I was watching the old video of Brad, Vinny and Jeff play this just a few days ago. What a banger of a game.

2 minutes in, and you capture something that is a huge piece of making a game feel amazing to that first time player that so many great old games make work. It's not about how many options the game actually has, it's about how many options it FEELS like the game has that first time you play through it.

I played this on my dad's Commodore when I was too young to read, and it was indecipherable to me but I still loved playing it. It was essentially a Skinner Box for me, where my random actions would seem to randomly be successful or game ending. It was like a 1980's Loot Box simulator for me, way ahead of its time.

Loved this game as a kid. Especially memorable was the score by Ed Bogas -- apparently the same Ed Bogas who wrote the background music for a bunch of the 80s Peanuts and Garfield specials. Strangely some of the songs from "Law of the West" were out and out reused in Accolade's "Card Sharks". Also of note, if you didn't have both sides of the disk (as our bootleg copy didn't) and kept hitting the fire button when it asked you to flip the disk, it kept working! The only anomaly was that the new character sprites wouldn't load, and you'd get the wrong dialogue trees for the wrong characters. You'd get a bruiser reading the School Marm's lines, for example, or the very tiny (in the distance) bank robber walking from the side like he was a regular full sized character. Other than that weirdness, it was playable to the end!

Hell yes, as a kid I remember seeing that guy's name pop up on a Garfield special and I was like "Wait, is that the guy who did the music for Hardball on the Apple IIGS?"

I haven’t thought about this game in probably 3 decades but as soon as that music started up I was humming right along. Man I have feels now.

Loved this game back in the day; it’s still one of my go-tos when I fire up the MiSTer c64 core. For 1985, it was a pretty sophisticated game; really made the most of the hardware

I may be wrong, but I bet the stick graves on the score screen are bad guy kills, and the tombstone is the good guy you killed.

It rules that a dialogue & action model made in 1985 still outpaces almost every game made today.

Not sure if it can beat out Red Dead Redemption 1. Which is factually better than Red Dead Redemption 2.
