It is set in the wild west. The game was later ported to the [[Sega Mega Drive|Mega Drive/Genesis]] in [[1992]], and to the [[SNES]] in [[1993]]. | ||
''Sunset Riders'' is similar to other [[run and gun]]s, such as Konami's ''[[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 differentiated: Steve and Billy use revolvers while Bob and Cormano are armed with shotguns. The shotguns 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. | ''Sunset Riders'' is similar to other [[run and gun]]s, such as Konami's ''[[Contra]]'', but with less emphasis on jumping and a greater focus on shooting.

At the beginning of each level the player is shown a wanted poster, showing the criminal, the reward for stopping them, and the cliché line "Wanted dead or alive". | ||
