Back in '86 we had an Atari at home, and one day my brother told that a mate of his had a Spectrum 128k, and if I wanted to have a try on it. The game we played was Target Renegade, and I remember being blown away by the graphics, music, playability and most of all, being able to say "I got an extra life". My brother's mate had to put up with me for months, inviting myself over to his place, both of us knowing that I was there not for friendship but for the game only. Like you wrote, good times!

Here’s something that will amaze you: Sir Clive Sinclair, who created the Spectrum, never envisaged it as a games machine, yet it had absolutely loads of games programmed for it, some of which became classics in their own right. He saw it as being an affordable colour-capable business machine for the home.

As a kid games didn't seem cheap. My mum's new catalogue turned up. I looked through the game titles and for reasons I can't say I picked upcoming title renegade for my spectrum. That way I got to pay in instalments. When it finally turned up I fell in love with it. Played it endlessly for months and my friends loved it too. Then one got a 138k machine and suddenly we had music and a new move, the throw. Didn't play the arcade version until years later and couldn't get on with the control scheme. the spectrum controls were very nuanced - there's actually 3 ways to do a flying kick. the way shown in this video, a leap in the air with your leg flicking out at the top of your leap - which stuns the enemies a bit longer and a kick one way that then reverses into the direction of your opponent. target renegade was fun but not really as good as the original and renegade 3 was a travesty - how it got a crash smash i couldn't say. i used a poster of renegade beating up the prossies to cover my school science book, the science teacher did not approve. interesting fact - the ingame music didn't work on the plus 3

I played Renegade and Target Renegade on the C64 when I was 7 years old. An issue I had with the first game was that when playing with joystick, only the stick worked but not the fire button on the joystick. So I tried playing it with the stick on the joystick and a button on the keyboard. But I never got past the first level. The only things I remember about Target Renegade was that I always ran out of time on the first level if I tried to play it like a normal beat em up. As in walk to the right and beat ip enemies as they come along. The solution was I keep walking all the way to the far right of the screen, beat some enemies and pick ip the phone. Don't remember how far I got in thay game. Only seen Renegade 3 in a commodore format magazine. Didn't know it was that bad. I wil also add that I actually enjoyed double dragon 2 and 3 on the C64. The best version of dd3 was on C64 in my opinion. Better than arcade and NES. Haven't played other versions. I was actually able to finish them Lastly, I played a version of the original double dragon on the C64 where when you move your character to the top of the screen and when you jump over them, they freeze in place. Making the game much easier to finish. Can't remember if I finished it without taking advantage of that glitch.

Target renegade was easily one of the best games I had on the Speccy +2 - I never knew there was a 3rd (almost wish I still didn't know..)
I was in primary school and friends would come over after class to play games on my HC91 Speccy clone. Renegade was one of the games I had on floppy, no load errors or fiddling with the cassette player! It was one of the few co-op games that I owned so we played it a lot. The funnest thing for me was in level 2 where you could line up enemies and get them shot by dodging the bullet at the last moment.

I was a C64 kid and had Target Renegade (soundtrack was excellent) but was always disappointed by the two enemies on screen limitation, I was of course aware of Renegade, but not how good the Spectrum version was with loads of sprites on screen (especially as the C64 had hardware sprites - which I don’t believe that the Spectrum did). Looking at Target Renegade on the Spectrum though (via KZitem videos) it seems as though there are only three enemies on screen at once and so it would seem that the original would be more like an arcade experience with its half a dozen at once programming magic (despite the two player option)? I’m not sure if this is accurate but either way the Spectrum version of Renegade is a very impressive piece of programming.

The Renegade franchise has got to be one of the most convoluted in all of video games. The original was changed substantially between it's Japanese and international releases, the ports of the international releases got sequels of their own (as chronicled here,) and then the original developers made a spiritual successor in Double Dragon, which has its own complicated legacy. Then, when they made a proper sequel to the original, it was again given an overhaul internationally (becoming River City Ransom) that was completely unrelated to the international version of Renegade, and that overhaul eventually got a sequel of its own in River City Ransom: Underground. Then there were all the sports spinoffs, many of which were again divorced from the main series in their localizations, and eventually we got River City: Tokyo Rumble, which uses the name of one of the western releases but follows the original Japanese continuity. And then most recently we got River City Girls, which again uses the western title but the Japanese continuity, but is made by a western developer this time.

Whatever caused the C64 version of Renegade becoming that bad, definitely wasn't the VIC chip - considering how much weaker the Spectrum is. Yes, the CPU might be slightly faster (far from "4x speed" often claimed), but much of that is wasted on manually blitting the "sprites" to bitmap - Zx Spectrum version is simply WAY better coded. As for Double Dragon being "C64 GS exclusive" - well, none of the games were, since they all work on "normal" C64s too. Technically you could check the system ROM differences and pretend to be incompatible if "standard" C64 is detected, but why would anyone do that? C64 (and GS, I assume?) is also backwards compatible with the very first machine of the C64 lineup - the failed Commodore Max console.

"while the other 8 bit versions aren't that bad either" I always found the CPC version to be better overall. Particularly graphically with the sprites having altogether better proportions and of course colour despite being blockier (I really hated the sprites on the Spectrum version, they looked weird and lanky to me which just made their shuffling walk cycle seem even slower and more awkward) and they all look far too similar to each other (not helped by the lack of colour and the 'transparent' like look of the colour clash). I like a lot of Spectrum games but Renegade I far preferred on the CPC.

The C64 was defintley over-hyped IMHO, similair to Green Beret. I found it too difficult and not much fun tbh

I remember when i first discovered Target Renegade on some C64 pirate compilation cassette that a friend gave me. I was so much in love, i couldn't believe that such a good beat em up was possible on C64: great graphics, smooth action, violence, great tune...it was like an arcade game dream come true.

I have really fond memories of the Melbourne House port of Double Dragon for the ST! I played it quite a bit with my sister when I was a kid.

Way of the exploding fist from M.H. was also an amazing game at the time.
