Suggest splitting this article into two articles: Outlaw VCS is not a port of Outlaw arcade
The article says that Outlaw VCS is a home port of Outlaw arcade, and 'is more directly comparable to Gun Fight'. Surely it is just an unofficial port of Gun Fight, and doesn't really have anything much to do with the light gun arcade game of Outlaw (apart from the shared title and theme)? The referenced Dot Eaters article doesn't say it is a port of the Outlaw arcade. It says 'A sequel of sorts for Gunfight, called Boot Hill, is made by Midway in 1977. Atari has two versions of the concept, both titled Outlaw; an arcade version where players draw a light-gun pistol and shoot the onscreen villains, and a VCS port more similar to the original, made in 1979 by renowned designer David Crane.' Kevin Bunch's Atari Archive article on Atari VCS Outlaw (https://www.atariarchive.org/blog/outlaw-gunslinger-october-1978/#more-929) discusses every derivation of Gun Fight and doesn't even *mention* Outlaw arcade.

I suggest that this article should be split into two separate articles - one for Outlaw (1976 arcade game), and one for Outlaw (1978 Atari VCS game), reflecting that they are two separate games. Jasonlv (talk) 08:46, 27 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Agreed. I've removed the information regarding the Atari 2600 version. Andrzejbanas (talk) 15:40, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
