Crash and Sinclair User both name Mike Lamb as the author of the Spectrum version. Crash's review header gives the producer as Imagine, and Sinclair User's Fax Box gives the label as Ocean. In its Christmas 1988 issue Crash profiled Lamb, of Ocean/Imagine, as best known for Renegade, Combat School (with Andrew Deakin) and Target Renegade, the last with its 90% from issue 52.	`p. 42 (image 42), Fax Box`	Magazine
Sinclair User reviewed the Spectrum version in June 1988 with ten stars out of ten, at £7.95, for 48K and 128K machines. Its Fax Box called it "Great to look at and better to play. Fast, exciting and terribly wince-making at points. Top-notch". The reviewer, whose signature reads as Jim Douglas, named the two-player co-operative option as the main difference from Renegade, likened the game to the coin-op Double Dragon, and called it "the most addictive game of its type I've played on the Spec", though one player alone has no computer partner and many screens are near impossible without teamwork.	`p. 42 (image 42), Target Renegadep. 43 (image 43), Target Renegadep. 43 (image 43), Target Renegadep. 43 (image 43), Target Renegadep. 42 (image 42), Fax Box`	Magazine
