Gameplay

Target renegade puts the player in control of fighter “Renegade” with the task of eliminating incoming enemies and reaching the crime kingpin Mr. Big.

Each level is comprised of several screens, which the player must move through by exiting from the right-hand side of the screen once all current enemies are defeated.

Find the doorway at the end of each level to progress to the next.

Enemies

There are five enemy variants in Target: Renegade, each taking on a different appearance in each level.

Melee
Melee enemies will move towards the player and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Special Melee
Special melee enemies will always dodge a jump kick, and must be defeated using other attacks.
Motorbike Melee
Motorbike enemies appear at the beginning of the game, and will ride a fast motorbike towards the player attempting to knock them down. Hit this enemy with a jumping kick to knock them off their motorbike.
Armed Melee
Armed melee enemies enter the screen wielding a melee weapon. If an armed melee opponent is knocked down, their weapon can be picked up by the player.
Ranged
Ranged enemies appear in level 2, and appear on the left-hand side of the screen at random intervals. Ranged enemies shoot at the same horizontal level of the player. If the player is hit by a bullet, they are knocked to the floor and lose a life instantly.
