My favorite part of the Internet is when mega-fans makes awesome things of the things they love. Most of the time if their love is for a video game, and they express it by making a remake or a sequel themselves -- instead of waiting around for the developer to hear their pleas -- it's unceremoniously shut down before it ever sees the light of day. Sometimes, though, it makes it's way through the entire process and is released for all gamers to enjoy; Such is the case for Streets of Rage Remake.
Even more astonishing then the fact that this team of fans got it released is the sheer amount of effort they went to. They didn't have any of the actual game code, and they didn't reverse engineer the game to get it. Instead, they just analyzed everything and attempted to recreate it from scratch. And not only the first game -- they've pretty much remade the entire series in one product.
