Description

Players assume the role of a new Sheriff of Cactus Canyon. The goal is to survive many confrontations with the bad guys, save the damsel in distress that is tied to the tracks, seek a fortune in a gold mine and help the citizens during a stampede.[2]

The table include 2 flippers, 2 pop bumpers, 4 popup "bad guy" drop targets.[3] The Bart Brother figure moves and taunts players.[2]

It is the WPC machine with the shortest production run as the production stopped to start with the new Pinball 2000 generation.[3] Although fully playable, the software has never been finished.[4] The game uses the DCS Sound System.[2]

An "extended edition" of the game was later released, with the software now complete and having extra features added to it; this also adds to the number of challenges (i.e., there are now three damsel in distress challenges, not just one).[5]

Digital version

WMS license expiration on June 30, 2018 made Cactus Canyon no longer available for purchase as a licensed table of The Pinball Arcade for any platform.
