SNES - Good FX and Loads of fairly impressive voice samples. Mega Drive - Generally this is like the SNES version but in slightly lower quality. SNES - Very high quality tunes that fit the theme of the game well, many of which are quite catchy and memorable. Mega Drive - Like the SNES this has perfect scrolling, but there are also more layers of parallax. Standing animations are much worse than before as half the actions have been cut. The walking looks a bit stiffer here, and for the most part there's fewer frames and less attention to detail going on (for example the gun doesn't recoil when you shoot like it does on the SNES). SNES - Pretty good animation across the board, the standing animations are especially noteworthy as they contain a lot of frames and many different actions.

Mega Drive - It's not bad, but there's an instantly noticeable drop in the number of colours being used onscreen in comparison to the SNES version, and the colours that are there don't fit as well (The skin colour isn't quite skin coloured, the wood colour isn't quite wood coloured etc). There are loads of colours being used, and the colour choices manage to look relatively close to those of the arcade version too. Other than that the view has changed from being a little to the side to being straight on. The last important thing worth mentioning is that the textures are definitely worse here, much of the time there isn't really any ground texture at all and the wood texture for the houses and such is noticeably cruder.

Some of the levels have an awful lot of effort put into them, and actually have better detail than in the SNES version, a good example of this would be the second stage on the train, which has a helluva lot more detail going on in the backgrounds, and superior parallax (there's even foreground parallax with cacti), on the other hand though some of the other stages (such as the Indian level) are so scrappy that they look unfinished, with poor textures, fuzzy sprites and graphical elements that generally just don't blend into each other as well as they should. Mega Drive - When looking at the base detail and effects what we have is very uneven.

One issue I do feel is worth mentioning though is that many aspects of the graphics have been sanitized, the women are now wearing long dresses instead of the questionable attire they had on before, the American Indians have been removed and replaced with the generic cowboy sprites, and your character is no longer set on fire and burned to death. SNES - All things considered the graphics look great, obviously it's been downgraded from the arcade version somewhat but it still retains the look very well, with pretty good textures, a lot of environment details like barrels, bucket's and trough's and some excellent water effects (especially the river in the 1st level which looks very high quality)
