Beats of Rage is an open-source 2D customisable video game engine designed by Senile Team and inspired by Sega's classic Streets of Rage series of beat'em up games. It was initially released as a video game tribute for Streets of Rage 2 with characters from The King of Fighters.
This archive contains the original Beats of Rage game for the Sega Dreamcast console, in its final form. The Rumble Edition, specific to the Sega Dreamcast, was released the October 21, 2004.
This special edition, in addition with rumble features also includes a broadcast selector, in order to choose between NTSC or PAL at startup. By default, the NTSC (best) version is used, but if needed (mainly if you have an European Dreamcast without a VGA cable attached), the startup loader will let you choose to run the game on PAL or NTSC broadcast signal, depending of your choice. The original Beats of Rage game engine was only available on NTSC broadcast version.
