Renegade on an Amstrad CPC 6128

[Jesusisthetreeoflife]

every character on amstrad is cooked just right, i could eat those beefy little sprites

[maiki60fps]

looks quite similar to Spectrum version apart from the fact everything is so blocky that it's simply UGLY...

The gameplay of Renegade was better than the Atari ST. Graphics yes the Atari ST was better, Attari ST all games were graphically better.

[savlugg]

qu'est ce que j'ai pu jouer a ce jeu ... ca me rajeunit pas .. :(

[anothergol]

Considering the limitations, the sprite artwork was really amazing

[rudycolas]

J'airerai retrouver ces jeux.

[mcklain]

No sound? It was one of the best things in the game!

[MustNotRead]

look at this silly game...it just wrong looking.

why do old people like these types of game...the graphics are very crap. i like my ps3 better. even the old ps2 is better!!! lol

[TK2008BEST]

that was the situation in 1987, bobo...

[westside197]

amstrad cpc 464 was a wiked machine.better than c64..crap

[nograviti]

Dude its been over 20 years!! And your still slating the C64 LOL! Personally I had a Amstrad and thought the C64 screenshots always looked better

[thunderdoom1980]

The games on an Amstrad looked better on stills but the Commodore had better scrolling and sprite animation. I had a 6128 :).

[edzzzwin]

@thunderdoom1980 And.. Smooth running parallax scrolling; absolutly wicked! Btw, C=64 has also very beautifull graphics, just check out Booze Desings or something like that.. Or games like Mayhem in Monsterland, Retrograde, Wizball, for freaking great effects in color and sound.

[edzzzwin]

@edzzzwin forgot to mention that multi-colored overlayed high res sprites also look very nice on the Commodore 64. And games run very smooth overall.

[edzzzwin]

(Forgive @edzzzwin, he's still a proud C=64 owner.) Amstrad CPC also rocks the 8bit world. And Spectrum. And MSX.. 1+2..

[zedkay]

Someone needs to upload a version with the soundtrack, it was great for the CPC464, l loved this game, it showed what someone with talent could get out of the system!!!

[iris030380]

Compare this to the C64 and ZX Spectrum versions, and tell me the Amstrad wasn't king. Shame the music isn't in the video, cos that was great as well.

[iletelyastraightmate]

The Amstrad was only "king" for this game (and maybe also Ye Ar Kung Fu) but for everything else it failed miserably, when compared to C64.

[iris030380]

Have you seen the C64 and Amstrad versions of Midnight Resistance? Or Dizzy? Way better than the C64. Spectrum doesnt even come close too.

[zombiemod]

I had a C64 and an Amstrad CPC and I have to say the C64 games *where sprite limitations weren't an issue* were better.

C64 excelled at massive sprites, smooth scrolling, sound FX and 2D speed, but the Amstrad was fantastic at shifting large software sprites around on a STATIC screen. If Sir Alan's lot had built in hardware scrolling and a proper sound chip, it would have dumped the C64.

Renegade CPC blew my mind, graphics were far better than the arcade version - FACT.

[iris030380]

C64 could NOT have done Renegade as well as this... in fact, there is no way the C64 could have done Radzone, Oli And Lisa, Psycho Hopper or any of the best CPC games. I think the best C64 game I have seen is Turrican 2, which is good, but not as good as any of the above. You sound like you know what youre talking about though, so ...

[zombiemod]

Depends on the type of game, really.

Amstrads were hopeless at scrollers/ shoot em ups, but excellent at vector and static screened games. However, in the 1980's there were far more scrollers in the arcades than vector games.

Olli and Lisa, and Radzone look like 2D platform games, C64 could do that standing on its head, and at the same or better resolution. Olli and Lisa only has 4 colours at 320 x 200, C64 could show all 16 at that res!

Look at Katakis, Delta, Armalyte on the C64.

[iris030380]

U say 2d platform games ... but POP was better on the CPC, as was Midnight Resistance, and have you seen Psycho Hopper? A platform game as well... Dizzy (all of them, check Quik Snax out on CPC! Apart from Turrican 2, I have not seen a game on both platforms where the C64 is hands down better. Enlighten me...

[zombiemod]

Dizzy for C64 was a spectrum port! No wonder it looked crap.

Check out Creatures, Creatures 2, Monty Mole... Robocop (look at the highres sprites and smooth scroll, it makes the CPC look chunky)

[zombiemod]

Ghosts and Goblins... Ghouls and Ghosts too...

[PilotRiaz]

Even Atari ST was rubbish. CPC 464 was the best version, i haven't seen it on C64. Don't know how it was on that

[proudtobearobot]

hahah remember the bad guys brains splurge out everywhere if you beat their heads whilst on the floor

[cloudskipa]

I'm not really a CPC fan, but I was surprised with how good this game is for the Amstrad.

[SorcierVaudou]

genial ce jeu

[graveheart1138]

Man, I used to proper rinse this game out back in the day!!! Still a classic to this day!!

[DrunkenGekko]

I cant even remember how many times ive beaten this game on my old ZX spectrum 48k ^^

Renegade, Batman, Robocop, ikari and Dizzy were my fav games back then.

[thxgreg]

taaaaaaain RENEGADE ça me vieillit wooow !!!

[mcklain]

Que vicios madre mia, que vicios...

[angelpriest]

many memmories with this game...since the school days, I had it on tape and waited for 20 minutes for it to load!---sometimes we didn't go to school in order to play it with shinobi!--128kb Ram, 3.5" drive...16 colours. Nowdays children have dvd roms, playstation, super graphic cards....times changed...

[Octamed]

128k? luxury :) btw it was a 3" discdrive :) I think they held 176k

[angelpriest]

you re right. Amiga had 3.5".

[pistachoatomico]

Uno de mis juegos favoritos y la mejor conversión que se haya hecho nunca para un ordenador de ocho bits, sin duda alguna. Cuando por fin jugué a la versión original gracias al MAME me quedé alucinado porque realmente habían sabido captar tanto el estilo como la jugabilidad del original.

[mass63]

super jeu, ca me rappel des souvenirs de voir cette video. que nostalgie. cpc, tu me manques!!!
