help Sunset Riders FAQ
Who are the four playable bounty hunters in Sunset Riders?
The arcade version lets players control Steve, Billy Cool, Bob, and Cormano. Billy and Steve use revolvers, while Bob and Cormano carry shotguns.
Does Sunset Riders support four-player co-op?
The original full-size arcade cabinet supports four simultaneous players, with each control position assigned a character. A two-player arcade revision allows each player to choose a bounty hunter.
How different are the Genesis and SNES versions from the arcade game?
The Genesis version reduces the selection to Billy and Cormano and contains only four substantially altered stages. The SNES port retains all four bounty hunters and the full stage structure, although some arcade content was censored or changed.
Where can I play the arcade version without owning the cabinet?
Hamster released Sunset Riders through its Arcade Archives line for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. That release is based on Konami's 1991 arcade game rather than the cut-down Genesis adaptation.
