I've been a fan of this game since playing it in the arcade when i was a young boy and i now own both versions for the Genesis and Super Nintendo and can say that the Genesis version is alot better! It stays true to the arcade by keeping the prostitutes, indians, original storyboards and vocals intact unlike the SNES version where everything is watered down and racially unbiased. The only thing the SNES version has got going for itself is the brighter graphics and better sounding vocals in their version of Sunsetriders....but then again when faced with the same game for both systems, the SNES always did come out on top with better graphics/sound so what else is new. Anyway GREAT 2-D sidescrolling shoot 'em up western that if you haven't heard about or played this legend, then either you've been living in a cave most of your life or were born after 1990!

Along with Zombies Ate My Neighbors, I also bought this game. Freakin awesome man. The graphics are sweet, the music is cool, the sound effects are good, just an overall cool game. Get a person to play with you and you'll have fun for hours. The mexican is obviously the best player choice in this game. Not cause of his shot gun that sprays everywhere, but because of his sweet purple poncho and sombrero. This game is challenging at times since one shot to you and you'll lose a life so you gotta be on guard at all times, but still its fun for being that way. The only thing that would add to the sweetness of this game would be a save feature like zombies ate my neighbors or the lost vikings then this would probably be an ultimate powerhouse. Really like the arcade features. Word.

Sunset Riders for the Sega Genesis is one game I would recommend for your Sega Genesis collection. While it is not like the arcade version, it is a good game. The game primarily is set up slightly different than the arcade because you can only play as two different characters instead of the four players that the arcade version offers. Secondly, this game only allows up to two players instaed of four players. The stages are constructed differently too. In the arcade version, you would face a boss at the end of each most of the stages & there were no bonus stages. In the Genesis version the first stage, you rescue a woman, the second, you face a boss, then play a bonus stage, & so on. The only major disappointment is the lack of sounds that this version has. The arcade had more voices in it, where the Genesis only got a few of the sounds & voices found in the arcade. However, this game is harder to find than most, so it will generally cost more than usual. If you find it cheap, my recommendation is to pounce on it. I seriously recommend this game if you're a collector. It is fun to play as well.
