Target: Renegade – Why Did the C64 Lose the Two-Player Co-op?
️ Target: Renegade (1988) – Commodore 64 Side-Scrolling Beat ’Em Up Classic Released in 1988 by Imagine Software under the Ocean label for the Commodore 64, Target: Renegade is a gritty side-scrolling beat ’em up and sequel to the original Renegade. You step into the role of a lone street fighter on a mission to rescue his kidnapped brother, Matt, from the clutches of the crime lord Mr. Big. The game spans five varied stages set across urban streets, warehouses, docks, and industrial zones, each packed with aggressive enemies including bikers, thugs, and attack dogs. Combat is built around punches, kicks, flying attacks, and the use of improvised weapons such as baseball bats and pool cues found throughout the levels. Progression depends on mastering crowd control, positioning, and precise timing, as enemy numbers and aggression increase rapidly.
