Outlaws
=======

The Game
--------
When Daniel was eight, he was kidnaped by a band of outlaws. Taken away from his family he was forced to become and outlaw to profit his kidnappers.

But Daniel had a good heart and knew the things he was forced to do were not right. One night, he stole their boss gun, a bright Colt, and killed his captors while they were asleep. He ran away under a hail of bullets.

He was found almost dead by an old man who took care of him. Years later, when this old man died, Daniel found himself once again without a family. He decided to go back to the city where he was born.

When he arrived to Cowntury County he found a land without laws. Bandits were the owners of every gold mine and town. People needed a hero and Daniel needed revenge.

They called him Daniel Colt.
