M.A.M.E Offender Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 M.O. is ready to rock the house with Twin Cobra. We've spent many an hour on this classic 1987 Vertical Shooter. Renegade is a great title, too. Time to play catch up...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hero2billions Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Renegade 75,250 One of my all time favorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youxia Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Wow, Twin Cobra is a total Raiden clone. Only problem is, it was released 3 years earlier Renegade was one of the Eighties-defining games for me, but I've only played it on the ZX. Arcade version is much, much harder... EDIT: Twin Cobra - 161, 120 Call me crazy but it's also more fun than Raiden Renegade - 23,200 Edited July 13, 2020 by youxia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Razzie.P Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Just now, youxia said: Wow, Twin Cobra is a total Raiden clone. Only problem is, it was released 3 years earlier Yeah, there outta be a law against turning back time and ripping stuff off. The jerks. Love the Raiden series, but I'm not that familiar with Twin Cobra. Looking forward to it. I only know Renegade from playing on NES or Master System (can't remember which) as a kid and remember being really sad that it "ain't Double Dragon," but played the heck out of it anyway, bc it was either that, or go outside.

+Razzie.P Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Renegade -- 28,000 No sir, I don't much care for this one. Feels like everyone has a 12" jab advantage over me. I managed to squeak past the first boss, then spam the jump kick on some bike riders, but not sure if I'll be getting better than this. I think I can make up for it on Twin Cobra though. ? That one feels like my kinda jam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynicaster Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Renegade 40,600 Twin Cobra 188,870 Renegade is very frustrating. Hit detection leaves a bit to be desired. Twin Cobra is a lot of fun. My only real complaint is the same complaint I have for the game that rips it off (ie, Raiden): the damn weapons are so anemic that I feel like I’m going to develop a repetitive stress injury mashing the fire button.

M.A.M.E Offender Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Twin Cobra - 947,440 Area 149, or almost halfway through the seventh board. This game gets hot fast! I progressed significantly on each run, with my score being the third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.A.M.E Offender Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Renegade may be frustrating, but it still is a better made game than Double Dragon, I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youxia Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Reason I like Renegade is because it's different from the usual brawler template of easily steamrolling everything to the right, only to stumble on some impossibly difficult boss. Here you actually have to think, maneuver and try to "solve" the areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
