Hamster has revealed several classic old-school coin-ops headed to its ever-growing Arcade Archives range. This next batch includes a couple of true gems from the golden age of the coin-op.
Leading the pack is Konami’s side-scrolling shooter Sunset Riders. This banger was launched in 1991 and was a smash hit in arcades worldwide. Supporting up to four-players, Sunset Riders is remembered for its garishly coloured visuals, awesome soundtrack, and charismatic bosses. I played this game to death – even owning a Sunset Riders PCB at one point – and am looking forward to taking down Simon Greedwell, Sir Richard Rose, and The Smith Bros. for the 473rd time.
Let’s see that intro again, for old times sake…
