This western shooter uses the Dark Forces
engine. Marshall James Anderson had been a great gunfighter. He had
worn the badge of the law and put men to death or to jail. But now
he's retired; he got himself a wife, a daughter, and some land. The
Gentleman, Bob Graham, has other plans for James Anderson's plot of
land however. It sits right along some prime real estate for where
the railroad is going to go, and whomever could own that land might
be able to get rich setting up a town. So Bob, he's hired himself up
some of the roughest and toughest ruffians west of the Mississippi to
try and "persuade" Anderson and the other land-owners to sell or
abandon their lands. James Anderson returns home from town one day
to find his homestead aflame, his wife killed and his young'in abducted
by the badguys. Not willing to trust in the fates, Anderson dusts off
his six-shooter, digs up his buried shotgun and dons his old tin star.
He's about to follow the trail of these men across deserts and valleys...
until he finds his daughter. There are atmospheric cutscenes between levels,
reloading your
gun is important and the unusual western ambience provides for a fun
game. The opponents are silly (as they were also in Dark Forces). For
such a big company like LucasArts, it's disappointing that such an outdated
engine was used, even if it supported now rather high resolutions. There
is a Direct3D patch that lets the game use slightly higher resolution and
improved textures, as well as improved overall performance.
