About This Game
The Genesis version features altered stages and mechanics compared to the arcade original, with slower gameplay but additional content like new enemy types and mid-bosses.
With its colorful visuals, catchy Western soundtrack, and cooperative multiplayer, Sunset Riders became a cult classic among 16-bit shooter fans.
The game's humorous tone and creative boss battles (like the stampeding cattle stage) set it apart from more serious Western games of the era.
