About this episode
The episode discusses the OpenBOR game engine and highlights various homebrew games created with it.
OpenBOR (short for Open Beats of Rage ) is a free, open-source game engine designed primarily for creating side-scrolling beat 'em up games — the classic style made popular by titles like Streets of Rage and Final Fight . There are literally hundreds of homebrew games made with this and if you love a good WRAF, then this is the episode for you. Join Kingy, Almac and Retroric as they discuss their favourite choices from the plethora of games.
