16-Bit Gems #27: Sunset Riders (SNES, Genesis)

This Konami arcade classic was ported to both the Super Nintendo and Genesis, but how well did they stack up to each other? And which one took quite a departure from the initial version? Roo examines each in this rootin'-tootin' episode.

@buttkick22

No reason to. The mega drive outclassed the nes in every category

[buttkick22]

@AzumGaming i strongly disagree

@Mjolkmaestro

Yeah but the genesis pwned the nes :P

Damn i loved that game.. Altered beast,sunset riders and 1943 the battle for midway were my favorite games growing up.

Arcade, shame that when I was a kid in the 80's, most Arcade halls are for 18 years old only, and even then it usually have the worst bad eggs who hangs around in there in stereotypical Hollywood fashion. The only time that I ever gone to a "family friendly" arcade was in London Trocadero called "Fun Land" a quite nice place. Probably the first time I ever gone to an arcade as a young teen when Street Fighter 2 came out.

@motherplayer

Genny version also had whores in the brothels.

I am surprised you never mentioned Wild West CowBoys of MooMesa in the video, which was the sequel to sunset riders through most of development before Konami slapped the cartoon license on top of it.

also, please say mega drive in your videos!!!

11:47 I agree, it's time to let the console wars go. Everyone already know that the SNES is better than the Genesis.
