Outlaws (C64)

Another title by Ultimate: Play The Game (who would later go on to become Rare of Golden Eye/Donkey Kong Country fame), this time with a more arcade feel to it based on the wild west.

Not their best title, but it's reasonably playable apart from needing steroid-induced reactions in the final town section.

The game is played across 3 stages each involving gunning down outlaws whilst avoiding being shot or thrown off your horse. The final stage involves hunting down outlaws in the town without killing the innocent bystanders.

I love how everyone colour coordinates their teeth/hair with their clothes - black hat = black teeth!

The game essentially loops after the third stage and simply adds a larger number of bad guys in the town to kill. You get the picture...
