C64 - Longplay - Target Renegade (Part 1/2)

[PopcornCoolie]

Okay, so why is Lorenzo lamas clubbing bikers? They just want to cruise. And why is he beating up pimps and hookers? They're just trying to make some cash the only way they know how.

[wandererlain]

@PopcornCoolie LOL

[youuuuuuuuuuutube]

Tip to longplay gamers: don't play perfectly, make mistakes, and let the enemies hit you and die a few times, it will make the video a little bit more entertaining.

[HSimon1981]

Got I used to play this game about nearly 20 years ago, i thought this games was pretty cool.

[Warrior20000]

interesting, on cpc this music is in level 2.And i dont have the music of level 2 on cpc.But at the same time c64 doesnt have the same musif for level 1.I recognize musics onf cpc in different way.

[rxtxdx]

@Warrior20000 I noticed this too. Very strange.

[Warrior20000]

[76MKIIDub16V]

so much fun to smack all those pimps with the baseball bat !!! Amazing game ,had so much fun with it !!

[Axecution]

Can't get enough of that music. Incredible :D

[bbenjoe]

Jól nyomja a srác...

[ArgHamster]

Best mullet ever.

[FrightNightTV]

yeah, had the track from level 1 in my head for years, but couldnt remember which game it was. awesome game

[gawraniaki8]

love the music !!

[burteriksson]

Got this game in '88 on a tape on C64. One of the greatest games ever to influence me with its graphics and the great atmospere & music!

[spiderjerusalem100]

I had this on my c64 and it would never load the 2nd level. Playing the first level over and over was still kind of fun though lol.

[Dynamitarian]

Level 2 music is Jean MichelZarresque

[Jeet27]

speccy version far better than this

[Diomedes1977ori]

Good version ,but the Spectrum version played better. Best one all round ,though ,is the Amstrad CPC one, plays as good as the Spectrum ,has a lot better graphics and has the same memorable soundtrack even in the 64kb machines.

[Darkbeatdk]

"Out of my way bikers! I gotta make a damn phone call!"

[vicemanFIN]

I just want to say "Best music ever!" but I have said that for many many C64 games, I just cant help it. There cannot be just one number one. :)

[MrFerdifuchs]

what a nice game punshing women without punishment :D

[Nixitur]

@MrFerdifuchs Sexist asshole...

[paully6996]

l loved this game!!!!

[ValChronification]

oh dear... whoever made this version of the game just didnt bother to put in any combo system with the knee to the groin and all that. sad!

[rudycolas]

J'adore tout ces jeux que j'aimerai retrouver ces pratiquants de Kung Fu qui démontaient tout ce qui bougent,sur de la jolie musique éléctronique

[daberek666]

Why they didn't made game where player must kill Justin Bieber?

[sooperheromax]

ok so graphically the C64 may be slightly better, but thats a general with any game, but it certainely lacks the charm and playability of the Specct version which I think is the best. I never liked the C64 games, they always looked clunky and awkward.

[MrGaragenation]

cant make it out , is that a bird with muscles ?

[ojideagu]

@MrGaragenation Of course not lol

[azivadek]

the best game........THX

[zombiemod]

Level 3 music reminds me of a proper 80's track - I just can't pin it's name! Am I imagining it? Hmm.

BTW, the Amstrad CPC version was the best. It had 2 player simultaneous like the speccy but much more colour than either the C64 or Spectrum versions. Had "Imagine" replicated the quality of the first CPC's "renegade" graphics in the sequel, the CPC version would have been legendary.

[DaveGahan27]

man, this music brings back memories......good old times !

[Darkmoor9]

Sorry, love the C64, but this kind of game never really worked on it. Never more than 2 foes on screen, one player only, almost no moves, terrible collision detection... the Spectrum version was much better, this time.

The original Renegade, Golden Axe and Final Fight had similar problems. And don't get me started on Double Dragon...

