Description

Full description: "Step into the world of Renegade, a classic arcade game introduced in 1986 by Taito. This game is a westernized conversion of the Japanese arcade game Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun, the inaugural game in the Kunio-kun series which includes Super Dodge Ball and River City Ransom. Renegade stands as an immediate technological predecessor to Double Dragon. This game first introduced several key features of the beat 'em up genre, including 4-directional control and punch-jump-kick play action. In Renegade, players control a vigilante, known as Mr. K in the NES version, who battles various street gangs in his quest to rescue his girlfriend. The game's playing field is limited to one two-screen-wide area and does not scroll continuously. Renegade, with its innovative gameplay and design, is considered one of the most influential titles in the history of the video gaming industry.

Game Controls
