Trivia
There is a Direct3D patch that lets the game use slightly higher resolution and improved textures, as well as improved overall performance.
Max, the wicked bunny from the Sam & Max adventure, another Lucas arts game, makes an appearance in western style in Outlaws. To meet him and to discover some other funny things, choose the ‘historical missions’ mode and play until you’ve earned enough stars to become a deputy. Then you can enter the deputy and play a new level. Check the map while playing, a secret location will appear afterwards.
When you kill all the enemies in the level, a secret tunnel will appear on the map. Enter the tunnel. At the end, you’ll meet a crazy squirrel, a dog with glasses and a very evil Max with a western costume. Be wary, he will attack you at once ;)

In the 3D Shooter game "Iron Storm", one assumes the role of a certain "Lieutenant James Anderson". Since the main character in Outlaws is Marshall James Anderson, could this be a year 2002 tribute to the ol' Outlaws game?

"1138" sighting: Engine number of the train in the intro. (1138 is a reference to George Lucas' first feature film: THX-1138)
Later release by LucasArts gave us version 2.0 of a game (which I happen to have :) and there are some major updates on that, such as completely different 'Historical Missions' menu which gives you "Civil War", "Ice Caves", "Villa" and "Wharf Town" long-leveled missions with completely new places and better yet, completely new terrain never before seen in "Outlaws" such as ice and vast snow terrains, huge rivers, sunken cities, etc. with an exception on "Marshal Training" which is the same and only thing original "Outlaws" version 1.0 has under 'Historical Missions' section.
Now, there's more. In original "Outlaws" v.1.0 there were no music due to missions on second CD. There are now, and they are newly composed and great as the original ones, completely with the atmosphere in the game. So, now both of CDs can be played on your hi-fi. If you're lucky, you'll have v.2.0 written on your main screens, if not, v.1.0 is great nevertheless.

Outlaws' celebrated, award-winning musical score was included on the game CDs on Red Book Audio tracks so one can listen to the music with an ordinary CD player. A separate stand-alone soundtrack album is available at LucasArts Company Store as a bonus for the buyers of Outlaws.
