Streets of Rage Remake for Windows released photo

The independent game developers at Bombergames have released their re-imagining of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive classic, Streets of Rage.

Streets of Rage Remake for Windows was built from the ground up to pay homage to the original series. There are dozens of reasons why any fan of old-school style beat 'em ups should stop reading this immediately and go download the game before Sega calls out the legal hounds. We're talking redrawn sprites; remixes of the original '90s cornball soundtrack; eight playable characters (with two secret unlockables); customizable sprites; and more. You'll even notice multiple unlockables, including a two-player volleyball mode.

I would have alerted everyone to this sooner, but I just spent and hour and forty-five minutes of my day sucker-punching punks, kangaroos, and dudes on jet packs. The team has done a tremendous job bringing this project to life and with classic gameplay like this, plus a slew of unlockables, don't be surprised if you find this on a few of the Destructoid team's upcoming Games of the Week. It sure as hell beats Urban Champion ... and it's $5 cheaper.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go eat an entire cooked turkey I found inside of this wooden crate I rabbit punched earlier; I'm feeling a bit under the weather.

I have a lot of good memories about this game. I used to play it on genesis with a guy who had formally been a hobo riding the rails for 20 years. Now he's living off the gov't and anti-psychotic meds. Good times.

Wario67:

I'd imagine there would be bugs -- I don't think this is "final." For the record, I didn't get stuck anywhere, but I definitely was thrown off of that God damned elevator three or four times.

has anyone tried using the xbox360 controller yet?

I've been using a PSX Dual Shock connected to my PC with an adapter. Works fine. I don't see why the 360 controller wouldn't work, although I've never used one on a PC.

SEGA won't give two shits about it. There's been Sonic fangames been made for years and years and they haven't shut anything down yet, I've a nice feeling that SoR:R is safe.

i cant seem to use my game pad on streets of rage also how do you save a game
liljchosenone's Avatar - Comment posted on 04/12/2007 23:54
liljchosenone
you cant save whenever you want to. you have to edit a sprite, profile, or even unlock something for it to save. it save automatically anyway. it saves your play time.

Hi,

First of all- GREAT GAME !!! I was a huge fan of the series and know it's like a dream come true- playing all 3 SOR games in one with enhanced sounds, graphic and quite a nice story :) ! But there is a problem...I have installed SORR and i seem to have a problem with the save state. I have chosen Save Auto, but if i quit the game and then start it again it doesn't load (even thought i have reached level 5). Could you please tell me how can i use the load option (in the instructions it said that it's supposed to load automatically ...).
Thank you very much.

Mihai
