U can still play it online multiplayer

The clans are still playing it, but because the old WON servers are now defunct, you will need a Steam account to play multiplayer online. If you have a Halflife game, then you probably already have the Steam account. I am telling you this because this game is no longer supported by the company and its servers are gone forever. Once you install Gunman normally, to play multiplayer online all you have to do is this:

Open up your Programs folder where Gunman is installed (probably C:/Sierra/Gunman), and look for the folder called "Rewolf." Then just copy that folder to your Steam programs folder where all your other Steam games are listed. For example, my address to the Steam folder looks like this:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\jokerfunny

"jokerfunny" is my account name in Steam. Also, something no one told me, is that for me I had to open Steam and click on Games in the Menu and then select Activate Product on Steam. Then I had to enter my Gunman cd code. Once I did that and restarted Steam, Gunman showed up immediately. It did not show up just because I copied the Rewolf folder to the address above, but others swear it will so it might for you.
You need to make sure you have your regular Halflife game installed and showing in Steam before you do any of the above.

It sounds like alot, but it took me less than 4 minutes, and now I can play this great game with one of the original first person shooter communities ever! Yes, Gunman was out there right with Duke Nukem, but Gunman was way ahead of its time. Deathmatch maps are still everywhere on the internet and the clans are still designing new ones. Believe it or not!!

If you liked half life then this game is worth playing.Its pretty much a remake of the half life engine.the story is good along with the old wild west type environments and themes.the enemies,xenomes,desperados are original and that makes gunman a hyper powered half life.the best level is the last cause you fight in outer space on the surface of an alien wild west planet.my only con is the lack of guns although the rocket launcher is pretty cool.overall this game is worth buying......that is if you are a half life fan!!!

the single player part of the game is fun, but the best part of this games is the multi-player on-line side . . . oh yea, the action is fast & in your face, the weapons need to be customized as you pick them up & the gunman world is small (that is what I like). This game you will only find 5-10 servers on-line at a time, but don't let that fool ya, there is always someone to do battle with & the full time players are some real friendly types too! One of the servers is PostalsPlace.com, it is a 10 player TEAM server hosted by the MIGHTY -=[PoSt@L]=- UNION . . . what a good bunch of guys to visit & play with, tell them I sent ya !

decent game

ok. all these reveiws say this game is infirior compared to half life. it is. i'll admit it. in many ways in fact. but the fact still remains that this game is entertaining. it will last you a couple days. when it came out i would have told you to steer clear of this game at all costs. now however you can find it in the bargin bin at alot of stores for like .99 to $5. for this price it is a good game. few bargin games are as fun as this game. so the point is. it isn't a supirior game but for .99 cents it delivers enough to keep you ocupied

Gunman Chronicles is an add-on to the original half-life game. So it's won't work without it.
The game's graphics are far from being top-notch and the story isn't that great either. It doesn't really fit in the half-life universe.
But still, this is one of the best games I've ever played! It gives you a nice feeling, and creates a great atmosphere! Enemy population is quite diverse and so are the many weapons that you can change their firing rate, style and so. It also has some drivable vehicles like tanks.
If you're a FPS and/or half-life fan, I definetly recommend this game!

Get this game, its alot of fun

The old West theme really works. They do a great job with the robots and the old west bandits. The weird 1970s version of outer space art is really imaginative and colorful. AWESOME GAME. The aliens look like desparados and the AI is above average. Its long and lots of fun for just a few dollars. This game got a raw deal in the ratings.

Good Games fallen short

Gunman is sadly one of those great games that never makes it big. The story line takes you to unexpected ends of the universe, once you depart from one planet, you never know where you might end up. The games difficulty is just so that you would rather keep playing after failling a mission rather then giving up for awhile. After playing for awhile and looking back at all youve shot your way threw and came across, you notice just how large and intense the game really is. The graphics arnt that off date and the game is really fun, a great buy for such a low price.

This game

I wasn't too impressed with this game at all. You get a bunch of differ weapons to use but, you have to shoot the people over and over again. The bullets don't even affect who ever you are shooting. So when you shoot someone and keep shooting them they just keep walking towards you like nothing is happening. It also takes for ever to kill them. So very unrealistic and pathetic. The game is suppose to be using Half Life's engine but to me the graphics don't look as good. It took me a day to conquer this game so that is pretty also.

Half-life...............Half-length
