Talk:Outlaws (1997 video game)
Anyone home?
editWhat? No one is here? Ok. can someone please tell where i can find it on MSN?? Elncid (talk) 08:44, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't understand the question, but Outlaws is an old game, so it's doubtful MSN would have any info. -mattbuck (Talk) 10:05, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- In the article it says I can find the game on the MSN Gaming Zone. So, me being new I was wondering how I can find it on MSN Zone, 'coz I tried it and it turned up nothing. Elncid (talk) 18:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
You might try ebay. I do however believe quake1 (ctf) was the first posse/gang game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allochtoon (talk • contribs) 09:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, i starting to think it dosn't, the 3D environment feels more like duke nukem than doom, bit i think of anythin that definately needs voxels --Kitten (talk) 09:35, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Definitely no voxels. - Richfife (talk) 23:06, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Outlaws Game can be found at The War Zone http://www.ewarzone.com/ And all the maps and files can be found at http://theoutlawdad.com We are still keeping the game alive and new levels are still being sent in and posted I have posted. New levels came in today 4/25/2009 and will be posted tomorrow after they have been tested. So what you read on the front page about the games levels being posted thu 2008 is wrong.

Outlaws (1997 video game) → Outlaws (1997 PC game) — PC games and video games are different as Video games require video game consoles while PC games just the PC, computer games have and are even sold seperate from video games. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:34, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, if you check here, you'll see that "Video Game" is a blanket term that covers PC Games and Console Games. What you think of as a video game is actually called a console game. Also, since many games exist on both PC and Consoles, the distinction becomes really hard to maintain. Anyway, I'm going to create a redirect so both titles work. - Richfife (talk) 17:36, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose; "video game" is the usual disambiguator for both console and PC games. Powers T 00:17, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- Outlaws was never sold as a video game though, unlike video games PC games are restricted to the PC as the only console. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:35, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- That's only true if you use a very idiosyncratic definition of the phrase "video game". Check out the lede of our article: "A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device." That applies to everything from Pong to Mario Bros. to World of Warcraft. Powers T 14:43, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Infobox
editIn the Infobox, the "Platform(s)" field specifies "PC". I think that the "Platform(s)" field should specify a value or values from the " Supported platforms" section of the Vgclegend template. For example, if Outlaws (1997 video game) only runs on MS-DOS, then Outlaws (1997 video game)'s Infobox should specify "DOS" in the "Platform(s)" field. ProResearcher (talk) 14:19, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Molycoat
editI feel the source for the zipped maps should be used as Molycoat was the one who created them up until the end. If you download any of those files, and have the game Outlaws then you can play the maps. There was a dedicated platform for those who continued to play outlaws from around 2002 to 2012 called "Warzone". At the very least it should be included as an external link along with Paleface as these are the only ways people can play the extended levels. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:13, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- It's been the standard not to include any sort of mod downloads or to showcase mods unless they have coverage from reliable media. per Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources#Fansites these typically have no editorial oversight, and are often self-published sources. Additionally WP:ELNO states to exclude "Blogs, personal web pages and most fansites (negative ones included), except those written by a recognized authority." It's annoying, but I want to get this article to GAN, and it won't pass with that. A quick Google search of Outlaws custom maps covers what people need, so they can still find the content. If you disagree I suggest we consult Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games to get more opinions. --Teancum (talk) 18:29, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- Okay exclude it, the link doesn't lead to a personal blog though or the like. The only content there are useful maps that people can download which cant be accessed anymore by a straightforward google search. The Outlaw Dad has his maps, but not all of them. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:48, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
