01:13This remaster stays faithful to its roots.
01:16Environments retain their handcrafted painted textures, now rendered in crisp clarity.
01:23Character sprites are smoother, movement-fluid, and input latency tightened for modern controls.
01:29From dusty saloons to canyon hideouts, every corner of Outlaws' world carries the look of an animated western drawn straight from the pages of a vintage comic book.
01:40The restoration work keeps the original Jedi engine feel intact, but once flawlessly on modern PCs and current hardware through Night Dive Studios' Kex engine.
01:51Few shooters sound this authentic.
01:54The iconic score by Clint Bajikin has been remastered by its highest fidelity, sweeping orchestral arrangements mixed with the lonesome strum of the frontier.

02:07Draw your gun, and the tempo rises.

02:17Timeless, and now crystal clear.
02:20The collection includes a full Outlaws campaign, and the expansion of a handful of missions.
02:25Five bonus levels filled with new challenges, landscapes, and notorious gunslingers.

03:00Quickdraw duels test reflexes.

03:07Exploration reveals hidden ammo caches, secret rooms, and reward for players who think like lawman instead of a gunslinger.
03:16Levels are open-ended, letting you choose your route through dusty towns, rail yards, and mining camps,
03:21all tied together with voice lines that echo across the canyon walls.
03:27The remaster features support for modern resolutions, adjustable FOV, mouse smoothing options, and full controller compatibility.
03:36The KEX engine keeps load times minimal and removes the need for DOSBox or legacy emulators.
