Renegade – An Arcade classic as an Amiga AGA edition by Dave Douglas! [UPDATE]

In the 1980s Ocean Software ( Imagine Label) released a fine beat ’em up for many different 8bit systems. It was a game that involved you as a street fighter, fighting gangs, in order to rescue his girlfriend, who is being held captive by a mafia boss. Sadly, however, when it comes to the Amiga version, it was pretty terrible! With one person on the Lemon Amiga site saying it’s “pure crap.” Well, fast forward to today, and thanks to Douglas letting us know, he has released the Renegade Amiga AGA edition. An overhauled version that should be as faithful as possible to the Arcade.

Here’s the full details from Dave Douglas  “I disassembled the original code (6502) in Ghidra and rewrote the game logic for 68000, trying to be as faithful as possible. Of course, the graphics routines were completely rewritten. The music and sound effects use Frank Willes’ Protracker player routine.  Initial release is a single file so needs some fast RAM. I have tested it using 4mb fast on a standard A1200. “
