some others things. He is welcome to add his knowledge.
