Sunset Riders 10” vinyl reissue joins iam8bit 20th Anniversary Collection
Originally published in 2017, the Sunset Riders ten-inch vinyl reissue is now part of the iam8bit 20th Anniversary Collection. The LP ships from the publisher, along with distributor iam8bit Japan & Asia, featuring music by Motoaki Furukawa of Konami Kukeiha Club, pressed on orange crush vinyl.

Konami's Western-themed side-scrolling run-and-gun game arrived in arcades in 1991, starring gunslinging bounty hunters Steve, Billy Cool, Bob, and Cormano Wild. Arcade Archives Sunset Riders is currently available for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, published by Hamster Corporation.

From the iam8bit product page:
Years ago, iam8bit and Konami joined forces to create the Sunset Riders 10” Vinyl Soundtrack. Like the arcade hit itself, it was an instant cult classic; 24 tracks of 16-bit Wild West chiptune beats by the wizards at KONAMI KUKEIHA CLUB, mastered especially for vinyl on a “clear smoke” 10 inch LP. The release became an important moment in iam8bit history, and consequently, the history of video game vinyl as a whole.

Now, Steve, Billy Cool, Bob, and Cormano Wild are ready to ride once again. This is the Sunset Riders 10” Vinyl Soundtrack, reissued and freshly pressed on Orange Crush vinyl. All 24 tracks are here again, in all their glory. Plus, we’ve updated the original pixel-powered album art from Drew Wise, presenting it on a fresh die cut bullet hole-riddled jacket. It’s all part of the iam8bit 20th Anniversary Collection.
