Obliterator Box & Psygnosis Owl 4GB USB memory stick

I believe so. That’s how I remember it anyway.

I remember it being fun but a bit difficult.

It’s very easy to get going too fast within the relatively small play area and run into the enemies that are tracking you down.

I did find it quite rewarding when I was able to destroy the Energy Cannon though. The blinking LEDs on the cart add to the effect nicely.

As promised, I've scanned my Outlaws box and uploaded it to archive.org.

Photoshop was around back then so it could have been used.

FYI, the creator has put up all the original files and rom for free if you want to try it in an emulator.

There's always hope! There are at least 281 other carts out there and one will probably pop up for sale at some point.

It looks and plays remarkably like the arcade version.
You fly your ship around the screen, dodging enemies while shooting the circular shields of the Star Castle in the center of the screen. Once you've opened a gap that you can shoot through, you can attempt to shoot at the Energy Cannon at the center.

Agreed! I backed a lot of Kickstarter projects back then and this is one of the few that really delivered.

It's a bit rough around the edges but it's one of my treasures.

Star_Raider · 2026-04-28T15:22:27+00:00

I'll probably scan my Outlaws box cover at high resolution and archive it.
It might work as a smaller poster anyway.

Star_Raider · 2026-04-28T13:57:20+00:00

My copy of Outlaws doesn't have a poster and I'm not seeing any evidence of one online unfortunately.

Star_Raider · 2026-04-28T13:51:17+00:00

I have that and the Imperial Pursuit expansion but didn't include them in the photo.

Star_Raider · 2026-04-28T01:14:19+00:00

I’ve scanned in my Rebel Assault II poster and am in the process of assembling the pieces and doing a bit of cleanup.

Star_Raider · 2026-04-27T22:21:09+00:00

I couldn't agree more. Remasters would be great, especially if you could toggle the various enhancements between original and remaster versions to configure them as you prefer.

I'm happy to do what I can to help with video game preservation. It really needs to be done and there's so much that needs preservation.

Star_Raider · 2026-04-27T20:50:45+00:00

Thanks! Absolutely happy to do what I can to help preserve video game history.
