Zeus presents Target Renegade (aka Renegade II) (un-emulated) for the Amstrad CPC, a true classic from the golden era of Amstrad gaming which should not be forgotten alongside the software house and programmers that were involved in making this game. Year of release: 1988 The most awesome beat'em-up game ever on the Spectrum 128k with 2-player co-op mode, big sprites and big play area, the Amstrad version I found very playable with again 2-player co-op mode making it twice as much fun as 1-player mode but I felt the look of this version regarding graphics resembles more to me of a Nintendo Nes, it's playable enough but the Amstrad could have done better regarding the graphics I feel. The characters are ok enough but I certainly didn't like the look of the first punk on level 3 (9:10), he looks more like an old man in his 60's!, also the way they follow you around looks as if they are super glued to you, they all look like they are sliding around together like a moonwalk on ice. Another thing I didn't like about this version is that the music seems to play out of sync and rhythm in places to the point I thought it was bugged, but after checking various uploads of this version I found they all did the same across all the levels,...it sounds out of tune (9:09 & 12:10 for instance) it sounds horrible and a mess in places, the sound fx of the punches reminded me of a Sega master system, Amstrad machine again could have done better i'm sure. This is an ok game and I quite liked playing this all the way through but as far as i'm concerned it will always be 3rd place to the Spectrum 128k version and the C64 version especially the Sid's soundtrack, I much prefer the look and enjoyment of those two versions whereas I didn't get the feel for the Amstrad version. I hope all you Amstrad fans enjoy this upload. Please note: NONE of my game uploads are emulated in any way whatsoever, they are 100% original recordings by myself taken directly from the original hardware the game was intended for, that way you know you're watching the real thing. I will also always state weather i am using any cheats in the game, if not mentioned then i am not using any. Check out my channel ( / zeusdaz , dedicated to gamers who loved the games of yesteryear.
