Sunset Riders

Developer: Konami

Sunset Riders on the Sega Mega Drive is a pulpy, arcade-style run-and-gun that drops players into sun-baked Wild West shootouts. Pick a colorful bounty hunter, blast through saloons, canyons and trains, and face cartoonish gang bosses in fast-paced side-scrolling stages. The Genesis port preserves the coin-op's brisk tempo and straight-forward mechanics, rewarding memorization, reflexes and cooperative play. Expect tight weapon pickups, memorable tunes, tough patterns and a healthy dose of nostalgia — a compact, satisfying challenge for fans of arcade classics and old-school action platformers.
