Another version of the game titled Bandido was distributed by Exidy in 1980. The only difference is in the game's cabinet, sporting a different title and a "Cast of Characters" panel naming the girl "Pretty Priscilla", while calling the Sheriff "Our Hero" and showing Wanted signs for the bandit and the condor.

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! had a variation of the game called Wario's Sheriff. It overall was the same as the original arcade game, except that the character Wario replaces the eponymous character (who cameos in the beginning where he is doing his motions in the opening only to be chased off by Wario).
