Is it still worth playing?

You control up to six characters in this real time tactics game for Windows, set in the Old West. John Cooper, a knife-fighter and gunslinger, sets out to capture a train robber known as El Diablo and claim the bounty, helped by five companions. A top-down stealth game, it lets the player deal with enemies in many ways, such as John's knife throwing, Sam's snake and Doc's knockout gas. A spyglass shows an enemy's field of vision as a cone: green for calm, yellow for suspicion and red for spotted. Quick Action pre-programs actions so they can be called at once, such as sending all three revolver shots at one opponent. Players who like to plan a Western heist themselves will find that it still holds up today.
