Outlaws (1997 Video Game) - Post-release Life

Post-release Life

In 1997, LucasArts released a patch (update 1.1) to add Glide and Aureal A3D, and another one to add Direct3D compatibility to the game in 2001, complementing the existing software rendering support. Shortly after the initial release a small official expansion pack called Handful of Missions was released for free. It added several singleplayer missions as well as multiplayer maps and updated the game to version 2.0.

In spite of there being no plans of a sequel, the game is still supported by a dedicated, though small, fanbase. A few websites still serve up new levels that are still being created to this date.

A less popular game, The Outlaws Mod for Half-Life, also exists. The Half-Life port of the classic game of Outlaws never caught on, but like the game it was based on, there also exists a cult-like following.

Outlaws is listed as one of noted game designer John Romero's all time favourite games.

Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Judgments, value judgments concerning life, whether for or against it, can in the end never be true: their only value is as symptoms, they only come into consideration as symptoms—in themselves such judgments are stupidities. We must reach out and attempt to put our finger on this astonishing finesse, that the value of life cannot be assessed.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
