Outlaw Commodore 64 game

Yee-Ha!

Outlaw represents a fantastic continuation of Ultimate's innovative approach, following their previous hit, Imhotep. Ultimate is clearly committed to broadening their horizons by exploring different game genres from external sources. The adventure begins in the picturesque desert, where you'll encounter beautifully drawn, sun-soaked landscapes adorned with cacti. Here, you engage in exhilarating shootouts with five mounted desperados. The game's controls are top-notch, allowing your trusty horse to walk, trot, gallop, and gracefully leap over obstacles while you expertly aim and fire in all directions.

Once you've dealt with these outlaws, you can venture into town, where additional adversaries make brief appearances at windows and doors, both at ground level and above. This requires swift and precise diagonal joystick maneuvers, adding to the excitement.

As you progress, the challenges become even more thrilling, with vultures, Indians, rocks, arrows, and other surprises keeping you on your toes as you explore increasingly wild territories. While the sound effects may not be groundbreaking, they certainly do the job, featuring realistic ricocheting gunfire and more. Plus, there's the added fun of earning bonus points for hitting particularly tricky targets.

In conclusion, Outlaw is an exhilarating shoot-'em-up that offers an enjoyable gaming experience. While it might bring a slightly different flavor compared to some of Ultimate's previous titles, it's a must-try for anyone looking for a fresh and exciting adventure.
