Item Description
Before Double Dragon, before River City Ransom, there was a lone brawler waiting on a subway platform for trouble to show up. Renegade is where Technos Japan's street-fighting legacy begins. Designer Yoshihisa Kishimoto drew on memories of his own high school fights for the original Japanese game, Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun, and its hero Kunio went on to become the company's mascot. In the Western release he is Mr. K, a fighter cleaning up a city overrun by gangs.
The fights take place in compact, two-screen-wide arenas rather than long scrolling streets. A gang wades in a few at a time, and once you thin them out the boss steps in for a one-on-one showdown. The attack buttons are tied to direction, striking left or right rather than simply punching or kicking, which takes a moment to learn and then makes surrounded fights feel tactical. Grab an enemy for knee strikes, throw him across the arena, or pin a downed thug and keep swinging.
Technos built the NES version in-house, and it adds ideas the arcade never had. Stage two opens with a side-scrolling motorcycle chase, kicking bikers off their rides before the gang on foot arrives. Stage three throws a gang of women at you, led by a hulking boss who will not go down easily. The finale is a sprawling gang hideout of rooms and doors, where a wrong turn can cost you dearly.
Renegade is tough, fast and a little rough around the edges, which is exactly its charm. Kishimoto's next project was Double Dragon, and the Kunio line led to River City Ransom, so this cartridge is the place where the NES beat 'em up family tree starts. For fans of Technos brawlers, it is required play.

About the game
Unlike Technos' subsequent game Double Dragon, the playing field is limited to one two-screen-wide area (a subway platform, a harbor, an alley, a parking lot and the hideout of a gang) and does not scroll continuously. Out of the four stages in the game, the first, second and third each begin with the player fighting a group made up of two different types of small fry enemies: one with fewer hit points and a stronger attack (usually armed with a weapon) and one with more hit points, but with a weaker attack and the ability to grab the player from behind, making him vulnerable to other enemies' attacks. When only three underlings remain (in any combination of the two) their boss will come in from the sidelines and join the fight. When the boss is defeated, any remaining enemies retreat off the bottom of the screen, and the stage ends. The second stage follows this same formula, but begins with a series of enemies riding motorcycles trying to run the player down, and brings in the normal enemies once the bikers have been defeated. The third stage is a gang of women; their boss is a very large woman who cannot easily be knocked to the ground.
