I guess I was like Spoony and totally did not have the patience for this game. The hit detection was incredibly broken for real and it was hard as fuck. So I agree with him on this 100% infact I bought this game off eBay for one cent just because I wanted to hands on try and play this game on a real NES in the early 2000's since it had eluded me and it was at that time I was interested in playing bad games too it seems though I never started a video series of mine own about that lol I also was posting on Gamefaqs and found out about a bunch of bad games I missed and still do a little though much less haha anyways this game kicked my ass bad.

The thing I always say though is that if you got good at this game, I just don't know why you would even bother because I think Konami themselves realized that they put out a somewhat shoddy game and took their three games in one approached and improved it in every single way for their follow-up game named “The Lone Ranger.” This game was still hard as hell, but it wasn't because the gameplay was broken it was just super challenging. If you actually like Bayou Billy for some reason, check out the Lone Ranger for the NES :) I had that game as a kid and I thought it was freaking awesome, but it was way difficult haha I used passwords to try some of the later levels and I could not get far in them.

For driving areas SLOW DOWN! You don’t have to drive at top speed all the time.
To fight guys with guns use a dodge move. Each time they shoot move up or down then forward. When your close enough they stop shooting and switch to hand to hand. Keep using the hit and run attack till they die don’t use the bullets on them. Guys with whips, you’ll have to jump kick your to them till they are in range of your kick then hit and run and collect that whip. When you have the whip your golden. The last Boss are a pair of cyborgs one blue one red. They have a long reach and will always try to surround you and throw. You’ll have to change up the hit and run attack. Get them to chase in a circle around the screen and occasionally throw a punch while your moving up or down then keep running. Don’t kick or they counter. When you punch they try to close in to throw you. Use this to your advantage and run after a punch. These method takes a LOONG time but you’ll beat them eventually.

I beat this game when it first came out. I took me two weekends of renting it.
Your not supposed to stand there and exchange punches with the bad guys. The enemies don’t get stunned like they do in Double Dragon. Use your kick to hit one then move up or down when he moves to level with you hit him again then move up or down. Only use the drop kick when they surround so you can escape and get them on one side. Get a stick or whip as soon as you can they longer range and do more damage use the same hit and run strategy I mentioned above. Save your bullets for bosses, if they bounce off then hit & run till their bullet proof vest falls off, pick it up then shoot the shit out of them. Fighting gators is a battle of endurance keep punching till they drop a stick. Then drop kick your way to the stick and get back on land. The stick can reach gators from land.

This was the first video of Spoony’s I ever watched and became a fan of his because I generally had the same feelings about this game as he did. I also loved how he did that little jig while he was playing it because the soundtrack was so funky. Definitely one of my all time favorite game reviews.

At the time I found the Bayou Billy review, Spoony had just reviewed ET.

This was what started the man, the myth, the legend…the Spoony.

I never played this game much when it was new because it seemed too boring. Punching out one guy for that long just becomes tedious too fast. It’s not much different than slogging through Final Fight 2.
