Sunset Riders
Anyone here play this? If so, which version?
I play the SNES one. In one of those moods right now where I'll play it nightly, sometimes more than once. I can beat hard mode pretty easily, but Chief Wigwam/Scalpem still poses a sizable challenge.
I like this game a lot. One of the greatest side scrollers I've ever played, to be sure.
How about you guys?

That being said, I play it and I love it. It's quick and fun to play through when you're bored, and it can be addictive.
Actually, as far as Genesis goes, I can't think of a better co-op game than Sunset Riders besides Gunstar Heroes.

Damn man, I've been trying to get this CIB on SNES for under $70 for the past year. It kills me when I watch Genny auctions go in the $15-$20 range, but I want it on SNES damnit. So no I haven't played it, but it has been on my watch list for awhile.
That's odd, when I moved here recently my sunset riders box was in the bottom of my closet and I was excited to find it. It had probably been in that box for about 2 years. Everybody told me it wa a pretty common game to get CIB.
They took an otherwise boring western theme (note: I say boring in the sense that the suspense/redemption genre does NOT translate well to action arcade games), threw it into a blender with Final Fight and a side-scrolling shmup, and made an out-on-the-limb classic.

That's a quote for life. I want it in my own gravestone.
Mexicans + VG = WIN
wigwam is the death of me ...
One of my favorite Super Nintendo games. Chief Wigwam is ridiculously difficult though, I can hardly ever dodge his projectile attack from above. Is there a strategy for that part?
I find that his knives are a lot easier to avoid when you're in a corner and he's on the opposite side. Then you can just jump over them most of the time. Aside from that, all you can really do is either try to get away or stand in between two knives. Also worth noting is that if you're close enough, with both gun upgrades (at least, with the shotgun users), you can hit him while crouching if he's on the ground.
Is there a strategy for that part?
I find that if I stay on the right side of the screen, and make sure he stays on the left, it makes things a little easier. Inevitably, he'll make it uncomfortably close to you, of course, but as long as he isn't on top of you, it'll be fine. Your que is when he's crouching, at which point, if you have the Golden Badge power up, just press and hold the fire button and you'll be able to inflict some sizable damage before he flies back up again. Rinse and repeat.
He's possible to beat without the Golden Badge, but it's a lot harder.
Anyone like Wild Guns? It's another Western Shooter game but done in a 3rd person view with Cowboys and Robots. It's a blast!

Yes, and Wild Guns makes Sunset Riders look cheap. That one is even more stupidly hard to acquire as a CIB.

No kidding. Apparently WG goes for about $60 or so now and Sunset Riders (SNES) goes for $20-30. I could have sworn Sunset Riders was more expensive than that..
