Renegade ROM Description

NES Renegade: Relive the Brawling of the 1980s

The classic beat ’em up Renegade on the NES is back, so get ready for some violent throwback street fights. This is the epitome of classic fighting style.

As the Renegade, you are a strong guy on a quest to save your lover who has been kidnapped from a vicious crime lord. Using your arsenal of punches, kicks, and throws, you’ll take on gangs of gangsters, motorcyclists, assassins, and more over four stages.

Renegade established the beat ’em up genre with controls that were easy enough for anybody to pick up, yet combination attacks and tactics required expertise to master. The gameplay is simple to pick up yet challenging to master. Attack at the right moment to complete combinations, seize stunned targets, and let loose with your rage!

The gritty street fighting action that made Renegade a sensation is accurately recreated in this arcade version. On your mission for revenge, fight your way through dark alleys, murky waterways, subway platforms, and mob hideouts. The adversaries and urban environs bring to mind the mood of a vengeance movie from the 1970s.

Discover how beat ’em ups originated with Renegade’s innovative gameplay. It has influenced games like Final Fight and Double Dragon. There’s a reason why it served as the inspiration for a home computer spin-off series.

Get this classic NES brawler to relive a little of gaming history right now. Use your feet, fists, and whatever else you can get your hands on to give those guys a lesson. Just be ready for some really heated battles that end in knockouts!
