Sunset Riders - the arcade game by Konami - 1991

Opening intro & auto demo. Sunset Riders is a run n gun arcade game created by Konami in year 1991. Set in the wild west, the game was later ported to the Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES video game console. Sunset Riders is similar to other run and guns such as Contra, but with less emphasis on jumping and a greater focus on shooting. The game includes a total of four playable characters to choose from: Steve, Billy, Bob, and Cormano. The characters are slightly different: Steve and Billy use revolvers, Bob carries a rifle, and Cormano is armed with a shotgun. The rifle and shotgun shoot somewhat slower than their revolver counterparts, but have a wider spread, making them ideal for taking out enemies without too much precise aiming. On the full size arcade cabinet up to four players can play simultaneously, each as a different character. Typical great Konami background music.

Holy crap, Sunset Riders. I have this game on Megadrive, and I love it and played it to death. Just a shame this version is inferior to both the SNES and the arcade ones (with two of the four characters and a lot of levels cut out, and lesser graphics).

Right on. Thanks for the commentary.
