| Sunset Riders is a side-scrolling shooter game for up to four players on the Sega Genesis video game console. After years as an arcade game, Konami released Sunset Riders for the Sega Genesis. Sunset Riders lets players choose between bounty hunters Steve, Billy, Bob, and Cormano, who are out to hunt outlaws. These characters have individual strengths and weaknesses, including the use of different weapons such as pistols and shotguns. A player can choose to play independently, team up with a friend for a co-op game, or play in versus mode with two or more friends. The general idea of the game is to locate the bad guys, who all have large bounties on their heads and kill them before they kill you. Gameplay takes place on trains, in old western towns, and in Old West deserts against gunslingers, knife throwers, bulls, female bandits, and Indians. Sunset Riders uses power-ups like rapid fire and duel weapons, where gameplay involves one character with two weapons, to help gamers defeat the levels. Players can s***** dynamite sticks from the female bandits to throw back at enemies before the dynamite explodes. This is one of the Genesis games that uses the slide technique to help players dodge the bullets. In a two-player game, players can work together to protect each other and thwart enemies that sneak up from the back. Players increase their high score by collecting coins of different values and by winning bonus stages placed between different levels. This Sega Genesis game offers seven levels total and ends with a fight between the players and one of the big bosses. The game ends when one of the riders defeats the final big boss. In a multiplayer game, the rider who inflicts the most damage on the big boss will be awarded the win for clearing the level. Although Sunset Riders is a retro arcade game created for the Sega Genesis by Konami, it still provides hours of gameplay for gamers who enjoy nostalgic games that allow players to compete or join forces. Unlike other retro games, Sunset Riders still provides the necessary challenge, even with old school graphics and music. Controls: Gamepad/Joystick
