The player searches a Western ghost town for treasure. In addition to the points a player receives when treasures are deposited, bonus points are awarded for doing certain deeds which may or may not be connected to finding treasure.

Series

Ghost Town was next in a series of games developed by Scott Adams. His Adventure line previously produced Adventureland, Pirate Adventure, and Strange Odyssey.[1]
