Notes: Japanese Famicom instruction booklet, HVC-HA; the back cover prints Nintendo's Kyoto address and "©Nintendo 1984" (the OCR reads "⑥MNiniendo 1984"). The item dates it 1984-06-12, the uploader's release date, which the booklet does not print. The pinned copy is the item's searchable PDF, one page per PDF page: printed page n is on PDF page n + 2 (p. 8 on PDF p. 10, p. 13 on PDF p. 15). The text layer spaces out Japanese tokens and misreads some kanji; notes on the claims give the readings.

Nintendo's Famicom booklet explains the title: a hogan's alley is one of the American police's methods of shooting training, in which the trainee judges the figure on each panel at a glance and shoots only the gangsters with guns, within a set time.	`p. 8 (PDF p. 10), 5. 遊び方p. 8 (PDF p. 10), 5. 遊び方p. 8 (PDF p. 10), 5. 遊び方p. 8 (PDF p. 10), 5. 遊び方`	Manual
In Games A and B the targets are panels with people drawn on them. Three are gangsters, to be shot as fast as possible; the lady, the professor, and the policeman must not be shot. Each gangster is worth a different score; the booklet's picture gives Gangster A 500 points, Gangster B 1,000, and Gangster C 2,000.	`p. 8 (PDF p. 10), 5. 遊び方`	Manual
The Famicom booklet adds a line the North American one lacks for Game C, that a can knocked off the top of the screen does not come back down.	`p. 12 (PDF p. 14), GAME C (トリック射撃)`	Manual
