Go To

1* AngstWhatAngst: Evil Eb is more annoyed than angry about The Man With No Name killing all of his friends; [[spoiler:they even become drinking buddies after their duel.]]
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: As hilariously bad as this game is, some of its music is very catchy, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjhoIsIiG9E the CDTV version's main theme]] (a remix of the theme from ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'').
3* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
4** The cutscene where the man with the cigarette asks a Creator/LeeVanCleef expy if he can give him the time. The latter looks at his stopwatch with a real-life photo of a girl for about 20 seconds while loud organ music plays before just saying "no", and then the game continues, and the character never appears again.
5** Since all gang members except for Wildcard [=McVee=] are encountered by simply entering and exiting any building, the majority of things The Man With No Name does are amusing yet practically pointless in the long run.
6** If you choose to "get back on the train", the train flies off into space at warp speed.
7* BileFascination: The game attracts a lot of people wanting to see the DerangedAnimation, the {{Jerkass}} tendencies of The Man With No Name, and the [[MindScrew generally bizarre things]] that happen.
8* CrossesTheLineTwice: The Man With No Name (apparently harmlessly) shooting a kid for getting his name wrong while smiling and being on a train that then goes to space at warp speed.
9* DesignatedHero: The Man With No Name barely does anything that can be considered heroic. Most of time, he just dicks around doing nothing and doesn't even look for his sister, which is supposedly the reason why he is in The Town With No Name in the first place. He is a jackass to most characters he meets in the game and he even has the option to ''[[TooDumbToLive attempt to kill the man with the cigarette]]''. When you get the alternate ending, he shoots a child just for [[{{Film/Shane}} getting his name wrong]].
10* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: While the cutscenes are [[SoBadItsGood very entertaining]], actually playing the game can be quite a pain, since you lose all your progress if you fail any of the shootout segments, and none of the cutscenes are skippable. You're probably better off looking up videos of the game online.
11* EnsembleDarkHorse: [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/479/226/5c3.png Mr. Diablo]]/[[{{WebVideo/Retsupurae}} Retard Abraham Lincoln]]/[[{{WebVideo/Vinesauce}} Vampire Abraham Lincoln]], the undertaker who slides across the screen accompanied by a short organ rendition of the funeral march that ends with an out-of-tune tubular bell when four of the bandits die (the song is also used for the Grim Reaper's appearance when Zippy Zeke and Crafty Clint tie), is often considered by many to be the funniest moment in the entire game due to his uncanny resemblance to UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln, disturbing facial expression, and his unexpected presence in a game already filled with bizarre occurrences.
12* FanNickname: Retard UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln[[note]]Coined by WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}}.[[/note]] and Vampire Abraham Lincoln[[note]]Coined by [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Joel]] during his FMV Friday playthrough of the game.[[/note]] for [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/479/226/5c3.png Mr. Diablo]].
13** Due to the line "My name's not Shane, kid!", it's not uncommon to see people call the main character "Not Shane".
14* MemeticMutation:
15** "Gimme a drink, bartender." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The minigame where the bartender [[BarSlide slides a beer across the bar]]. Failing it has the beer slowly slide off the bar while the Man With No Name stares and frowns.[[/labelnote]]
16** [[BondOneLiner "My name's not]] Film/{{Shane}}, [[{{WouldHurtAChild}} kid!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the game's endings has The Man With No Name shoot a random child [[DisproportionateRetribution simply for getting his name wrong]].[[/labelnote]]
17** "Do you have the right time, old man?" ''17 seconds of OminousPipeOrgan'' "No." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A scene involving two characters resembling Creator/ClintEastwood and Creator/LeeVanCleef doing a ShoutOut to ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'' has been widely memed thanks to how much of a BigLippedAlligatorMoment it is.[[/labelnote]]
18* ObviousBeta: On a purely technical level, the graphics are obviously unfinished in several places, and the voice samples often cut off prematurely on the CDTV version (though they generally play fine on the PC version). A look through the game's files also indicates that it was originally meant to be more of a full-on adventure game, rather than the BossGame that it effectively ended up as. Even then, one of Evil Eb's gang members, Immortal Isaac, is TheGhost, and only Wildcard [=McVee=] has any sort of puzzle associated with him.
19* QuirkyWork: Certainly has that feeling with random surreal elements such as the priest that floats to heaven or the train that goes to space in one of the endings.
20* ScrappyMechanic: The [[{{Permadeath}} lack of checkpoints]] makes playing it all over a chore, since the cutscenes bar the intro aren't skippable and each scene loads between each other.
21* SoBadItsGood: For a game trying to parody the Western genre and have comedic elements in it, it fails so hard that it somehow warps back to being hysterical. Although there's a possibility Delta 4 was trying to ''invoke'' this trope, given how little effort they even ''bother'' putting into it, so it may get into StylisticSuck territory.
22* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The song that plays when [[spoiler:the train takes off into space if you decide to get back on it]] sound almost, but not quite like "[[Franchise/StarWars The Imperial March]]".
23* ThatOneBoss: Wildcard [=McVee=] is the only boss in the game the player must actively seek out, as he only appears when you choose to play cards in the saloon after defeating Crafty Clint; your opponent is the Bartender if you play the card game any other time. Beat him and he challenges you to a duel outside. However, he's actually lying and will instead shoot you dead without warning unless you immediately gun him down ''before'' he finishes making his offer for a duel. [[TrialAndErrorGameplay There's no way to know this in advance either.]]
24* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Has an awful lot of gore for a game that was labeled as "all ages". Also a prostitute scene; not explicitly shown, but it's obvious what's going on.
