    Default Any fan of Streets of Rage around here?

    I love the series. Not my absolute favorite on Genesis/Mega Drive, but pretty close.

    SOR2 is obviously the perfect package. It had everything. Music, graphics, gameplay.

    SOR3 (or the uncensored Japanese version) had its moments and some nice gameplay additions, but the lack of a leap forward (SOR1 to SOR2) and the so-so music always made me ambivalent about that sequel.

    If this topic takes, I can maybe post a little extra to make it more than just a trip down memory lane. I'm still new at this forum so I don't know what's hot or not over here.

    Ah well, that's promising.

    I've been deeply immersed in the series lately because I got involved with some guys reprograming the series, mixing it up and releasing online-enabled SOR games on PC and DC (Dreamcast).

    Just yesterday, I finished a pic for a possible cover and contemplating my options for a back cover, featuring many of the main enemies.

    I don't view myself as a Michaelangelo, but I have decent enough abilities to do the classic series justice. I have, of course, my own particular style of drawing. See for yourself:

    I love all 3 games. I would grade the games like this:

    SOR = 9/10 points
    SOR2 = 10/10 points
    SOR3 = 8.5/10 points

    Do i like the series? That's like asking if i like to breathe.

    I love the series. Aside from the obvious Yuzo worship when it comes to the music, I use SOR2 as the gold standard for comparing control and gameplay against similar games.

    I think "Bare Knuckle 3" gets a bad rap though. I enjoy the added use of the 6 button controller and there is quite a bit of music in the game that i have grown to enjoy as much as from previous games.

    Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

    Yeah, I'm a big fan of the series. Even after all these years Bare Knuckle 2 is still a solid beat 'em up, and one of my favorite games.

    It's not bad, but it hurts my eyes to look diretly at it. Try and tone down all that shinyness. You're drawing a cover, not a second sun.

    I agree, NES Double Dragon 2 is a very close second.

    I love the whole SOR series on the Genny.

    Then staring at a blank page on your computer should hurt your eyes even more. Lower your brightness and contrast levels on your monitor. :P

    I've always liked Ninja Warriors on the SNES, but for unexplicable reasons, Taito decided to make it one-player only.

    Ninja Warriors on SNES is such an awesome game. It shouldve received way more attention that it did...

    AWESOME game: graphics, music, gameplay...A+

    It's a shame there isn't more SOR fan-art out there. Well, I've seen over two dozens of different drawings based on the series, but aside from one or two good Blaze pics, most seemed to be from kids doodling in the corner of a notebook.

    No, staring at a blank page on my computer doesn't hurt my eyes at all, but this does. Don't ask for people's thought's if you're going to be a prick when they dont say what you want. The outside borders of the picture are fine, but the main focus, mainly the lights on the car and how it reflects off the characters is bothering my eyes. The art is good looking, just bright. Maybe I'm the only person whos eyes are affected this way, but the problem is not my monitor.
