A side-scrolling [[Shoot'Em Up]] released for the arcades in 1991, ''Sunset Riders'' is one of several four-player arcade games that [[Konami]] released in the wake of their success with ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the Arcade Game (Video Game)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the Arcade Game]]''. The game centers around four [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]] (Steve, Bob, Billy, and Cormano) who must hunt down various fugitives during the [[Wild West]] to collect monetary rewards. Essentially a [[Recycled in Space|Wild West-themed]] version of ''[[Contra]]'', as its director Hideyuki Tsujimoto worked on both arcade ''Contra'' games.
