Beats of Rage is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up game done by Senile Team in 2003. It is a tribute to SEGA's Streets of Rage series and uses resources taken from SNK's The King of Fighters series.
Even though the developers didn't make any active attempts to promote the game, news spread by word of mouth and Beats of Rage quickly gained popularity. They just made this game for fun and didn't think that more than 10 people would ever play it. In 2006, more than a million copies of the game were downloaded. It was originally done for MS-DOS and has been ported to several platforms.
The source code of Beats of Rage has been released and the underlying engine later went on to become the Open Beats of Rage (OpenBOR) project.
Senile Team also planned a spiritual successor, Age of the Beast, but it got cancelled later.
