One of the writers for this game, Matthew Jacobs was actually a professor of mine in a college writing class. Such an awesome man.

Great game! The main villain is voiced by Bull from Night Court and Two-Face. Want to see Matt play this till the end. Most awesome part: you spare one of the men who killed your wife until he's dumb enough to mention her as you're walking away. The change of the MC's face is priceless.

The alien secret in the first level scared the hell out me the first time I discovered it.

Outlaws came out in 1997, only a few months before Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight came out the same year. It used the same engine that was used for the original Dark Forces, with the addition of some cool engine and gameplay features Dark Forces didn't have. Blood, Shadow Warrior, Quake II, Hexen II, and Interstate '76 also came out during 1997. It was quite a year for FPS games. Doom came out in 1993 and Doom II came out in 1994. As for that box you tried to go through to get the key, you were supposed to press the "Use" key on it so you could push it. To use the dynamite, you're supposed to press the alt fire button first to ignite it, and then press primary attack to throw it. I know it's awkward, but that's how the game works. You can also sign those ledgers at the undertaker's: you just need to find the pen (I forget where it is in the level), and then use the pen on the ledgers. The boss you killed at the end of the level is one of the thugs who work for the villain that kidnapped your daughter. "Spittin'" Sanchez is his name, I gather. The bosses are kind of like the gunslinger equivalents of the Seven Dark Jedi from Dark Forces II, except they're far more easier to kill. It's possible for you to complete the whole level without ending it too soon: you just need to avoid shooting Sanchez until you've done everything you want to do in the level before you want to end it. Killing Sanchez automatically ends the level. So long as you don't shoot Sanchez too soon, you can get every key and item, find every secret, open every locked door, and shoot every enemy before ending the level. Outlaws is definitely one of the best Western games I've played. Two other great Western games which I think deserve comparison with Outlaws are Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath and Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive.

This is probably going to come off as too "boomer-shooter" of me to say, but I still regard this as my absolute favorite Western-themed FPS. Probably due to the Spaghetti Western aesthetics and soundtrack, along with the weapons feeling like they have actual impact in the game! And the story is wonderfully simple in the Old West good vs. bad kind of way! Dig "Outlaws" a TON!

Clive Barker's Undying is an amazing horror FPS that has cool alternative vision mechanic and FLAMING SKULLS as a weapon. One of my favorite games of all time

Fun fact: They had couches way back in Ancient Rome! Couches more comfortable than sitting on a pile of sharp rocks, though? Those probably weren’t invented till at least the 1960s.

YESS!!!! I love this game! Jon De Lancie voiced one of the bad guys!!!! Also this was one of the first FPSes where shooting a bad guy ina certain spot like the head, would cause more damage. That's why some enemies tend to be larger.

You missed the secret area in the grey wooden barn in the first level haha :) Such a great game, really loved it as a kid and still do. Would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in FPS Western shooters.

Wow. I played the HELL out of this when it came out lo those many moons ago. This is another child of the famous "Build Engine" that also gave us Dark Forces and (maybe) Jedi Knight. Those Lucasarts shooters were the jam, just like everything else they did back then. This was also the very first game I remember where guns had ammo capacity and you had to reload them. Previously ammo was just a big pile, so if you had a hundred shotgun shells you could shoot it a hundred times in a row as fast as you could pull the trigger. Man, these graphics seemed a lot cooler 25+ years ago...

I can't believe the odds of this. I was telling my friends about this game the other day and played it last night. What a blast!

Doctor looks like he came from Gotham. Looks like Dr Hugo Strange

There is another game you should play called Western Outlaw: Wanted Dead or Alive, it was so bad it was good. I still dig it out and play through it ever so often!

I can’t tell you how many times I played this when it first came out. In one of the levels, there is a Sam & Max Easter egg that’s really cool.

Finally, someone is talking about this awesome game. The cutscenes are legendary

What a blast from the past! I remember playing this with my brothers when I was a kid

Lucasarts?…Lucasarts…now THAT’S a name I’ve not heard in a long time…a long time… This was a standout during the Doom/Quake era of FPS clones, having a compelling story with a backdrop uncommon for the time. Shame this will never get a sequel or even a remaster.

