For instance, sometimes you walked as one of four handsome heroes. The Sunset Riders was an arcade game that boasted more than just running and gunning. “Run To Avoid Getting Killed” and Blowing Up Soon”? What’s not to like about a game that gives you concise life advice like: Keep running and gunning to the right till all the bad guys are bullet-soaked, you’re rich and you ride off into the sunset. The game had a simple premise: you’re a bounty hunter. Now you know where some companies got that business model from. It was a time when games milked us of our money, we couldn't take the games home and there was no way to play but pay.
The Sunset Riders was released in 1991 by Konami back when they were more Jedi Order and less First Order ( ed - Haha!).

While TMNT the arcade game, in various forms is a good play, next time, grab your six shooter, your ten gallon hat, and of course your SNES, and give Sunset Riders the Fair Shake. Thankfully, you can’t shoot each other… save that for Double Dragon or River City Ransom. My girlfriend loves this game, and I love blasting away with Cormano’s shotgun. Good thing, as it’s hard for me to find three other people willing to play the same game at the same time. The arcade game, depending on the cabinet, offers two or four simultaneous players, however the home conversions only offer two.
