Hello everyone,
This is Frédéric, from France, near Paris, but born in Lille and proud of it (but who cares ?

)
I've always been a great fan of the Streets of Rage saga since the first number in 1991, a long time ago when I was 25.
Last year I discovered Beats of Rage (and all its "by-products") for my beloved Dreamcast. I was very surprised (and happy of course !) to see that the saga was still so appreciated after all those years...
And yesterday, by reading a webmag named "Player Two", I found you !
My God, SoRR is such a wonderful tribute ! The menus, the musics, the graphics, the gameplay, it has it all !! The best part of it, in my opinion, is the perfect combination between the game speed and the controls. Because though the game is much faster than the originals, controlling your character remains so easy ! It's not far from perfection...
So a great "bravo" to all the Bombergames Team ! By the way I was very disappointed to read so many critisizing and unconstructive posts, mostly for very tiny details...
Bug reports YES, critisizing just for "fun", NO !
I know I'm a newbie here, but it had to be said...
Talking about bug report, I was going to forget why I'm posting in this particular topic !
I've searched to find if someone had encountered the same bug as mine, but I failed. So here it is : when you select "Remake" in "Death Type" option, the dying animation performs indefinitely, making the game unplayable ! The only solution is to exit the game and start another one.
I don't know if you've heard about this bug, and fixed it for version 5. But if not, here's what I found after a little investigation : first of all, if you select "SOR" in "Death Type", everything's OK.
But the more interesting is here : when you replace the Sorr.dat of the latest version of the game (filedate : 04/07/2007) with the one in the "SoRv401a" zip (filedate : 05/01/2007), the bug just disappears !
And it's easy to differenciate the two files : at the very first screen ("Bombergames"), the bugged-one has the following text : "THIS GAME IS FREEWARE, IF YOU BOUGHT IT YOU HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF".
Here it is, I've finished ! I hope my message will be helpful to the team, and if not, please don't shoot me ! And remember : I've tried my best to write in good english, but you know, those Frenchies and foreign languages...
