Just after the release of OpenBoR v3.0 Build 2244 that adds SecurePAK support, here comes a new mod for OpenBor that was 1 and a half years in the making. Presenting Night Slashers X by BonusJZ,  an OpenBor mod of  the classic horizontally scrolling beat'em up arcade game that was released in 1994.

NickyP has dropped us a line informing us about his new OpenBOR mod based on Phantasy Star Online. It's still in early demo form and there's only one playable stage right now, but it's looking pretty good so far.

We've seen quite a few OpenBOR games on these pages over the past months, but have you ever wondered about the engine that runs these games? If so, then today's your lucky day since a new OpenBOR build has recently been released.

So what do we have for this week's big homebrew releases? Well, there's a new version of Daedalus X64, for one. For those who use their PSPs for a lot of media viewing, there's also a new PSP Video Converter release. Game-wise, we have one of the most addictive games to come out in a while (more so if you're a Final Fantasy fan): an OpenBOR game featuring characters from the first Final Fantasy game. But enough talk. On to the recap!

I haven't tried this one out for myself yet, but being an 8-bit Theatre fan I'm pretty sure I'm gonna enjoy it. This game demo from NickyP is a fighting game based on Final Fantasy I using the OpenBOR engine. Details after the link.

Thanks to NickyP for the heads up!

It's another nice day for another nice OpenBoR mod. You've seen the Chaotix Rage mod and that Ladies of Rage project. Here comes another one: the Golden Axe Genesis OpenBoR demo. This takes all three Golden Axe games on the Sega Genesis for a Beats of Rage spin.
