Definitely a game that I enjoyed. This was always my favorite, even more so than the later American Outlaws games. While I can understand why people would find rewards for murdering people tasteless, it is worth noting that the protagonist Bill Grey was a member of Quantrill's Raiders, a confederate guerilla group so awful, they were disavowed and declared war criminals by the Confederacy for the massacre of 200 unarmed citizens (which the first page here states).
It's worth noting, however, that Jesse James had a reason for his bloodthirsty crusade against the Pinkerton Agency. Alan Pinkerton led a raid on their family home, killing his mother and younger brother in an attempt, as stated by Pinkerton himself, to burn the house down.
On the other hand, Jesse was part of a group that massacred civilians, and his family were slaveowners. Quantrill's Raiders, and presumably Jesse, spent most of their time hunting down and capturing runaway slaves. Jesse was also reported to have worn Ku Klux Klan sackcloth during the Adair train robbery, to show support for the group after their subjection to President US Grant's Enforcement Acts.
While I sympathize with his loved ones who had to suffer needlessly at the hands of Unionists who let their anger override their morality, the fact is that Jesse James himself was a prime dirtbag who deserved a public lynching, and the only reason why he is so romanticized as a Robin Hood is his affiliation with Southern newspaper editors who wanted to see Secessionists returned to power, and thought Jesse's antics would put pressure on the government to reinstate them. A murderer with a publicist.
I understand most of this review is not about the story, but it still astounds me how much of history is truly a better story than fiction. And as Will states, despite his disgusting crimes, you can't help but admire his sheer nerve, and how he left a lasting impact even 150 years later.

SCORE is 13500.
My score before I got the 100k bonus for surviving! This was a lot of fun, even if my view of most of the infamous outlaws from that period is that they were assholes murdering unarmed people who just lucked out when history decided to heavily romanticize them.
I'm sure I could've racked up a higher score, but I was roleplaying a bit and actively trying to avoid robberies and shootouts after the train crash. Seems like the original big score was the first bank robbery and they might as well have quit while they were ahead. (Hell, that original 8,500 share would've almost been enough to retire on in a time you could buy an acre of land for $5 and laborers made a dollar a day....)
Interesting how most of the others (other than Cole the action hero badass) seemed like pretty regular people while Jesse was a bit of a lunatic addicted to the thrill of it all, realistically I don't think think the others did themselves any favors hooking up with him. They didn't even get to go down in history, comparatively speaking--Jesse James is the only name most people know.
The incident with John shooting the pipe out of the man's mouth...that was real? Holy shit, I really do need to read up on these guys. Can you recommend some good resources for readers who want more details on the gang?
Anyway, I'm amazed you had time to write this in the middle of everything else with how busy you've been at work. You're putting us all to shame, man. :D

The idea of Edutainment is to both teach people and to entertain them, in a way that makes learning enjoyable. This game strikes a great balance between both. Not only does it teach the reader about a lot of interesting outlaws, it does it in a way that's both fun and exciting.
It has good usage of variables. I played around with it to see what would happen and I liked the approach. Spelling and grammar seemed clean. If there were any issues, it wasn't enough to distract me from the story.
The minor problem I had, which you yourself pointed out in the "Author's Perspective" section, is that getting a higher score requires you to kill more people. That's subjective though, especially since this is a game about being an outlaw. If you made a sequel, maybe offer two routes: a high positive score for killing, or a low negative score for taking a "peaceful" outlaw approach. That'd give two different goals to reach for.
Overall I was most impressed by your knowledge, research and devotion to representing all of the outlaws in a fair and engaging way. This could easily be fiction and be just as fun, which goes to show how well the source material was used. With all that said, this is now my favorite Edutainment game on the site.

This was a lot of fun! The relative non-consequence of going pacifist mode would be my only real complaint, as it never seems to affect the world or bite you until what I assume to be that one calculation near the end. Sucks for Jesse James to be killed all of a sudden, but it is what it is. A fun read for anyone interested in some outlaw role play!

Actually James Junior the word "guerrilla" came from the Peninsular War (1807-1814) when the Spanish irregular fighters were known as guerrilleros and guerilleras and the term was known in 19th century America and applied to Quantrill's Raiders (of which Frank and Jesse James and Cole and Jim Younger were members) and similar groups in some contemporary documents. Glad you liked the story though :)

the american veterans of the civil war were not known as "guerillas." that term was coined in latin america. Jessie, and Frank James were members of the Iregular Calvary which focused primarly on horse back raids while carying multiple weapons, deploying ambush tactics, and generaly harassing the enemy. THE TERM GEURILLA DID NOT EXIST AT THAT TIME IN THAT REGION.
otherwise absolutely spot on and great. 7/9

ROBBERIES is 15.
SCORE is 26800 (before the bonus)
It was quite satisfying. Descriptions were brief enough to keep you focused, but not so much that they'd make you not care about the story and the characters. I chose to follow Jesse James a great deal of the way and only tried going to California before hitting the "back" button. I mean you're an outlaw and spending a couple of years as a farmer is wasting your potential.
Spelling is apparently fine, the writing style is not exhausting the reader, while maintaining the vital information in the story (and the informative-'educational' value) as I mentioned.
I'm looking forward to more of your stories!

Great Game! Always wondering if I should go on that next robbery and wondering where the best place to hide out is.
I didn't 'go for kills' and you mentioned that Jesse and gang killed a lot of random innocent people. If you wanted to, you could try to count killings differently depending on type. I suppose the argument is that even the justified killings are killings of innocent people.

I really enjoyed this experience and I think this is what choose your own adventure stories should be all about. The setting was great and it was very clear that the author had a concise and well thought-out timeline based on the real life gang that you get to take part in. The characters were well described, and given the fact that a lot of members end up getting killed, arrested, or retire, sometimes character development is sort of overshadowed by the events in the story. I enjoyed the rob, hide, rob, hide structure of the story, but I think sometimes during the "hide" sections, their could be other subplots involved to make the story more interesting (and more creative ways of getting yourself killed). That being said, this was one of the better choose your adventure stories, I gave it a 7/8, and it was refreshing to not read another zombie story. I hope the author chooses to write a sequel as I enjoyed his style and would be interested in playing as a gang member in one of the other gangs that existed in the West.
