Saddle up, pardner! Tin Star is an independently produced Gamebook-style game by Allen Gies, previously known for his prior games, Marine Raider and Apex Patrol. It is hosted by Choice of Games' user submitted label Hosted Games.After being convicted of murder and sentenced to hang, you are saved from the noose by Marshal Simon James. He's got an offer for you: take up his job as U.S. Marshal of Lander County, Nevada for a period of four years, or take six to the chest. Out in Nevada, you'll meet up with a colorful assortment of characters, fight bandits and Indians (or join them!), fight a bear, make strategic and moral decisions that will define your character, and maybe even find out what's really going on in Nevada, and what it all has to do with you.Just be careful out there. None of the other Marshals in Lander County have lasted very long...The game can be found here. The first few chapters are available as a free demo. (Beware, it ends on a cliffhanger!)Not to be confused with a similarly-named Rail Shooter for the SNES. | |

Noble Savage | |
| Tin Star (Choice of Games) (Video Game) / int_121865ac | comment |
Noble Savage: Most of the Indians shown in this game are very honest fellows, albeit with very little use for white people's customs or their forked tongues. Yiska plays with this, however, in that many of his noble traits come from a comprehensive legal education, and part of his character arc involves the struggle between the traditional Shoshone lifestyle, and how the coming of the railroad and the white man are bringing that to an end. | |

The Wild West: Marshal James expects the Marshal to make their mark in Preston Springs, a town that isn't exactly kind to its law officials. He's rather hoping you'll do better and spare him the cost of a pine box. | |

The Sheriff: Not you. The town sheriff is Preston, though he doesn't wear the badge and he tries to manage in a very hands-off way, and he wants you to keep your nose out of "town business" and stick to "county business." This is a fancy word for "serving as his muscle and not interfering with his governance of the town." | |

I Can Rule Alone | |
| Tin Star (Choice of Games) (Video Game) / int_3821b813 | comment |
I Can Rule Alone: If you don't like being Regina and Reginald's lackey, then you can play along, then betray Reginald at the last minute, take over his bandits, and plunder Preston Springs for yourself, leaving Regina's plan for the transcontinental railroad to happen as it may. If you kill Fredrick Upton quietly, you can change his will to disinherit any of his surviving children and take over his massive fortune for yourself. You can even use this to save the Shoshone or enrich Preston Springs, as Upton might do for his lackeys. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The best possible endings for the Shoshone are this, because whatever happens, the Shoshone are going to have to give up their traditional semi-nomadic lifestyle and settle down, probably on a reservation. | |

You can also anger them later and have showdowns with them near the end, in which case they will be the deadliest opponents in the game. | |

Courtroom Episode | |
| Tin Star (Choice of Games) (Video Game) / int_5f207a1a | comment |
Courtroom Episode: In Chapter 5, when Marshal Steele comes into town and claims to be the real marshal for Lander County, one possible resolution is for you to investigate, then go into the Babylon Saloon and lay out your case against him. It's not quite a formal trial as there's no judge and only an ad-hoc jury, but it still fits. If you do exceptionally well, the trial can go into future law textbooks as an example of how to present a case. | |

Fiction 500 | |
| Tin Star (Choice of Games) (Video Game) / int_6fc21d06 | comment |
Fiction 500: Fredrick Upton is one of the wealthiest men in America, and is capable of building a city out of a goldless desert, squeezing the federal government into giving the Shoshone a wealthy reservation, or even buying the Marshal a governorship. One of these can be given as a simple, offhanded bribe just to get the Marshal to leave him alone, and he can give three such gifts to reward a competent lackey for a successful mission without damaging his fortune in the slightest. The Marshal can also end up this wealthy. Takes a bit of corruption, though, or at least stealing the Uptons' fortune. | |

Earlier on, if you're evil or persuasive enough, you can agree to work with Regina and Reginald Upton to derail the construction of the transcontinental railroad. Success earns you a trip to New York to meet with Fredrick Upton, who is extremely generous with lackeys who have served him well; he can offer up to three of the above deals. | |

