I need your help!
Konami released a great title for Genesis/Megadrive during the mid '90.. two cowboys shooting around and running on bulls: one of them was a Mexican fatty guy, while the other was some cool-looking blond guy.
I remember the final boss had a bulletproof vest, so that in the middle of the battle he fooled you with a fake death. I want it again, help me! THX!

Best Megadrive games? just to make the post longer..

That game is Sunset Riders and it is very common, I don't see why it is "lost". The Megadrive one was good, but the Snes version was much better and closer to the arcade.

I think what he means is that the actual JPN Mega Drive version of Sunset Riders ~Complete~ is a bitch to find even on EBAY, and when you do find it, even if the cart itself is in gamer's condition but the box and insert are mint... you're looking at spending in the ball park of $185 + on it. I still need the JPN version {Complete} for my collection. Great game though for what it is, worlds better than the over hyped Red Dead Revolver. :annoyed:

AHHAHAHAAHAHAH!!!!

The Mega Drive version was 'GOOD' ??? :lol: :spock:

It's not even decent to start with.

Come on ! How come a crap like this can be a decent game ? It has only 4 stages whilst the Arcade and Snes versions have 8. It has 2 playable characters whilst the other versions have 4.

Lost game ? yes indeed ! Konami lost their minds while doing this port. They have lost 50% of the game on the Mega Drive.

Well, I won't have to kick myself for not playing the Genesis version anymore.

Only the SNES version I played.

Bit of a bastard that it never got a Super Famicom version, although in theory, with some photoshop skillz you could make a Jap version....

To your surprise, Mega Drive version is much funnier to play than SNES one.......
Magazine reviews say it, I agree also.

Damn now I'm glad I never bought it. I'll look for it on the Super Famicom then. *Thanks for that tidbit of Intel.
