Sunset Riders (Mega Drive)

The Genesis version of  Sunset Riders  features the most changes made to the game between the two home

 versions of the game. Out of the four main characters from the

 arcade game, only Billy and Cormano are featured. The two characters in the Genesis version were given surnames that they originally didn't have in the arcade version (Billy Cool and Cormano Wild). The controls are identical to the arcade version aside for addition of two shooting buttons instead of just one: one button allows the player to walk and shoot at the same time, while the other shoot button keeps the character still when pressed down, allowing the player to change their aim only.

Only four of the eight bosses from the arcade version are featured, and each of the four chapters are divided into two stages. The power-up icons have also been replaced as well. Unlike the other versions, the player can cause a dynamite stick to explode by shooting it. To access the bonus stages, the player must collect a Star-shaped item located in either stage of each chapter. The bonus stages differs from the ones in the arcade version, in which the player chases after a moving wagon on a horseback, while the woman in the wagon tosses bonus coins and extra lives at the player's path.

In addition to the standard game mode, the Genesis version features a two-player versus mode. The players must shoot each other until one of the players runs out of health.
