I already have written here TWO threads on it, complete with download links and meticulous analysis! Still, though, there are people around here who don't even know what this is, let alone to have played this wonderful masterpiece! So, here i am again, this time please DON'T let the thread DIE! Spread the word and everyone, especially old gamers, get it, play it, mod it, burn it!
***STREETS OF RAGE REMAKE***
Amateur group of people called 'Bomberlink Games', had been working for seven years straight on this project, before. Making their own engine from scratch, complete with physics and level editor, a rearranged and remixed soundtrack and a revival of the streets of rage series, in one huge MEGAMIX! It is not a mere remake, though, mind you... It has ports for other OS as well! Within it, there are ALL players from all games, plus a newly made character exclusively for the remake, Electra and Mr.X as playables and each and every one of the different versions of the SAME character, based on their corresponding iteration of the game they appeared in, with different stats and movesets tied to them! For example, you have 3 different models of Axel and Blaze, 2 different models of Skate and 1 model of Zan, Max and Adam. There are also the secret characters too, from the Bare Knuckle series (japanese original), like Ash, Roo and Shiva; Shiva even has his alternative model from 2, as well (more buff).
All enemies from all games are present, with their corresponding sound effects based on which game they appeared originally at. The character on first game's cover art, who never found his way into the final game version, is also restored within this fan made project, that creepy guy with mask. Motorcycle prototype levels present in Bare Knuckle 3, which had been accessible through cheats and had been incomplete, now function properly, you can ride bikes and fight on them. Another innovation is boat rides. It is not a very faithful remake or an exact duplicate of the originals, but it has the scenario paths of them inside it, incorporated, with various changes, plot twists and stage branching, inside. There is a loot system and a shop to spend the money earned, like unlocking the playable characters, game features and... Cheats. You can have both police call from 1 and special moves from 2 and 3, as well as running from 3, throughout ALL games at once, too! Game is uncensored, many female enemies are not redesigned like the Streets of Rage overseas version of the game back in the day, Mr.X smokes cigar and drinks wine, Blaze has an upskirt (but i won't spoil how and when) and long story short, gameplay is so awesome and complete, that you even run the risk of liking this remake even more than the originals themselves!
Best part about it though is its mods and modding capability. MANY people created one (or entire collections) of mods already, many of them keep updating and enriching them, too! The game's community is literally BUZZING and many people play, try, test, appreciate those mods, most of which are either about streets of rage series itself again, or other oldies and classics games, but redesigned to function within the Streets of Rage Remake V5.1 's engine, which is called SoRrMaker! It has something for everyone! Do you like Golden Axe? Just get the golden rage mod! Do you like classic arcades? No problem, go get the King of Dragons, Warriors of Fate or Knights of the round, or Cadillacs and Dinosaurs mod! Turtles in time from Snes, Powers Rangers the movie from Genesis/Mega Drive, Final Fight, Double Dragon, you name it, someone has modded it already!
Personal favorites and high quality mods, from very skilled modders, are:
1) Way of the Warrior. It has different routes, endings and is nicely worked out.
2) Adam's Story extended. You HAVE to play it.
3) H.U.N.T.E.R.
4) Streets of Rage 3 (faithful) remake. Mod that faithfully recreates the Bare Knuckle 3 scenario, with minor differences.
5) Streets of Rage 1 (faithful) remake, or even better, CajNatalie's collection! It has all versions of the first game, game gear, master system, mega drive, even the newly made mobile!
6) Streets of Rage 2 (faithful) remake, or even better, CajNatalie's collection! It has all versions of the second game, game gear, master system, mega drive, even a new mode like survival!
And many others. Just try those! You are in for a bag full of fun! This is a real masterpiece of a game! Personally, it is the first amateur made game i ever played and felt it is even better than triple A titles! Or of an original and professional game in comparison with it! It is free, distributed for free, no one charges ANYTHING for it and nobody should do that! It is legal, it's engine and game's content were made from scratch, without borrowing or 'stealing' anything. It even has computer controlled ally A.I. and option to play hotseat co-op with a friend, but unfortunately, no online, at least yet! Here are some links to get you going!

Enjoy!
Please keep this alive for a long time and spread the knowledge! Sega closed it down and still works against it, but it is up to everyone to preserve a gem! If you want to discuss, feel free to do so! Have fun!

Thumbs up for this post. Everybody fond of Beat 'em Ups should absolutely play this. It's one of the best fan games ever made and the remixed soundtrack is amazing too.
Go Straight!

Screw Sega for trying to suppress this game. Sega would have gained a huge amount of fan good will for giving their blessing for this project, or even officially supporting it.
Still, it is out there, and for that we can all be grateful.

I'm surprised you didn't also mention anything about Beats of Rage or OpenBOR.

The soronline site has introduced a one download per IP limitation, can't download anything, probably due to shared IPs. The sorrcommunity link works, but that's the WIndows version, the Linux ones seem to have appeared and disappeared over the years. There's a package in AUR, but that uses the soronline files, and now literally can never be installed - it needs to download two files. It's a pity. (Yes, I know, download separately, blah blah, I meant 'as intended'.)
I expected to see some mention of OpenBOR as well. That one doesn't have legal or server problems, though most of the content would likely suffer the same fate as SoRR if anyone cared enough to send them C&Ds. But seemingly no one does until you reach SoRR levels of hype. 'Avoid success at any cost', hm...
