There's also a couple that have been commercially marketed (so presumably they don't suck). I've never seen em in action, but here's one.

There's also the usual homebrew (BOR, Simpson's Quake, etc.) and emulation.

The best one I've played is Drill - a shooter.  Unfortunately, only the demo is available right now.  Looks really promising though.

You should definitely check out the free Beats of Rage collections:

Thanks for the link. I just tried it out. Very polished game. I hope there's more homebrew like that in the pipeline(s)!

So.....are there any of these games that you can order, and play?  Or, do you download them, or what?  Thanks.

Download the file (optionally: extract with WinRAR) and burn with Alcohol120% or Padus DiscJuggler.
Nero tends to screw with burning DC-games, I've had good experiences with Alcohol120% -> http://trial.alcohol-soft.com/en/

Here's a good site for homebrew. 

http://www.dchomebrew.org/cool.shtml

Most of the games look shoddy, but Feet of Fury and Cool Herders are supposed to be decent.  Let me know if you find any that are worthwhile.

Ok, I've looked at a couple of these sites, but have not found where to actually download anything.  I'm particalarly interested in the Streets of Rage conversions (ho -dee - ahh!)

Don't think you looked very hard. The first link that mentioned it has it.

Here is a direct download link

Enjoy

DC Evolution doesn't allow offsite linking and redirects you right back to their front door.  ;)

Here's a link to BOR Collection page that I think Stobe is looking for. Stobe: the download link is on the right. Download and burn with Alcohol 120%, DiskJuggler, or something similar.

I hope that someone continues Aleph One developement. I'd much rather play that then Quake (although Simpsons Quake is pretty cool until it crashes).

This is highly likely :)  (I was born into the "skim the page" generation, lol)

Actually, everytime I looked at the downloads, all I saw was "DiscJugler", which I did not want to download.  I failed to notice that it was 224 MB :).

Thanks guys.
