I am playing this on the PlayStation 5 through the Atari Flashback Classics vol.2 collection.
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlaw_(video_game)
"Outlaw is a single-player arcade game by Atari Inc., originally released in 1976. It simulates an Old West fast draw duel between the player and the computer.[3] Outlaw was a response to Gun Fight, released by Midway in North America the year before.[4][5]
Atari released ports of the game for the Atari 2600 console (then known as the Atari VCS) in 1978 and for the Atari 8-bit computers in 1981.

An enhanced home video game console port was developed for the Atari VCS by then-Atari employee David Crane and released in 1978.[4] This version is more directly comparable to Midway's Gun Fight,[4] allowing two players to engage in a shoot-out using Atari CX40 joysticks. There are multiple modes that differ slightly from the arcade game, including target practice and versions with obstacles that must be shot around or shot through. There is also a multiplayer mode in which two players fight against each other.
Crane also developed Outlaw/Howitzer for the Atari 8-bit computers in 1979.[6] It is a two-in-one game, in which the player can choose to duel either as cowboys or tanks, the former game mode being similar in gameplay to the VCS version. Outlaw/Howitzer was made available for purchase through Atari Program Exchange in summer of 1981.[7]"
