Description

Renegade for the Sega Master System brings the tough, no-nonsense beat ’em up action of the arcades to the home console. As the street-smart hero, you battle through waves of thugs across multiple urban stages — subways, back alleys, and docks — each packed with enemies waiting to swarm you. Using punches, kicks, grabs, and throws, the combat is simple yet satisfying, laying the groundwork for later brawlers that defined the genre. Renegade’s raw, street-level design, with its focus on short, intense encounters and gritty atmosphere, makes it an important piece of gaming history. Whether taken on for nostalgia or to experience one of the first true side-scrolling beat ’em ups, Renegade remains a standout title on the Master System.
