Sunset Riders

Konami's 1990 title Sunset Riders is a side-scrolling run-and-gun themed after American westerns. Players are tasked with defeating a boss identified with a "WANTED" sign at the onset of each level, plowing through gangs of bandits by leaping over second floor railings and shooting in 8 directions. The game is presented with a comical over-the-top sensibility, keeping things interesting up until the very end.
