Synopsis
Outlaw is a 1976 light gun shooter video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for arcades. The game simulates an Old West fast draw duel between the player and the computer. Outlaw was developed under the name Marshall as a direct response to Midway's Gun Fight (1975). Along with Gun Fight, it was among the earliest Western genre-themed video games. Outlaw was released in March 1976. A reviewer in Play Meter compared Outlaw to another Atari arcade release Quiz Show (1976) finding Outlaw to be superior. A retrospective review from Steve Fulton writing for Gamasutra (now Game Developer) said the game felt dated in comparison to the similarly themed Gun Fight. Atari would later publish two other different Western-themed games titled Outlaw which featured different styles of gameplay: Outlaw for the Atari 2600 and Outlaw for iPhone and iPad.
