Wow, Twin Cobra is a total Raiden clone. Only problem is, it was released 3 years earlier :D

 

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

True. Your back attacks are much better, you want people coming from behind

Renegade 224,250

Good luck kid