Evil Pays Better | |
| Tin Star (Choice of Games) (Video Game) / int_8aebbc74 | comment |
Evil Pays Better: Boy howdy. A marshal's salary is barely enough to keep your horse shod. You can be honorable and subsist on that, or you can take bribes, extort businessmen, and generally grub for money and walk out of Lander County as the richest man in the northern hemisphere. In the climax, working for the Uptons can get you multiple major boons (on the scale of a state Governorship or a marriage into the family), depending on how well you do. Taking a bribe can get you one, while you can literally make out like a bandit if you plunder Preston Springs or murder Fredrick Upton. A completely honest marshal will not get anything but Fredrick Upton's arrest. | |

Been There, Shaped History: The transcontinental railroad features prominently in the game. You can't keep it from being completed, but you can make its completion into an overly-expensive mess or, conversely, be responsible for its easy success. Also, the financial problems of the Union Pacific were caused by Fredrick Upton's machinations. | |

Real Men Love Jesus: The Latter-Day Saints are devout followers of their faith and true enough to their word that they can buy on credit in a Western town. To a one, they are also some of the finest riflemen in Lander County. Ben Carson himself is the clearest example. If you so choose, the PC can be a religious individual. Your PC will be a badass in some way. | |

Jurisdiction Friction | |
| Tin Star (Choice of Games) (Video Game) / int_c2676b00 | comment |
Jurisdiction Friction: J.T. Preston founded the town and owns most of it, and has reluctantly become the sheriff, which gives him jurisdiction over "town business." The Marshal has jurisdiction over "county business," which includes the town. Preston wants "an understanding" between the two of them where the Marshal defers to him on all town matters. | |

We Can Rule Together | |
| Tin Star (Choice of Games) (Video Game) / int_c420a553 | comment |
We Can Rule Together: Two examples. At the end of the game, if you're playing the good or renegade route, Fredrick Upton offers your PC almost anything in exchange for letting him live out his days in peace instead of shooting or arresting him. This isn't necessarily just money, though that's an option; he also offers to help you resolve the Shoshone's problems, invest in building up Preston Springs, or give you a governorship in America or Mexico. Most fitting this trope, you can also force him to let you marry into the Upton family, if you're okay with the conditions. Earlier on, if you're evil or persuasive enough, you can agree to work with Regina and Reginald Upton to derail the construction of the transcontinental railroad. Success earns you a trip to New York to meet with Fredrick Upton, who is extremely generous with lackeys who have served him well; he can offer up to three of the above deals. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| Tin Star (Choice of Games) (Video Game) / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: At three points, you can decide to abandon your job voluntarily. When Roger Steele declares himself the Marshal of Lander County, you can let him have the job. He'll shoot you and claim you were pulling your gun on him. Cutting a deal with the villains allows you to abandon your job in one of two ways. Either you can work with them, allowing you to abandon Preston Springs after completing their plot, or you can cut and run from the villains' job, take control of their hired bandits, and loot and burn Preston Springs. It's perfectly possible to skip the final chapter and not go to New York, instead either staying on as Marshal of Lander County or dropping your tin star and moving out. The only thing you miss is closure to the story and the rewards available in the finale. | |

The Cavalry | |
| Tin Star (Choice of Games) (Video Game) / int_d9e9ad7e | comment |
The Cavalry: It's the Wild West, of course the Cavalry are there at dramatically appropriate moments. In the stagecoach ride, when you reach the Utah border, the Saints come in if you're still being pursued and drive off the Hartigan gang. If you befriend a unit of US Cavalry, they can come back to help you later. They're the most powerful military unit in the game, and if they arrive at the right time, can win the battle for the railroad for you, allowing you to attack the train unopposed. | |

Archaic Weapon for an Advanced Age | |
| Tin Star (Choice of Games) (Video Game) / int_ddcc22c3 | comment |
Archaic Weapon for an Advanced Age: The Brawling skill also covers your ability with hand weapons, and you can have a sword, mace, or more exotic weapon forged for yourself at the blacksmith. However, most people get by with pistol and rifle. | |

Magic Realism | |
| Tin Star (Choice of Games) (Video Game) / int_e6ab61d | comment |
Magic Realism: The story has a distinct feel of the supernatural to it in many places, fitting the tall tales of the Western dime novels. The Marshal can develop a tendency to spark after being struck with lightning, but it's mostly just one more legend about the Marshal's life. | |
