one of the best western games ever produced for the arcades, a magnificent classic.

I realize that old games have music that evokes strong emotions, not just there to give a vague background mood. I am playing this video not even to watch it, but just to bask in the GLORY of the music while i work.

23:37 The timing of that is amazing.

Definitely one of the all-time great arcade games imo.

Before Red Dead Redemption, there was this...

Masterpiece. More fun than 99% of modern games.

damn.... he walks into a brothel and the prostitute paid HIM! savage.

90's Red Dead Redemption

Favorite arcade game ever. Any time I walked into an arcade, I had to look for this game but it was hard to find. Could only find one down the Jersey shore. Great memories.

I'll never forget the soundtrack whenever you defeat a boss. Almost 20 years since I played this game and I still whistle it every now and then. :)

Man I rocked this game back in the 90's. Still my face upon till today.

I played this game in the arcades soooo many times I became a master....but this finish?perfection...perfect timing loved it

This takes me back to when I was 7 or 8 and my parents were in a bowling league. Me and my brother didn't really care about bowling but the bowling alley had an arcade with The Adams Family Pinball and Sunset Riders. We used to play it all of the time but we never got past the second boss. Only after our cousin got it on the SNES did we find out how much of the game we never saw.

Bury me with my money.

Konami : I know, let's do Contra, but with Cowboys and Indians instead of aliens, then let's make an awesome soundtrack and make it 4 player! That'll do then! Forgot Red Dead Redemption, the best Cowboy and Indian game ever made is this!

Simon Greedwell is obviously the breakout star of this game, but Sir Richard Rose is underrated as a final boss. He's really hard to hit in his final form and when you finally kill him all he says is "I SAY, A BIT OF BAD LUCK"

Juegos simples y divertidos como este siempre serán recordados 👏 👏

that was our child heros in the arcades....the virtual wild west,i played with cormano,how i miss that times....

I remember playing this as a kid at the arcade, and then asking for it for Christmas when it came out on the SNES, I didn't get it though. I now realize why I liked this game so much, it was basically Contra with cowboys.

I know a lot of people brag about how the 1980s was the decade of music, but when it comes to video games, the 1990s arcade was the golden age.

Steve's too cool for reloading.

wow

The Japanese clearly love cowboy culture, and it shows here! Gotta love that first theme! 💘 9:51 Best Boss Fight! 13:34 Best Music!

If you beat the 5th Boss using Cormano, he will swap out his sombrero.

Oh god ! the nostalgia on this one is too strong 😳😳😳 One of my favorite game in my childhood days

One of my fave games used to play on Sega. I can never forget this.

I can't tell you the number of hours I wasted on this arcade! Good times.

They had a Sunset Riders machine in the local video store where I grew up. Me and my cousin were so proud the day we clocked it. Good times :)

Wow!really love this game when I was a kid😍😍😍,thanks for bringing back those memories

"Alright ma'am, we won't shoot him!" What a gentleman.

I had first played this by means of MAME back in 2006 as Cormano, and as of this day, he's still my favorite out of the characters you are in Sunset Riders. For years I'd been yearning to see the arcade game in person. My dreams came true when I learned the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, NY got a Sunset Riders machine in their eGameRevolution (which talks about the history of video games and has all sorts of arcade games, home gaming consoles, and that sort of thing) sometime in August 2018. When I went there in October 2018, surely I was right - there was a Sunset Riders machine in the exhibit, but being the fourth player (being Cormano in my case) is a pain in the ass. Hawkeye Hatfield Hank (Stage 2 boss) was too hard for me to defeat, even when I save the tokens from the Strong Museum so I don't have to waste dollar bills on tokens for the arcade/pinball games, mostly because there are kids of all ages there (including babies and toddlers), and the slightest disruption from a kid crying can cause me to lose concentration, and I have a short fuse due to my autism and bipolar, thus if I was to be bested by Hawkeye Hatfield Hank in Sunset Riders, I just let the game end and walk away from the cacophony of a crying kid. When the coronavirus pandemic caused the Strong Museum to close and whatnot, I was trying to keep my spirits up despite the hard times that have hit us lately. In times of despair, I thank Hamster/Konami for releasing Sunset Riders on Arcade Archives to play on my Switch so I can play it when I'm on the go or in the comfort of my own home :-D

One of the best arcade games. Make you chuckle just to play it.

11:11 Best stage Song in the game.. shout out to the Smith Brothers!

i hope they make a new sunset riders again and other classic games.

Wow...I remember this game fondly! I could never beat the horseback riding level...one hit kill and it frustrates me to no end I couldn’t make it and only was allowed 2 quarters.

