Outlaws is a first-person shooter released by LucasArts in 1997 using an enhanced version of the Jedi game engine, first seen in Star Wars: Dark Forces. It is one of the very few FPS games with a Wild West setting. CG animation sequences, with special filters to look hand drawn, play between each mission and set up the action in the next area. It is the first video game to feature a sniper zoom.
James Anderson, a retired U.S. Marshal, comes home after a trip to the general store to find his wife Anna dying and his daughter Sarah, kidnapped by two outlaws known as Matt "Dr. Death" Jackson and "Slim" Sam Fulton, under the employ of the evil railroad baron named Bob Graham. Graham has hired several wanted outlaws to "enlighten" the people of the county to sell their land to him, so that he can make money on a huge railway. However, the psychotic Dr. Death misinterprets Graham's meaning of "enlightenment" and kidnaps James Anderson's daughter. After burying his dead wife, the retired Marshal picks up his gun once again and rides off to find his daughter. He travels around the old West, shooting his way through each member of Graham's hired outlaws. - Ігри
Oh the memories! This game was my first ever FPS experience. Me and my cousin used to play this game together at 8 years old. We used the arrow keys to move around and did not understand what they were saying in the game (English 2nd language) at the time but loved it anyways and we used to say "where are you Marshall" to each other until high school as an inside joke 😁 Thank you for the good memories Gggmanlives. I Still have the double CD in a shelve by my desk. If you put the CD in a CD-stereo player it plays the soundtrack for the game ❤
I'm really impressed by the scope. A 1997 game, rendering a separate screenspace, with an overlay, inside of an existing screenspace without any obvious lag.
Marshall from quake has seen better days
scar3crow I believe that this game was actually the first to feature a scope.
It was cool as fuck at the time too.
It definitely was the first FPS with a scope. The next game to use it in a really interesting way was MDK.
omg i remember playing and loving MDK as a kid. i just looked it up... and it looks so bad haha
this is on gog now and it runs like a dream
Damn right, it runs like a dream... an AMERICAN dream... FROM AMERICA! ;)
Noted. Thanks! Game looks amazing.
Really!? Oh my god, I've been occationally searching for somewhere to get it in a proper working version. Played it as a kid and loved it, never found it again in grownup age. Thank you! :)
Totto87 steam has it too, with a few bonus missions
@Henk de Tank you sure? I downloaded it on my 8000$ pc and have no problems
"Don't be a fool, Marshall!"
"Y'er outnumbered!"
Ah the sweet sounds of my childhood!! I love this game.
Damn you! And the horse you road in on!
And when that grey fat guy dies some times he makes this weird death sound that always makes me laugh.
HOOOOOOAHUUUUUUUH!!! lmao!
"Oh meester, I've seen better shooting at the county fair!"
"Ha ha ha! You got a death weesh? Or you really dis stupid?"
"Hey Marshal, has anyone ever told you? You look like Abe Lincoln!"
The bosses had some good taunts. A shame the mooks drowned them out so much.
I loved this game as a kid and I love it now.
" Don't be a fooool Marshall!"
Binding Jump to E by default is just not on though.
Where are ya Marshall!
its a shame when a game like this doesn't get that much recognition because this game is amazing. Even John Romero has stated that it was one of his favorite games.
There were a lot of doom clones at the time. Not every shooter gets to be a king.
5 years since you comented. How is life?
@@toreandrekjeldsand6876 Can't complain :) also 5 years flew by. In that time, both this game and the SoF series have been widely released on GOG/Steam and I'm so goddamn happy about it. I finished SoF 1 and 2 a few months back but I've yet to finish Outlaws. Might do a new playthrough soon.
@@ollymuirs sof? Soldier of fortune?
@@Reallife315 that’s the one
For some reason as a child I obsessed over this game. Like for real, drawing pics of the game and going through a cap-gun slinging western phase. The cut-scenes were like a reward to me and would also listen to the soundtrack.
Poor me, only finished the demo version... It was 2002-03 I believe
Where are you Marshall?
lulz, read this comment EXACTLY at that moment
yeah, I LOVED this game very very much oh man
Marshall Marshall MARSHALL!
I looooved this game as a kid
+PanikGrafik me too
I loved this game as an adult!
We're you really a child once ?
