* RecycledInSpace: The game uses a modified version of the ''VideoGame/DarkForces'' UsefulNotes/GameEngine which itself was based on the ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' engine. Which would essentially make this game ''Dark Forces'' or ''Doom'' in the WildWest.

* EasterEgg: Numerous, often [[WhatDoYouMeanitwasntmadeondrugs pretty unusual.]] Dinosaurs with human faces, poodles with sunglasses that shoot fire at you, aliens in the toilet just to name a few. There are also a couple of more normal ones, such as the golden statue (which is a shout out to ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''), Max from Franchise/SamAndMax and hell.

Added DiffLines:

* PragmaticVillainy: As far as is shown "Gentleman" Bob Graham seems perfectly willing to leave people alone as long as they sell him the land he wants. In fact, while not opposed to hiring cutthroat outlaws to "persuade" people into accepting his buyouts, he doesn't want the land owners killed and chastises Dr. Death for burning down Anderson's home, killing his wife, and kidnapping his child. Not because it's morally wrong of course, but because it sent Anderson on the warpath and is causing problems for his plans.

Added DiffLines:

* MadeOfIron: Most of the bosses in the game are only marginally to moderately tougher than the average mooks you gun down, so a good bit of buckshot or a few well-placed rifle rounds can drop them. [[FinalBoss Bob Graham]], on the other hand, can stand there and take over several dozen rounds from a ''gatling gun'' before he finally goes down.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Both [[BigBad Graham]] and [[DeadlyDoctor Jackson]] disapprove of [[WouldHurtAChild "Bloody" Mary Nash's idea of killing Sarah.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Both [[BigBad Graham]] and [[DeadlyDoctor Jackson]] disapprove of [[WouldHurtAChild "Bloody" Mary Nash's idea of killing Sarah.]] In Graham's case, [[spoiler:sparing Anderson as a child after killing the boy's father got him into this mess in the present, and by pure karmic justice, his sparing of Sarah leads to her shooting him to save Anderson.]]

* GoodOldFisticuffs: When Anderson lacks ammo for his guns, or is without his guns, his fists deliver a [[OneHitKill one-hit knockout]].
* GoryDiscretionShot: [[spoiler:"Henry" George Bowers]] CruelAndUnusualDeath

** There is an easter egg in one historical mission that pays a {{Homage}} to the opening sequence of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.
** The musical piece called "The Last Gunfight" is a huge one to Ecstasy of Gold from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly(which itself it a prelude to the famous final gunfight from the film).

* DownerBeginning: The game opens up with Anderson losing his home and his wife as well as his daughter getting kidnapped. Afterwards the game never gets quite as grim as that.

Stuffed In The Fridge is now a disambig/fanspeak page and should not be linked in bulleted trope lists.

* NintendoHard: On "Bad" (Medium) or "Ugly" (Hard), difficulty, the game is very hard. You die in just a handful of shots, and can be killed in one or two hits at close range. Plus, all enemies use hitscan weapons. Despite the appearance of the game, if you run around with guns blazing [[RealityEnsues you'll be shot to death pretty damn quickly]]. The key to success is to treat the game like a tactical shooter and methodically pick off enemies from behind cover and around corners. Or you could play the game on "Good" (Easy) difficulty and, well, run around like it's ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}''.
