Not as good as the Genesis version.

To start off their are two versions of this game, the SNES version and the Genesis version.
This game looks terrible in comparison with the Genesis version,
less colors, terrible sprites and ugly sounding music.
The only plus would probably be that every boss has their own little voice intro but that really isn't important.
The snes version is so much harder, you die in about 4 or 5 shots, period. In the genesis version you have continues and more bonus games. One downfall is that you can only choose between two characters on the gens version, but i think that they are the best characters of the four.
Skip the SNES version and go straight for the Gens game.
Best of luck too you.
An excellent retro SNES game

The first time I played this game was at an arcade when I was 7. The place was set up so all the machines had unlimited continues, which was really nice. Anyways, 3 of my friends and I literally spent hours just playing Sunset Riders through again and again. It's that fun.
The thing you have to understand about this game is that it's a simple side-scrolling action game, like maybe TMNT, but it doesn't try to be anything more! It's just simple, fun, classic gaming. Don't go in expecting it on the caliber of Zelda or Final Fantasy. But it's just as fun, or to me because I have the memmories to associate it with, it's more fun! And it's cheap too. So just get it.
Fun Game

I played this game when I was 7 or 8 and I used to love it. The game is challenging but still very fun.
Uh?

Short Game. Ugly graphics too, but for some reason I found it oddly fun. I donno, maybe it's just me.
Pretty dumb, you could skip this one

Sunset Riders is just like any of the TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtls) games except this one has cowboys and it's set in the old wild wild west.
You play as 4 different sherriffs (Bob, Billy, Steve? and Cormano) and your objective is to take down the most evil and dangerous men in the wild wild west.
O.k. this is what makes this game stupid, the enemy to hero ratio is completely off. There are always a lot more enemies than heroes on the screen for the most part and that makes this easy game a little confusing and a little too challenging seeing as how if you get hit like once or twice, you die and when a screen full of bad guys shoots 8 bullets in all different directions, it's kind of hard to didge.
Turtles in Time is a much better 2 player game but if you're looking for a slight change of pace, here's your chance with this cowboy shoot em up.