@@15-Peter-20 What an useful comment 5 years after bruh
Ah, yes. It was so western emersive
Where aaaaare youuuuuuu Marshaaaaaall?
My dad is a huge Western nerd and I remember being very small sitting by the computer watching him play this game. It was so much fun to even watch, and sometimes I played it, even though I wasn't that good. Watching this video gave me some serious nostalgia!
This game is on Steam now for $6. TOTALLY worth it. Even in 2019 this game has modern controls, smooth gameplay, and is just all around amazing for how old it is.
Really this should have a remake.
Yeah mostly that the controls and the fact the engine wasn't true 3d was a bit problematic for things like physics even simple ones. And fun fact, that game had "3D scopes" before any other FPS, heh, it deserves a prize just for that.
Other than that it's a fantastic game with a lot of western movie references :)
I don't think that's happening any time soon since LucasArts no longer exists
they would only fuck it up.
Its good as IT is
@@Warhorse469 True
Hey guys if you want to join a group of people who still actively play this game online together (YES, THE MULTIPLAYER STILL WORKS!) then search for Outlaws Players Lucas Arts on Facebook. Some of the original game developers from LucasArts are also in the group! Thumbs up so people can see this :)
YOOO, im only 16 but played this game as a kid ill try to buy it asap and c u there!
Do you still play it? The comment is from 3 years ago...
This channel is such a nostalgia trip for me. I only ever played the demo and I remember this game was hard as fuck.
I can't believe we don't see more first person westerns. There's something so satisfying about shooting revolvers.
We had Red Dead, but that was third person and pretty much every single western shooter HAS to incorporate some bullshit OP "Matrix mode" where you mark a bunch of enemies and shoot them all in a split second. Even Overwatch uses this mechanic!
C'mon guys, just give us a pure shooter without the aim hax.
My uncle played this game when I was a kid and I have fond memories watching him play. Hearing the music and seeing some game play in this video really took me back.
It's been launched on GOG so now there is a way to get it running in Windows 10. That being said id drop 30-60 bucks on an HD re-release
I really love your reviews. I didn't play that many fps growing up because of having no computer during 90s. But i really learn the history and the classics of the genre and what it has grown from. Ty for your reviews and keep up the sick work!
Absolutely loved this game as a child, my dad did too and played it lots as well.
The "where are you Marshall" line stuck with me to this day and I won't ever forget it.
Thanks for the video
Been looking forward to this review since I discovered your channel over half a year ago. Great to see that you got the game running in the end and did a review of it (on my birthday :P) Loved this game, played it all the time with a friend of mine. I think we played through it every other week for 2 years. Soundtrack was awesome. Oh and I think it was the first multiplayer game I played (via the Microsoft Zone or something).
Keep up the good work, love your stuff
Just released on www.gog.com
+drpapa26 Just found out they want me to PAY for it :o
***** But I don't want to pay for it; I want it freeeee :)
Is it easier to run on this version?
+SiliconBong Then your a cheap fuck. lol.
Alexander Dinesen Thanks! I don't usually make mistakes like that.
I remember a UFO-Easter egg in some outhouse maybe?... I wonder if Cowboys & Aliens got the idea from this game =D
^this.
you had to throw some dynamite into a specific outhous.... it confused my young little brain why there are suddenly aliens... with a cow. xD
Yeah it was in the first level of the game. The crack is in a outdoor toilet
I remember this scared me a lot as a kid
+Eduardo Hernández Same here haha
Disgusting deranged smiley. Only total a--holes and perverts use it, I'm sure of this by now. And after all, you "specially" selected it. Just deranged all-around.
Great video, thanks. Outlaws was one of my favorite games back in the day. Thanks for the review.
I noticed recently that Outlaws is on GoG and I got it and it works perfect. Brings me back to being a teen in the '90s.
I have really come to love your channel too.
This looks awesome. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is another bad-ass western FPS. I highly recommend you give it a play if you haven't already.
