Dude when i look at this video it remindes me of my childood i spent so many hours playing this game on my ZX Spectrum this really remindes me the good old days...Thanks for posting this (",)
this was a popular game back in the 80's. thanks for uploading, borught back memories! Is this game still available to buy on some other format? I haven't seen any spectum 128k computers for sale lately!
One of the best Speccy Games, spent hours on this as a kid.
Kids nowadays dont realise how easy they got it now....
No speccy 48k moments of having to load each level from tape, or worse the dreaded wait for games to get to 90% then see the wire from the tape player to Spectrum get knocked and have to start all over lol
I just got a spectrum +2 and bought gryzor and target renegade. My mum shall wrap it up and give it me for my 11th birthday! And yes, i know i am fucking mental.
Q,A,O,P, SPACE on a +2 keyboard, best control method for me on most games, better than any joystick. I would be peed off if there wasn't a redefine keys option.
48k amazing music2 ruin keys? as a kid1 christmas i did real well all at once got the bmx radio control car lego technic car 128kb speccy tape deck musta done ok on child's play on ITV huh? just remember if some tv-sissy come round ur school its child's play not catch phrase just say what u c. anyway also had them cheap* pilot-style 3xred-button joysticks killed that fckr daly thompsons olympic challenge ever u need a paddle j-stik then that the fkng gme rght thr *dad mebbe tell u if chp or no.
Debe ser la versión para el 128K (por el sonido). Mi +2 pasó a mejor vida (eso de comprar uno de 2ª mano, hmmmm, no sé, no sé).
P.D.: En el alfabeto internacional se dice tango para decir "T" (en vez de decir "T" de "target"). Es una convención que debemos respetar, si no, esto es la torre de Babel.
As a minor correction, Target Renegade isn't actually conversion from arcade game, unlike the first Renegade. Both Target Renegade and Renegade III were developed specifically for home computers in the West without involvement from the Japanese developer (Technos) of the original arcade release of Renegade (which was westernized localization of Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun).
However, the first Double Dragon (created by Technos) has been considered a spiritual successor to Renegade.
Amazing game. I remember used to play this with my best mate all the time. 2 player was so much better than solo. I remember you could steal the pimps gun too. That was sweet. Forgot there was a mace in it.
One of my favourite beat'em up games, this and the original Renegade. That was a bit harder though. I think the best versions were the ZX Spectrum ones. Renegade 3 was rather poor...
I had this game when it first came out in the late 80s. One of the best games of all time. I just wish their do a remake of it in HD but keep it 2D looking.
Used to play this game aged 7 or 8...could complete it 4 or 5 times in a row before I just stopped. Can still remember the excitement of the last level..trying to get that pool cue to rattle over the bosses head. Those guys on forth level who used to duck your jump kick, and you had to do a double back kick straight after..HAPPY DAYS!
I had this..on speccy 128k..with the tape built in. loved it..it was a 2 player, tho the 1st renegade was ok, the 3rd went all monsters and shit. Them were the days tho, eh?..nevermind your XBOX360s, etc...gimmie a speccy..or commadore64 and a copy of EmlynHughesInternationalSoccer...and I am a very happy man.
I live in the United States, and the only version of it we got was a shitty Nintendo Entertainment System port. That version's so horrible, it is literally impossible to beat Level 2. Why, you might have asked? Because it won't allow you to damage the end boss. AT ALL. Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to be beat the hell out of.
The loading was part of the fun. If that's what the loading screen looks like, what is the game going to look like! It was only when it crashed. But we persevered. Those yellow and blue stripes will never be forgotten! One of the best speccy games. I like the way you can't use the same simple moves on the later levels.
The best way really. Gives you time to make a cup of tea. Hardcore gaming! Now you're going to have to start building up a collection unless you still have a lot of the old games.
Classic, one of the first full price games I bought on the ZX. I remembered the music being particularly good. Can't wait to see the bit i the snooker hall with the cues.
one of my favourite Speccy games, fantastic multiplayer, i always hated those ducking guys when i was a kid (until i got the back kick move down to a tee)
I always loved the shamelessness of it - hookers with ENORMOUS chests kneeing you in the groin, twatting opponents with hammers and pool cues, and kneeling down on your adversary to finish them off the floor.
The only real fun and challenging way to play the game is to try not to resort to flying kicks all the time. Sadly like in my review, half the time you end up with a smack in the head and couple more in the bollocks for your troubles.
I was playing the first renegade game the other day and thinking how can't I do flying kicks. Needless to say I got beaten up. The flying kick comes into its own on levels 4 and 5. It's the only way to defeat the opponents. Renegade is more of a challenge though.
Sounds like a good emulator. Sounds like a good emulator. It probably helps if you don't use the escape key as 'Hit'. I was going to upload more of this but the video cuts out before its meant to. Will need to play 2 other levels again! :[
