[edit] Tape-Loading Issue

It is interesting to note that completion of this level represents a "point of no return" for the player, as the game tape has to be played to allow the subsequent level to load. Owing to the completely linear programming of the game, there is no game menu that more modern gamers are now accustomed to, meaning that upon failure to complete a subsequent level meant that the player has to rewind the game tape completely and "reload" the entire game which can take up to ten minutes.

This wasn't the case on the ZX Spectrum from what I recall (certainly not the 128K version which loaded the whole game in in one load). Any ideas what version(s) this was specific to?

The game was identical between 48K and 128K Spectrum versions, as I recall (and a quick check of my tap and tzx files seems to verify that). However, when run on a 128K Spectrum, the game would load all the levels in one hit, whereas the 48K model would perform level-by-level loading. Maybe this line should be removed from the article. --ledow 16:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] British Feel?

All the home computer versions have a distinctly British feel to them, as opposed to the normal American or Far Eastern beat-em-up themes.

Eh? It seems to me this game has a distinctly *American* feel to it, what with the levels set in shopping malls, sleazy city streets, an American-style bar etc. What exactly is British about it?

I was wondering this myself -- Zagrebo 20:53, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, as a "Brit" myself, I don't see how any beat-em-up game of this kind has a more "British" feel than any other - the similarity between British and American games is far different to, say, American versus Japanese games. This game certainly doesn't "feel" British to me, it's very "American" in terms of plot, locations, characters etc. This line should really be removed from the article. --ledow 16:13, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the line, as no-one has defended it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.25.106.209 (talk) 13:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC).

I made the original 'British feel' edit. Possibly, knowing the home computer versions were programmed in England has coloured my view of the game, but when I played it for the first time back in the day, I assumed from the inlay card and the settings that it was meant to be set in Britain (example: level 5, reminded me of a greasy boozer rather than an American-style bar). I still think it has an air of grubby inner-city British urban decay about it, unlike Renegade 1, but I guess that's just my opinion so not suitable encyclopedia material. It was my first ever Wikipedia edit, I've gotten more discerning since then :) Dantheman123 12:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ATTENTION!

HEY! This is NOT Renegade 2 for Command and Conquer. Why does the link lead here?!?!?!?!

Because this game is also known as "Renegade 2". HTH. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zagrebo (talk • contribs) 15:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC).
