The Co-Op Beat Em Up Retrospective

  Harken back to my golden age of gaming, a time when the Sega Genesis and SuperNES were head to head in the console wars.  There was a game genre that sparked my love of co-op, one that seems to have all but disappeared.  From Altered Beast to Golden Axe, Streets of Rage to Double Dragon - the co-op beat em up games were the cream of the crop in co-op experiences.  The concept of these games was simple - partner up with a friend and punch, kick and attack everything in your path.  They were challenging, fun, and over the top; but once 3D games became popular they all but disappeared.

Co-Op Classics: Sunset Riders

For Co-Op Classics today, we dig into the treasure trove of co-op games released in arcades in the 90s.  Sunset Riders came fairly early on, being released in 1991.  It was ported to the SNES and Genesis as well.  Sunset Riders is a charming game, for sure.  The art is bright and colorful, the characters are fun and unique from each other, and the gameplay has enough variety to keep things interesting.
