Most-played Sunset Riders games
Sunset Riders
Super Nintendo (SNES)Run and Gun
Sunset Riders is a side-scrolling run-and-gun action game developed and published by Konami for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993. It places bounty hunters Billy and Cormano in a stylized American West filled with outlaws, bandits, and dangerous bosses. The game combines horizontal shooting, jumping, climbing, and close-range hazards across a compact set of stages. This SNES version is a streamlined adaptation of the arcade game, with two-player support and a smaller selection of stages and playable characters. It was well received for its colorful presentation, responsive controls, comic Western tone, and cooperative arcade-style action.
Sunset Riders
Sega GenesisRun-and-gun
Sunset Riders is a Western-themed run-and-gun action game developed and published by Konami. The Sega Genesis version places players in the role of bounty hunters who cross frontier towns, forests, mines, and forts while pursuing a succession of outlaw bosses. Its side-scrolling play combines fast shooting, jumping, mounted sequences, and short platforming challenges. The Genesis release is a streamlined adaptation of the arcade game, with fewer playable characters and a reduced player count, but it preserves the central bounty-hunting structure and much of the arcade-style pacing. Critics and players generally remembered it for responsive controls, colorful presentation, humorous Western imagery, and demanding action, although the home version was considered less expansive than the original arcade release.

| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
