Try the Games of the Old West Quiz!

[img_inline caption="" align='right' src='http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/25/25632.jpg']Brave the frontier of the Old West with our quiz!

The Old West has long been a source of inspiration for many books and films featuring cowboys, lawmen, Clint Eastwood and the unexplored western frontiers of 19th century America. Games have been no exception; whether its hunting rabbits in The Oregon Trail or taking down bandits in Red Dead Redemption, the themes of the Wild West are a great setting for action and adventure. But how much do you know about games that draw their inspiration from the Old West?

(Take the quiz. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/quizzes/view/161])

You'll have as long as you like to take the quiz, and can retake it until you get 100%. Just remember your cumulative time will affect your position on the leaderboard.

60% - Not bad considering I guessed on most, and the only "western" game I've played was the Neversoft one (and a few of the references, but they weren't true westerns).

I may possibly like this quiz an inordinate amount due to having a question with Wild Arms in, as it's nice to see it getting noticed, as it needs to be.

I scored 80%, with 8 of 10 correct on The Escapist's Games of the Old West Quiz!. [br] [a href="/quizzes/view/161-Games-of-the-Old-West-Quiz"]Take this quiz[/a]

5th place when I finished. I'm not really into Western games, but I knew almost all of them.

Considering I've only ever played Red Dead Redemption, 8/10 is a nice score for me

I used to play the HELL out of Outlaws. I was in an online clan back in the days of the MSN Gaming Zone, we were called DOC, and most everyone played as Matt "Dr. Death" Jackson. Except me, I always played as the good Marshal James Anderson with his trusty rifle. Man I miss those days.


Also, no mention of [img]http://www.arcade-museum.com/images/118/1181242121251.png
Which is also a crime.

I used to play tons of Outlaws as well and was equally pissed to see it absent from this quiz. It is a SERIOUSLY underrated game. Believe it or not, there are still those that play online and if I'm not mistaken it's one group of die-hards from the MSN Gaming Zone who just won't stop playing. http://www.e-warzone.com/outlaws you need to download a client of some kind but it work just fine.

Just got it up and running. Seems cool, but no one is playing at the moment. I'll check again later.

I like the nod to the tabletop game, that was a lot of fun. Of course, Bruce Campbell enjoyed it enough to write a forward for one of their books, so there is that.
