1* AccidentalAesop: As WebVideo/Civvie11 put it in his video of the game: "Always remember to murder the children. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Gentleman Bob didn't do it]] [[spoiler: and he paid the price.]]"
2* AntiClimaxBoss: Can happen with some bosses found in poorly-lit areas or when they're mixed among the mooks, as you may think that you just shot another goon and then be surprised by the [[InstantWinCondition sudden cutscene playing]].
3* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: With soundtrack director Clint Bajakian actively paying homage to Music/EnnioMorricone throughout the soundtrack, this game has some of the best Spaghetti Western-styled music outside of the genre, especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnG5X7iU4B0 The Last Gunfight]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efR8YuVR6dw Showdown]].
4* CultClassic: The game doesn't tend to be listed among the [=LucasArts=] greats, and the game didn't sell particularly well during its run. That said, it's still managed to gain a small but dedicated following, and those who played the game will nearly always say they greatly enjoyed it.
5* DemonicSpiders: Shotgun-wielding mooks are this in any difficulty above "Good" (Easy), they can kill you in one shot at a moderately close range, any closer than that will also literally [[BlownAcrossTheRoom blow you across the room]].
6* HilariousInHindsight: Beau Billingslea voiced "Buckshot" Bill Morgan, one of the many titular outlaws facing against a former law enforcement official. Later on Billingslea would be well known for voicing [[Anime/CowboyBebop another former law enforcement official]].
7* MoralEventHorizon: There really was no reason for Doctor Death to burn down Anderson's home, kill his wife and kidnap his daughter. Graham just sent the wrong kind of sociopathic outlaw to scare a family off of their land, and [[LampshadeHanging brings up this mistake pointedly.]]
8* QuirkyWork: There's a secret area that features a stegosaurus that makes chicken sounds when shot, a velociraptor with a person's head, a rabid squirrel and a dog with sunglasses, among other things.
9* SuspiciouslySimilarSong:
10** "The Last Gunfight" is ''very'' similar to Music/EnnioMorricone's "[[Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly The Ecstasy Of Gold]]". This is likely [[ShoutOut deliberate]].
11** One part of "The Ballad of Dr. Death" sounds very similar to a movement of Music/LudwigVanBeethoven's 5th Symphony.
