543: Beats of Rage: From Fan Game to OpenBOR - The Retro Hour EP543

This week, we’re joined by Roel van Mastbergen of Senile Team to discover how a homemade MS-DOS tribute to Streets of Rage exploded to around a million players, crashed two servers and evolved into OpenBOR. Roel also reveals how the project led him into Dreamcast development, the fate of Age of the Beast and what’s next with Hypno Tiles.Senile Team: https://www.senileteam.com/Zoom Platform: https://www.zoom-platform.com/Contents:00:00 – The Week’s Retro News Stories45:17 - Beats of Rage InterviewPlease visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show:Bitmap Books – https://www.bitmapbooks.comCheck out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com for all your PCB needsLondon Gaming Market: https://www.londongamingmarket.com/We need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you’d like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon:https://theretrohour.com/support/https://www.patreon.com/retrohourJoin our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8Website: http://theretrohour.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/X: https://twitter.com/retrohourukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.comTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohourShow notes Hyperion and Amiga Corp Settle: https://lnk.ua/Vw6jkv8IWXbox 360 Games Hit PC: https://lnk.ua/XCLKsRbJKVarta Goes Bust: https://lnk.ua/5ry9AQiddNew Amiga Bullet-Hell Shooter: https://lnk.ua/YLQhUYBUSpeccyDate: https://lnk.ua/mFt16xLaIAtari World Championship Announced: https://lnk.ua/MVLR87zkoJaguar Doom Gets Improved: https://lnk.ua/X0cCtGX46