I remember playing this game with my dad on our old IBM computer when I was a little kid. I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes old school Doom shooters as it does have a lot charm and character and can be pretty challenging even on normal difficulty.

holy crap, one of my fav games. "you're outnumbered, marshall!"

"Don't be a fool, Marshal!"

Love the Scrubs clip added. Pretty sneaky...

I swear my dad brought home a demo of this game when I was like idk, 9? The ammo counter and health just looks super familiar, the intro cutscene doesn't which is why I'm assuming it was a demo or like the first level share-ware. Edit - yeah yeah yeah this was totally it, I remember the underwater bit in the well. Holy shit.

This is cool to see! I wish I've played more cool stuff like this

I know this might be a little random. But there was a Western arcade shooter (like Time Crisis) that I played on the PS1, called Gunfighter: The Legend of Jesse James. It's honestly real fun and a good game. Yet I near NO ONE talking about it, at all.

Ohhhh man the nostalgia is real

Good to see the Monkey Island 2 Easter egg with Stan's used coffins.

Love the B99 clip. Pimento is great.

I just bought this game on a whim on Steam, ended up having an absolute blast. Especially with the absurdly good music.

Everyone's favorite Demigod, Q (aka John de Lancie) voices Doctor Death in this in a delightfully menacing way.

"Please, sign our infernal guest book." Probably, you can find the name of Caleb from "Blood" inside it.

Yo! One of my all-time favorite games. My Dad and I played through it together.

OMG!!!THIS GAME WAS AMAZING GROWING UP!!! my 2nd pc game I gotten.

Fucking loved this game as a youngin

I'm pretty sure I played the demo of this repeatedly, from a demo disc off an old PC Gamer. Was a lot of fun based on that alone.

Call of Juarez Gunslinger, fucking love that game

An awesome game from my childhood! One of the very first computer games my dad introduced me to back in the day, in fact. I used to love messing around with the cheat codes and flying around the outside of the train level. I find Outlaws has aged very well, and is still every bit as fun as it was in '97. Good times.

It's funny, Matt, the guy's sick!

Loved this and Jedi Knight!

Man this was a nostalgia trip. My dad and I loved playing this game

The fuck you mean "any more" I WANT MORE OF THIS

I loved this game we i was a kid, but only had a demo version i played for years. Never seen any of the cutscenes so 🤩

i love this game

I played this game before I played DooM or AoE2 or any other nostalgic game from my childhood (except wolfenstein 3D) .

I remember I had a demo of this as a kid and always wanted to try out the full game but never did because I was like six or seven and scatterbrained

I too am looking forward to evil west. Now if only we could get a Darkwatch reboot.

12:35 So This is the great great grandson of the guy from the Secret of Monkey Island? Or just another guy called Stan?

the "rugrats" voice was totally kath soucie!

This must be played on a CRT.

Matt, would love to see you play some Chex Quest

A video that is headlined after a Frank Reynolds quote. Nice.

Loved watching this! A game I've been playing lately that I'm surprised hasn't shown up here though is DUSK, would love to see/hear your thoughts on it.

This game is cool and the main character got arms for days

America here. That’s a shotgun Mathew.

iirc the outhouse in the first level leads to a easter egg...but you need to use cheats to get the dynamites as there isn't any in the level

What a great thumbnail holy shit.

I like the It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia reference!

"You stay in the barrel till the music happens!" Lol. What's the clip from? I couldn't find it

Is that Hugo Strange?

For some reason, the cutscenes bring a terrible sensation of wrongness everytime they popup. It's instinctive. I wonder why they went with such art direction.

Oh god why am I seeing Chris Kenny in your intro

I want red dead redemption 1 in pc. A boy can dream.

Not his family family family

Didn't the romans invented the couch?! P.s. Yeeeeehhhaaaa! I played this on my first PC back then! Loved the artstyle and the awesome music! And It's one of the few games from back then I still own today!

only thing i khow about this one is that brazilian voice acting was decent

My names not Jane kid.

Play some Postal 2.

RDR2 at home...
