For me, it's got to be:
Red Dead Revolver and when I get my copy, probably Stranger.

How's about you guys?

 

[Jonnyram]

There is only one:

Sunset Riders

 

[UbiSoftologist]

A hybrid of RDR and GTA would be my favorite.

 

[Greenpanda]

I haven't really played much in the way of them, although I did reasonably enjoy Wild Arms 3

Sunset Riders

Fucking awesome. Still a MAME favorite for my friends and me.

How does Wild Arms 3 play? I've always been intrigued by it, but I've never seen it on sale anywhere here (England - land of things released very late).

Red Dead Revolver is in a league of its own, as far as I'm concerned. Most Western-themed games merely contain a few Western influences, while RDR is 100 % Western.

^^^was wondering when someone else would finally mention that game.

There is only one:

Sunset Riders

Indeed, that game rocked hard on arcades and consoles.

Still though, can't call it the absolute best since it ties dead even with Outlaws for pc.

Lone Ranger for NES one of my old favs.

 

[aku:jiki]

What is there to choose from, really?

Guess I'll go with Stranger, and Gun.Smoke as a distant second. RDR was ok too.

oddworld stranger. rox

I personally thought Red Dead Revolver was fucking great. I seriously don't know why that game gets flak, the action, atmosphere, art style, and music are all fantastic and fit the theme perfectly, and it's just such a fun game.

Sunset Riders, of course. I really want to get Oddworld Stranger, too.

 

[ToxicAdam]

I have wanted a Wild West RPG/MMORPG for the last decade now. Sigh.


When I say RPG .. I mean Fallout/Wasteland clone ... not Wild Arms.

 

[sidnotcrazy]

Sunset Riders (arcade/home)
Cheyenne (arcade)
Gunsmoke (home)

*I haven't played it yet, but Stranger looks awesome.

and if it counts Rising Zan

 

[sprsk]

THANK YOU NICE BOYS

 

[Johnny Konami]

Awesome game.

Not sure if it counts, but the western stuff and dialogue in Far East of Eden: Kabuki Den is hilarious.

 

[cs060mk2]

Blood Bros. Its essentially Cabal 2 in a western setting and its fukkin great! Play it on MAME.

Sunset Riders was so fscking fab. Still a damn shame they didn't made a sequel. I've got it on SNES and Mega Drive (Genises), and I'm still playing it once in a while.

Outlaws was also a pretty cool game a few years ago, made by Lucas Arts. The game wasn't that pretty though, but the gameplay was way better other shooters at that time.

Isn't 'cowboys of moo mesa' some kind of sequel to sunset riders?

IMO:

WA2 < WA3 < WA1

I'd pick it up anyway if you're a fan of Wild ARMs period.

Gunfright (ultimate) ruled on MSX and Speccy.
There was a Blood Bros/cabal clone on the Snes, which was pretty cool (had a steampunk-western setting) by Jaleco iirc.
Stranger's is great.
Also Red Dead Revolver was much better than i would have thought.
