Get ready to be reunited with Old Shatterhand and Winnetou, Sam Hawkins and many other characters of the Wild West. Immerse yourself in a nostalgic world full of adventure, hostility, and friendship. Here, good and evil are clearly defined, tolerance and justice are fought for, and things end with Winnetou’s silver rifle being exchanged for a peace pipe. How!