Did not try the others but this one I really enjoyed! Far from perfect, but man the vibes of this game : the narration, the tight arcade gameplay! Really loved it!
i'v tried it (because i'v seen your message), this is piece of shiet, the engine is unprecise realy strange ghost collision and random physic, unclear enemis, noob friendly (you just can't die even in hard, you don't care about taking shots, life regen realy strong..)
this game is piece of shiet don't even look at it
@@Hellaow I like call of juarez gunslinger too it's an awsome game
When this game came out, I was working tech support for Gateway 2000, in North Sioux City, SD. Around the time of it's release, we started shipping a product called "The Destination". It was a full multimedia machine, designed for home theater applications, with an enormous (at the time) monitor. When it launched, the Destination has its own dedicated support team, and, as it was expensive, there were only a few out there. A co-worker reported that he took a support call from none other than John DeLancie, who voiced the character of "Dr. Death" in the game. When my co-worker was naming off some games that he enjoyed playing, as suggestions for Mr. DeLancie to take advantage of such a system, he asked him if he'd ever heard of a game called "Outlaws". He laughed and admitted that he'd probably heard of it in passing somewhere.
wow this bought back memories of reading the review in Hyper magazine way back when :P
Great video yet again man!
You nailed the review! There was something about the game that created an emotional attachment. Those cut scenes were so cinematic, the levels were varied and purposeful. I'm surprised they haven't released a new version.
"Where are you Marshall ?" - I Never forget
Wow, nostalgia flooding back. I was mesmerized by this game as a kid but had completely forgotten it existed. Thanks!
WOW! Even though it's been nearly 20 years since I've played Outlaws, I can still recognize those maps! Multiplayer was great, too!
Holy shit! I've been looking everywhere for this... I grew up playing this game at LAN parties on multiplayer. I get so nostalgic thinking about it. Need to try and get it to work
Got it on GOG, very nostalgic playing this it was my first FPS I ever played as a kid in late 90's when we finally bought our first computer!
I played this ages ago. It was extremely fun, the music was wonderful and fit the game so well. And the story, while not deep, was fun.
Man this is pure nostalgia, I remember I got the CD-Rom demo of this game on a PC Gamer magazine back in the day (back when they'd give huge portions of games as demos), and have to say betweem this and Dark Forces and Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, these were my favourite PC games. I still remember all the maps, the cheats, etc nearly 25 years later. The 90s was such a great time to be a kid who was into gaming!
By far one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had, this game was a masterpiece. It's what got me started on the FPS genre, Outlaws, Perfect Dark, and Phantasy Star Online are the greatest games ever made, they all deserve an HD remake.
I remember hanging out at Wizards of the Coast when I was a kid playing multiplayer over LAN. Still one of my favorite FPS of all times and still have my box in the closet.
"Where are you Marshall?!" has lived rent free in my head for over 20 years
Creepy
Oh god the nostalgia. Just seeing this brought back some awesome memories of me and my dad playing the crap out of this game. Thanks man ^^
I remember playing the everliving crap out of this. I love it so much. the scope was amazing (picture in picture), the Gattling gun, the alien egg, artstyle, Music... Just every thing. 1 Level was really Hard for my young brain though. the one were you had to collect gears and Put them together. especially considering that I have the english Version.. when I didnt even speak english back then. XD
still have the OST in my USB in my car though and every now and then i Spaghetti them through my Speakers while driving down the road....
2019: people saying red dead 2 is a masterpiece......I disagree...because this old game has more soul and heart than anything released today
Rdr 2 is the best weatern game outlaws is a really good gane with awesome music
Nah, RDR2 has soul, too.
Soul was the least of that game's problems lol
Old thing good new thing bad.
100%
Uenig outlaws va supert men ingen spill slår red dead redemption
This was the game of my childhood, internet gaming zone multiplayer was pretty much dedicated on my comp to Outlaws and DF 2 Jedi Knight deathmatches, ugh I miss them so much. Great to see this game get a little attention.
I remember there were great reviews of this game. Need to install it in the future ;)
Reading through the comments it's so nice to see that not only did other people play this game as a kid (I myself played this at the age of 6) but to see how many others love it to the point where it holds a special place in their heart.
I have absolutely adored this game since I was a kid, and the soundtrack is truly amazing. My favourite is Anna's theme from the cliff level and I too will also hold this game and my experiences and nostalgia close to my heart always.
awesome game! super awesome soundtrack! downloaded it over GOG and had no problem with playing it on my windows x pc. Love to feel back in the 90ies.... loved that game by then. Love it still now - 30 years later :-). Btw. Thanks a lot for this review!
