Ocean released the ZX Spectrum Renegade by September 1987 at £7.95, programmed by Mike Lamb.p. 34, RenegadeMagazine
Crash's review of the Spectrum version tells another story: the player, on the way to meet Lucy across town, gets off a train among muggers and fights through five places, the station, the pier, back streets, the streets near the meeting place and the meeting place itself, each to be finished within a time limit.p. 34p. 34p. 34Magazine
Crash gave the Spectrum version 89% overall, with 84% for presentation, 89% for graphics, 89% for playability and 87% for addictive qualities; its three reviewers gave 89% (Mike), 83% (Paul) and 94% (Ricky).p. 35, Renegade, ratingsp. 35, ratings boxp. 34, Mike's commentp. 34, Paul's commentp. 34, Ricky's commentMagazine
Crash's box called the Spectrum game "a beat-'em-up with real punch". Ricky thought it "the beat-'em-up to end them all", Mike one of the best around though too easy until the last screen, and Paul found the action can get boring after a few games.p. 35, general ratingp. 34, Ricky's commentp. 34, Mike's commentp. 34, Paul's commentMagazine
