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?

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 can see this from both points of view, i think that the final pub level's bad guys have a very british gangster look to them and for some reason the way they head butt people also reminds me of britain!, the whole layout reminds me more of a british pub than American, as well as this, correct me if i'm wrong but don't british bulldogs attack you in one of the stages?, also the third levels punks really have an eightees britain look to them, the second level however seems to be more American in style and feel. Either way, the game is a british made game that is trying to be like Double Dragon and other beat-em-ups of the time, so it probably has an amalgamation of cultures —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.251.97 ( talk) 02:46, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
HEY! This is NOT Renegade 2 for Command and Conquer. Why does the link lead here?!?!?!?!
I notice this paragraph has been deleted at some point. Most of it was extraneous and speculative, but one clause I added - that Ocean bid for the official Double Dragon license, didn't get it, then went on to develop Target Renegade along similar lines - is the real deal. The programming team were interviewed in Retro Gamer magazine a while back, and said so, so I'll dig up the relevant issue. I think it's worth noting in the article someplace.