The multiplayer in this game was pretty fun aswell. I played it at LANs as a kid
The 5th level with the water tunnels. The whole damn village was at my place trying to figure that level out. Years later i learned that you can simply shoot the levers that switch the water flow. We used to jump at them while using the activate button to get it right. Took ages to figure it out. Still one of my fav FPS games (and my first).
I grew up on this game. It was one of the first I ever played and the first I ever REALLY played and tried to find every single thing in it. Loved it to death and wish I could get it working properly again. I still have the old physical copy from back in the 90s
Hey gggman they have outlaws now on GOG.com
I had the DEMO of this onmy old windows 98 PC. Many years ago and I loved it.
I had totally forgotten this game, some good memories seeping in while watching.
Man I remember playing this game a kid, whenever I couldn't get far playing the game Killing time, or DOOM. Or even those point and click games, I would come back to this game and just play the hell out of it. I love the soundtrack, and I know a lot of the songs to the point I could mouth-trumpet the songs and whistle along with them.
got the demo of this game when i was young, I replayed it over and over again. absolutely love it, gotta find a way to play it now!
5:30 "But those people who were fortunate enough to play it, will tell you just how good it was". Damn right, partner. LOVED this game, and it wasn't easy at all. And your right on the music too... absolutely masterful pastiche, just hearing those tunes again... think I'ma gonna cry!. A true classic from the truely classic period of video games.
First FPS to include a scope and reloading mechanics.. ever!!.. It's a beautiful game. Super stylish, great story and music. Miss the days of playing this for hours.
I used to play this game when I was 10, this brings back so much memories. I almost teared up at "where are you marshal"
Now that the XL engine has resumed development, we'll finally be able to get a nice updated version of this to play soon (along with Dark Forces, Blood, and Daggerfall).
if the made a 2017 version of this game it would make my childhood so happy. it's one of the best games i played in young age
This was the very first localized game I played. It was completely ported to pt-br, with a superb dub and I remember playing it a lot as a kid. Lots of love for this game.
Remember me and my dad trying to work out this game when i was younger. Great memories! :)
I played a demo of this back in the day and man did I love it. I recently downloaded it and did enjoy the game.
I remember playing this game on my aunt's PC that still had Windows 98 in 2008. It had one of those fat-ass RCT monitors with a white case. It was sure dated, but for post-war Bosnia that was pretty sweet. I remember being stunned by the sheer concept of actually playing a video game. I barely understood any English at that time, but boy was it cool to be a cowboy.
Oh that's cool! I recognize the soundtrack from Thrillville: Off the Rails. A later Lucas Arts game.
One of my all time favourite FPS games while growing up. Outlaws was truly unique
Oh man this game was dope! I remember trying to find it a while back and couldn't get my hands on it - think I maybe found our original but our computer at the time couldn't play it. Any idea where I can find it now?
i remember watching my dad play this game, i completely forgot about it...wow, thanks gman
OMG! I played this game so many times... so many memories... Thx for your vid and the good memories. Have a nice day sir. :)
So Gggman... do you think there is gonna be a Brutal Outlaws.... Im really interested to hear what you think
I was totally addicted to this game in the late 90s and I was in my late thirties back then. I loved the old Clint Eastwood Westerns and this game reminded me of those old movies.
Oh man, I think I played this one as a kid. I barely remember, but the music really stuck with me
I remember playing this back in the day when it first came out, it's one of the first PC games I remember playing.
I loved this game as a kid. Totally forgot about it until now
By far my favorite game ever made. Grew up with this game would pay an extreme amount to see this game again.
That parting paragraph has Big Iron stuck in my head.
Whenever I see a Modelo Commercial and I hear that song (The Ecstatsy of Gold) I start daydreaming of Outlaws!
Growing up it was one of the few games I actually went straight to the store and bought for Windows. Between the dynamite physics and the sniper rifle, it was a long-shot blast to play!
Seriously, I spent weeks doing my own Crysis-styled explosions with the dynamite. I discovered that there was a threshold between where it would do near-neighbor chain reaction explosions and LILO-ordered explosions. I also discovered a nice bug where if you threw dynamite into the room with the final boss, it would reset the cinema scene for each explosion. (I believe they patched it later that year).
how did you manage to do the mission with all the water in it I spent at the time, like 3-4 months trying to figure out that level
I would love to see an updated review for the new GOG release.
