about this album
Outlaws is a first-person shooter released by LucasArts in 1997 using an enhanced version of the Jedi game engine, first seen in Star Wars: Dark Forces. It is one of the very few FPS games with a Wild West setting. CG animation sequences, with special filters to look hand drawn, play between each mission and set up the action in the next area. It is the first video game to feature a sniper zoom. Although not a huge financial success, the game received a cult following. Music for the game was scored by composer Clint Bajakian. An orchestra was used with authentic instruments which was not commonplace at that time. In total, the gaming CDs contained 15 different audio tracks which were suitable for play back on a regular CD player. It is noteworthy that the crystal case of the game's original release had a tracklist printed on its back side as it is the case with most normal audio CDs. Computer Gaming Magazine awarded the score with a Special Achievement award in 1997. In 2008 IGN selected the soundtrack from Outlaws to its "10 Great Videogame Albums" list.