[VinceVicious1]

@Darkmoor9 Oh god yes! I was the biggest Double Dragon fan & nearly shat miself when i got it on the C64.... shame it was fucking awful! I remember my friend had the original Renegade on the ZX Spectrum, much better than the C64 version as well.

[flyingcumshot]

LOL, he walks to the beat of the music

[SKURVIEL1973]

ZX version was much better.

[malc1976]

yeah get real it was shit

[nadvnadvnadv]

i agree. ZX gives more action and 128k music was good too.

[Dynamitarian]

Music Loop in Level 2 is amazing!

[SD78]

The best part is when the 'ladies' knee you in the groin and the eyes going big and bloodshot.

The same when the mini-skinheads headbutt you in the groin.

[Mortikaye]

This was so much better on the Spectrum...

[malc1976]

the spectrum and amstrad were shit compared to the commodore 64 this version is the best shame it aint two player

[junkiefacejunkie]

me & my mate were probably 8 years old when we used 2 watch his much older brother play this, i just had 2 hear tha music from tha 1st level again, not that i'd eva 4get how it goes. i remember singin' tha tune once 2 my mum, aunty & cousin & they must thought "wot a weired cunt". i use 2 sing it as i went 2 bed sometimes. it's stuff like this that makes me tha musician i am 2day. long live tha 80's.

[ludersatan]

this music is so great!

[samsamba08]

I don't know what you guys are on about... I thought the game was repetitive, and so was the music by the way. Like on level 2? It's just a few bar loop over and over again!

Best music since Last Ninja 2? How about NO.

[djsmithy]

I think the music in level 1 is repetive in a good way.

Its probably the track ive listened to the most repeatively, i could listen to it for hours and not get fed up of it!

Buy yeah, the last ninja 2 is totally mindblowing in a different way.

[TheCommodore64Player]

one of the best graphics in a c64 game, kicks even the Spectrum 128 version by far in graphics and music!

[Paul07791]

doesn't beat even the ZX Spectrum 48k version's gameplay though.

[Mihawk270187]

Das bringt Erinnerungen zurück - schöne Erinnerungen ;)

Der Soundtrack gehört wirklich zum Besten was der C64 zu bieten hatte. Hat ein kleines bisschen was von Last Ninja 2.

[bbenjoe]

Definetly one of the best C64 games. The music kicks and rocks!

[spazztichead]

Great memories, especially the soundtrack on level 3 kills me every time.

[lildopDOTcom]

Next to Last Ninja 2, best soundtrack on C-64.

I play this game all the time, I love it so much!

[malc1976]

best music on any version

[xxpandamidknightxx]

Commadore during the early 80's had a good amp system to play great music in these games. The game music were around maybe 8megabytes a full size. Some are larger around maybe 60megabytes.

[djsmithy]

Where did you hear that?

The commodore games dont even amount to 1 megabyte man! Download a game dump for an emulator and youll see what i mean.

[ajmossey]

One of my fave games on the C64. I love the bits in this version that the other versions didn't have, like the moving eyes at the bottom of the screen, and the way the bikers can grab you from behind, hold you and hit you with the pole, so you have to shrug them off. Having said that, occasionally it can be slightly repetitive. I personally feel the Amstrad CPC464 version was the best. It combined the colour of the C64 version with the greater variability of gameplay found on the speccy version

[jimchosen80]

im a speccy man myself but i have to admit the sound track on c64 is better

[xxpandamidknightxx]

Doommaster1994 would fit as a protaginst in this game. He probably beat the living shit out of Tom Selleck. Hell, I would beat up the Beastie Boys look alikes.

[Parjay]

So awesome! I remember playing this when i was like 7 or so; used to love the graphics, I can still feel that feeling I had back then of the awesome graphics and sound and - I dunno - there was just something about the way the game looked and played that I can still recall vividly.

So funny though, after reading the inlay instructions I remember asking my mom just what a "lady of the night" was that appear in stage 2.

