Whoever ends up with a power-up or two will always have a greater advantage and in an era where you’re playing for the most kills (which leads to a higher score on the leaderboard), this was important… and still is. Should you die you’ll respawn instantly but without any perks, which is something that becomes tough towards the final levels.
The difference between playing as a single player and with a friend is that you’ll now be fighting for those weapon power-ups like being able to shoot with both guns, instead of one, and for rapid fire. If you have a second Mega Drive controller your best buddy can join you in all the action. That’s partly what makes Sunset Riders such a classic. The good thing is that your bullets won’t harm your co-op partner either. It passes by any other living beings that aren’t harmful, though you’ll have to jump on top of bulls as they will trample you otherwise.
You can literally hold in your shoot button and just aim as you walk, as your bullets will only down bad guys and never run dry. As soon as the first song kicks in it’ll light a sense of euphoria that a few other games in this industry can. It’s a good thing because you’ll have little time to be bothered about the flimsy story anyway. Through their adventures, they will be on the lookout for a reward for each bounty they catch and that is as in-depth as the story gets. Billy Cool and Cormano Wild are bounty hunters in it for one thing and one thing only – money. It didn’t take long to arrive on the console and when it did its popularity exploded onto the scene to a generation who perhaps missed out on the game in arcades.
Sunset Riders started its life in the arcades and, as made popular at the time, arcade game ports were a big deal on SEGA’s Mega Drive. It’s something that remains the same 26 years later. It brought with it the simplicity that made games of this generation so beloved, the ease of picking it up and playing for instant joy and satisfaction. Before the arrival of Red Dead Redemption, there was another game that ruled the west.
