Outlaws is a video game for the Commodore 64 released by Ultimate Play the Game in 1985. In a break from earlier arcade adventure titles such as The Staff of Karnath and Entombed, Outlaws is a straightforward shooter game and does not feature the aristocrat adventurer Sir Arthur Pendragon.

Outlaws was released on the Commodore 64 at the same time as another Wild West-themed title, Gunfright, for the ZX Spectrum. The game was created by brothers Dave and Robert (Bob) Thomas.[2]
