Outlaws 1997

Is it still worth playing?

LucasArts' 1997 first person shooter for Windows, set in the Wild West, in which a retired Marshal, James Anderson, seeks justice against the gang that killed his wife and kidnapped his daughter. You use American Old West weapons and items: a rifle, a shotgun, dynamite and a revolver, a lantern to light dark areas and a shovel to dig holes in specific places. Knives can stab or be thrown, the rifle can be used as a sniper rifle, and the Gatling gun can traverse from side to side but you cannot move until you stow it. The difficulty levels are Good, Bad and Ugly. On the easier ones you can sustain several bullet wounds with no ill effects, while on Ugly one or two shots can kill you, which forces stealth and cover. The hardest level still forces a different style of play.
