Sunset Riders is a side-scrolling run and gun video game developed and released by Konami as an arcade video game in 1991. It is set in the American Old West, where the player(s) take control of bounty hunters who are seeking the rewards offered for various criminals.
The coin-op version was released in two variants: a two-player version and a four-player version. Home console versions of Sunset Riders were released for the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1992 and for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993, to a positive reception. An emulated version of the arcade original was released in 2020 by Hamster Corporation (a company that owned the rights to Nihon Bussan, UPL, Video System, NMK, Allumer and Athena) for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch as part of their Arcade Archives series.
