#SUNSET RIDERS SOUNDTRACK FULL#
So which hoe down hero can ride all night and which has nothing but a dusty trail? Which Rodeo Romeo has a full chamber and who is just firing blanks? Which six shooting superstar has a life destroying STD? It’s time to play the cowboy selection game!īilly – Despite his best efforts to look straight (brown hair, guns, blue jeans) his pink top is giving away all his secrets. That said it certainly passes the time to imagine the character select screen as a fetish club where you are trying to find a young cowboy for a night of rodeo fun.
Players are given a choice of four characters, none of them appear particularly heterosexual in this post brokeback mountain world but at the time Graham Norton had yet to invent homosexuality so no one bothered to mention it. Sunset Riders is essentially a Contra/Probotector clone with high levels or ‘rootin tootin, fancy shootin’ and the kind of amazing racial stereotyping that only the Japanese don’t find offensive. Ladies and gentleman I present Sunset Riders. More importantly the quintessential western game came out in 1993. That’s when you aren’t attempting to complete the game crippling difficult mission that always marks the halfway points of the Grand theft auto games. I’m sure it’s very good in it’s own way but I don’t hold out much hope for it myself, mainly because it’s a Rockstar game and so will inevitably feature a blocky man walking very slowly around a needlessly large field while the same three NPC’s constantly fade in and out of his range of vision.
So now that Red Dead Redemption is out everyone is saying “What took them so long to make a cowboy game?” and sighing very loudly.
It is with this in mind that R.LaFemme presents yet another example of what the Japanese do best, distort Western history for the sake of flashy entertainent. I think I speak for everyone, with the exception of the Native Americans when I say that the American West was an era of great prosperity and non violence towards indiginous tribes.