You in heap big trouble, Me in heap big trouble.... We need a remake of this game really. 😎

I got goosebumps when that guitar strum happened at the end of the opening. 👍

Yo, I’m really happy for the other video game intros, but Sunset Riders has one of the best intros of all time! One of the best intros of all time!

Sir Richard Rose looks like David Bowe.

When I lived in Harborne, there was a fish and chip shop and it had this game and when I was little and we brought fish and chips, I always made sure that I had some money to play this while my parents went to order our food, I love the stampede bits and the horse riding bits.

Konami was the best at everything! I loved playing this game in the arcades back in my early 20s. I actually beat it once.

A timeless gem.

"Bury me with my money"

COMING TO THE SWITCH, BABY

SCHLAUCHI is my favorite longplay gamer...great job per usual.

Um dos melhores games que já joguei, e ainda por cima o cara joga pra cacete!!! Parabéns ganhou meu like!!!

Epic moments of gaming, Cormano taking El Grego sombrero!

Man whoever played this game is a friggin' maniac!

This game was very hard. I could never finish it with a single coin maybe 5-6. But this man even didn't die single time! hats off!

This was a great game. Thanks for posting.

I remember this great game now. I haven't played this for 26 years! lol fuuuck time flies.

I’ve been looking for this one for years!!!!!

23:37 Holy shit the timing on that last bullet bro

what beautiful memories .. ahhhhhhh

gowd! its almost 10 years when i play this on videogame hahahaha love the four brothers

Awesome game, there were so many great arcade games that came out in 1991....

I remember playing this at a Roundtable Pizza near where I grew up

Sick bonus play!

sometimes I wonder if they actually made a Sunset Riders movie back in the 90's how would was the cast ? well, my guess are: Steve: Kurt Russell or Robin Williams Billy: Viggo Mortensen Bob: Bruce Campbell Cormano: Bob Hoskins bosses: Simon Greedwell: Pat Hingle Hawkeye Hank Hetfield: Michael Biehn Dark Horse: Dolph Lundgren The Smith Bros: Sam Elliott & Tom Selleck El Greco: Dan Hedaya Paco Loco: Brian Glover Sir Richard Rose: Crispin Glover

The four horsemen!

Your final shot is so cool !

Oh man, this game is so niceee 😎✨ Subscribed 👊🔥

Me ready for Pow Wow. Awesome run'n gun from Konami!!!!

Mestre absoluto!!!

one of the best games i played when i was a kid

Heh, you had perfect timing on the killing shot of the British gent. Even got a gun spin in.

Much better than the SNES and Genesis versions.

Kept trying to remember my favorite cowboy multi-player side scroller. I dismissed screen shots at first because I didn't remember the game being so colorful but sure enough this that game. Memories can be weird like that.

I miss this game so much!

When Contra goes western lol loved this cool western arcade game haven't played it since 92 😥

I remember seeing this Arcade game at my local Cici's Pizza back in circa 2001-2002!

Jogo realmente muito bom jogava muito marcou minha infância

17:09 Shoots the crap out of the dude Girl appears after minutes of shooting:"Don't shoot my brother he is only following orders" Steve:"aight mam, we won't shoot him'

Sunset Riders eventually paved the way of the legendary RED DEAD REDEMPTION series.

My uncle use to own an arcade and had thos game. I've been looking for it for years

I remember playing this as a kid with my dad, good times

You are awesome!

such a great game! Still love it!

Seriously awesome gameplay!!!

Love the first stage theme forever

Remember this one at the arcade of the fair. Great game.

Hey Konami, maybe lay of the Metal Gear a bit and release an HD version of THIS game. Just a thought.

Solamente Konami pudo hacer semejante obra maestra

Great play through

Just announced for Switch as part of the Arcade Archives series :D

The nostalgia man!

What malone downvotes videos like this? It delivers exactly what it promised. It made zero false promises. Do they criticize the manner in which the player plays the game? Do they just not like the game? If so, why did they deliberately show up here knowing they didn't like the game?

I loved to play this videogame

awesome kickass game.. gotta love the purple bullets :)

Love This Game

awesome man!

Never once was shot.. Bravo

this with snes games like mario world and mame32 arcade games like metal slug IS MY CHILDHOOOOOOOOD

This game was so much fun

Que buen juego, que recuerdos..

"I say, bit of bad luck!" Yeah... Bad luck... *shoots the rose*

I used to play this game in a local cafe on a arcade machine. My Nanna would take me and give me a handful of 20 pieces whilst she had a cup of tea. Well over 20 year ago that now, where has the time gone!

17:10 IRIS...IIIRIIISS IRIS! WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!

OMG I remember this game when I was so young!

I love Cormano and his pink sombrero!!!