I'd buy a HD remake day one. Love this game and it's brilliant soundtrack
i remember spending hours and hours in my local netcafe playing Outlaws on local network with my friends, good times where the third botton on the mouse showed why you needed it. Great game and great memories!
Great times brother😔
I grew up playing this, it was my main FPS as a youngster. Fantastic game.
have you thought about building a retro PC for these types of games? I built a 2000ish PC running Win98 and Win2000 which is great for games like this.
I have some vintage 1990's PC's. Outlaws (1997) has support for the amazing Diamond Monster (MX100 The original) Sound Card that came out in 1997 which supports true 3D sounds based on NASA virtual reality simulator technology with A3D by Aureal Semiconductor.In fact Outlaws came bundled with the first Diamond Monster Sound card.As a vintage PC component they are somewhat hard to obtain.I was lucky enough to have acquired 2 of them on eBay and they can fetch a good price too like around $50 U.S.D.
I think that the later MX200 sound cards would work with this game too but they too are also rare as well
Also there was a 3Dfx patch for Outlaws as well.
The 3Dfx graphic accelerator cards are easier to acquire and less rare.
This game works with a Voodoo 1 type graphics accelerator card like the Diamond Monster 3D card.
I am running Outlaws on a Pentium 200Mhz MMX system with Windows 95 (b) (and with those previous two PC components that I mentioned) which was the most powerful system when this game was released.
Dash I'm in the process of doing so but I have everything except a cpu cooler and its an AMD chip
This is one of the first games I've ever played, I've been looking for it for years ... thanks for the video.🙁❤❤❤❤
Had a chance to play the demo back when it came out...but 2 years ago, I finally played the full game, managed to install it on my Win7 and
play it in Widescreen....
This game's soundtrack really is one of the best for a videogame!
I have the full ost and I still listen to it from time to time...
Trouble to get running properly? I never had issues running it from the original cd's.
I loved this game. The first taste I got was from the demo on a gaming magazine CD, which contained the first level. It's one of those games where the difficulty makes you earn the right to play the next level. Plus if you get frustrated enough, with unfairly being killed by an unseen enemy, you don't feel bad about using the cheats to have some Rambo-esque fun. The gatling gun is awesome for this purpose and the cheats allow you to hand wield what is normally a stationery weapon. I have very fond memories of playing this game and if I can get it working again, I would definitely put some playtime into it...
Well now we know that 84k people have heard of this game so ggg, you're making progress
Loved this game so much when I was a kid. This, and Dark Forces.
"Oh! I'm cold. Hold me." "I'm holdin' ya." James Anderson is cold too, it seems. ICE cold 🤣
Man I loved playing this game! I'm 15 now but I used to play this game on my dad's computer all the time! He still has the original CD's to install the game! I'm never a real fan of game music because I always turn it off but Outlaws music was amazing!
Will you be reviewing the GOG version like you reviewed the Megaton edition of Duke Nukem?
"Wheere aree youuu marshalll?" "WHEREAREYOUMARSHAL!?"
Nice, finally some love for Outlaws, haven't played it in a long time though. I also support the idea of reviewing Strife. You should also try Mortyr 2093-1944, it's an abysmal game, but I'd like to see what you think about it.
loved this game, still have a copy of it somewhere i think..
i love this game so much, 25+ years later ill still replay it
I'm interested in buying this game, but I'm hesitant about it since as you said it's hard to get working. I was wondering if the GOG.com version was any easier to get working.
I had the demo, was flipping brilliant. I used to lock one of the bad guys in the room with the underground room. PS can see the similarities with jedi dark forces 2. Thanks for the video, brings back memories.
Spent a lot of nights playing this with my best friend over dial up modem. Just something about the charm of the Old West, and the crude brilliant perfection of this game; sitting outside the edge of town just waiting to pick each other off with the rifle scope...good, actually great, times
Great review man keep it up.
One of my favorite games growing up. Glad to see it on steam
I used to play this with my brother when I was 6-7. Loved this game.
I so loved this game growing up. And, that soundtrack!
Loved this game, so many memories for me. Thanks for sharing.
