Because either you don’t have these sets of controls set-up correctly in your MAME installation, or you don’t know their exact layout like me. To chose a character, all you have to do is to pop up a coin into the appropriate slot and press a button on the appropriate set of controls.Īnd that’s pretty straightforward on the real deal arcade, but it’s a rather retarded solution in MAME. Because, you see, Sunset Riders do not feature a traditional character selection as we know it today, but take a rather different approach instead: four coin slots and four sets of controls, one for each character. Yet, if you are playing alone, it’s also the point where you can get lost. When the game boots up, a character selection screen pops-up, and here you’re friends can join.

In fact, depending on the version of the game you’re playing, up to 4 players can play simultaneously on a single machine (note: ROM archive available here is the 4 player version). And dying costs you coins Sunset Riders do not feature a limited number of lives, as long as you pop-in some more money into the machine, you can die as often as you want to.īut the bright side is, you don’t have to die alone.

Well, not really, not with the power-ups increasing its fire rate, anyway. And sooner or later you’ll start losing lives faster than your trusty old revolver can shoot. But as you play along, the game steps it up. Now, this all sounds easy, and at the beginning it is. Each level represents a particular manhunt, with the subject of the bounty waiting for you at the end of it as a boss you have to defeat. The game is split into several levels (interlaid with ‘bonus stage’ minigames, triggered by reaching a certain amount of points). Sunset Riders are a wonderful western themed side scrolling shooter, in which you take the role of one of the four wild-west bounty hunters, Steve, Billy, Bob and Cormano, whose lifestyle is pretty much as tense and action packed as one would expect from a bounty hunter.
