Sunset Riders is a run and gun style side scrolling shoot-em-up released by Konami as a video game coin operated in 1991. The game is set in the American Old West, where the player takes control of a bounty hunter seeking the rewards offered for various criminals. The coin-op version was released in two versions: a 2-player and 4-player version. Home versions of Sunset Riders were released for the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) in 1992 and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993.
The player can play as one of four bounty hunters: Steve and Billy are armed with peacemakers (for faster shots), while Bob and two shotguns Cormano of use (for wide-shots). In version 2 players, each player can choose the character you want to control before starting the game, while the 4-player version is assigned to each set of controls to a specific character.The game’s controls consist of a joystick eight positions to move the character and two buttons to shoot and jump. The player’s weapon has unlimited ammo and can shoot forward and upward, while the player is standing or jumping. The player can jump between different floors where possible keeping the joystick up or down while pressing Jump. At higher levels, the player can shoot it down (diagonal or vertical) while crouching (whereas on the ground floor, the player can only shoot forward while squatting). The player can also slide down holding the joystick diagonally while pressing Jump.
Two plates in the form of power-ups can be obtained by defeating enemies carrying sack: the Silver Badge grants the player a second gun, allowing his character to shoot in two directions at once, while gold badge that allows the player to shoot continuously press the shutter button down. Both power-ups can be used together. The other two items includes lots of gold powder and roasted chickens, which will provide the player with more points. The player can also find power-ups by entering certain buildings too. Some enemies also throw sticks of dynamite in the player, which can be collected with the shutter button and threw it at them. The player loses a life each time they are hit by the enemy, with all the power-ups that may have been armed with.The game consists of eight stages. The goal is to reach the end of each stage and defeat the outlaw awaiting the end in order to collect the bounty on the head. The further the player progresses through the game, the greater the rewards will be. If more than one player is playing, the player who does the most damage to the boss will get all the reward at the end. Some stages feature segments where the character is riding a horse. In addition to the regular stages, there are also bonus stages established from a first person perspective, where the player has to shoot enemies coming from eight directions.
