Overview
Description

Sunset Riders is a classic side‑scrolling run‑and‑gun arcade title from Konami, released in 1991. Players become bounty hunters racing across the American frontier, battling bandits, gunslingers, and horse thieves to claim big rewards. The game supports both solo play and cooperative multiplayer, letting friends team up to take down notorious outlaws together, all with vibrant pixel art and a catchy retro soundtrack.

The Last Bounty Hunter is a classic FMV shooter that puts you in the boots of one of the last bounty hunters. Using a mouse or compatible light gun, you aim and fire at outlaws appearing on a full‑motion video backdrop, protecting the innocent and helping the sheriff clean up the town. Designed in the spirit of Mad Dog McCree, the game offers simple point‑and‑shoot gameplay with a Western storyline, delivering quick reflex challenges on the PlayStation 3 platform.