[paultwhite1]

I remember seing this and thinking the graphics were amazing and i had to get myself a c64!!! wow i was so young then!! .

[daedalos90000]

This is SO based on Rambo... I even thought it WAS him a long time.. kick-ass game :P

[djsmithy]

i never did manage to get past the 3rd/4th level!

Had the game on loan from a friend as a child.

I remember loving it though, the graphic were much better than most sidescrollers ont eh c64, loved the music, and loved kicking the bikers off their bikes too!

[ineebriate]

the amstrad cpc version was really good as i recall.

[Masta686Yamato]

I had this game on my NES.

[nicogalis]

The vercion of cpc are much better gameplay, but in games like this could also be seen as superior commodore before its rivals, not just the sound, also on the high multicolored graphics.

[bbenjoe]

Just a suspicion but I think our hero is based on Rambo.

[xxpandamidknightxx]

? I see parts of it. But some are like a mix of Rambo and a Choung Li.

[xxpandamidknightxx]

He is a Targeted Renegade and everything, even hookers, Beastie Boys, and Marky Mark Walberg and Mini Me is coming to get him.

[jesusarnold]

god this was terrible on the c64 compared to the spectrum, which is a pretty rare occurence

[Jimmy77777]

Forgot how great the music was on this game.

[bbenjoe]

YEEEESSSSS! I found this game! (I didn't know the name of it for 10 years)

[BENxRoyaleWithCheese]

C64 WAS better. Music, graphics, colour palette (obviously). Some developers were just better at programming for the Spectrum.

[HorrorFanUK]

I am a big Target Reenegade fan. I will admit the c64 version had better grapics, but the spectrum version played better and the music was great. The game is so legendary on the spectrum that there is a remix version using updated grapchics and sound for the pc. When fans talk about Target Renegade, it is the spectrum version they always remember, not the c64 version.

[andyukmonkey]

What about the Amstrad cpc version?

It's basically the Spectrum version with more colour.

[djsmithy]

The sound is much better in the C64 and NES version i think though.

I was really surprised at how good the sound was on the nes version a few minutes ago!

I didnt know the chip was capable of such beefy drum sounds.

[collieuk]

This looks like a Target Renegade Junior version compared to the Spectrum version. The enemies don't seem to hit back or do much at all. On the Spectrum they surround you and smash your face in if you try and punch. The Speccy version might not have Michael Jackson on level 2, but the chap with the gun pops up and shoots without warning, thus killing you a fair bit. Does the C64 version not have 2 player either? The graphics and sound are obviously a lot better though.

[DusteDdekay]

Hmm, the guy playing this is rather good, I remember getting my arse kicked a lot in this game, especially by the pimps popping shots at me :P

[M3n747]

The game of my childhood. ;_; I love the music from the first level. ;_;

[DemoniusX]

you guys should here cybernoid music on C64, That is good shit right there.

[ilabig64]

Next to the infernal runner music...

[andyukmonkey]

Agreed.

[HorrorFanUK]

its good, but the spectrum music owned, too.

[MoViEmInE]

Now this i remember. Its great to see again.Thanks folks. There was a spectrum version?...

[Xifihas]

Yea, i figured i'd hear that from a brit. To you people the spectrum was god. Over here, C64 was god

[inphanta]

Not necessarily. There was an even C64/Spectrum split in the UK. As a C64 owner, I never understood what it was Spectrum owners thought they had to brag about. I was rarely impressed by anything I saw on that machine.

[Xifihas]

I guess you become attached to the first computer you get and you bias you opinions about it and the other computers at the time.

[SD78]

The Spectrum was a very mediocre machine. I recall when they'd do nearly straight ports of popular Spectrum games (Karnov was a good example) they'd get rubbished on the C64.

Here in NZ, the Spectrum was completely dead as a gaming system.

[Sabocalypse]

you gotta love c64 music
