GLRC- Renegade

Guru Larry's Retro Corner is a fantastic show. I also recommend to all the g1s his new 10-15 minute review show, Reviewmageddon. That show's gonna develop into something amazing.

Wow, I've never been on just after a video has uploaded. Sweet.

I actually played Renegade and loved it, but I can't believe Double Dragon was an unoffical sequel! I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about gaming history, especially with little known facts, but I always learns something new everytime I watch the GLRC. Cool stuff!

Great vid Larry! I swear you dig up some of the coolest video game trivia. Cheers.

Wow I never knew that River city randsom was related to that game crazy stuff.

Aside from the "Chase HQ" Retro Corner,this is most likely the only game that I can ever remember actually playing. However, I'm not sure if I really cared for it or not.

Not bad. Cheers.

Great vid.
And great trivia.

Great info and i played that game before it rocked.

I love these. They're so informative and interesting to watch. Keep em' comin'.

great to see lots of recent vids from Guru Larry. They are always very good.

and now you know!

I would never have known that was where Double Dragon came from! That's a lot of games spawned from just one game, which I have played before in this arcade that used to import games... but it's gone now.

Great video Larry, keep it up!

-The Jerk.

Wow, he really is a guru. His past videos were alright, and informative, but I thought I knew a lot about side scrolling beat 'em ups already--was a fan of them growing up. This is really interesting, though!

Man i knew double dragon was a spin off, but that many spinoffs? man. Also Laryy you are getting better as you go on.

I like japanese gangs, so knowing there are so many games, makes me happy.

Amazing job Guru Lary, Keep up the goo job.

You can't do anything else but love the little guy! :D

Friday is the time to expand my video game trivia. And this man delivers every time.

Can't say much that hasn't already been said but it is nice to know about the grandaddy of sidescrolling beatem' ups and the games it spawned because of it.

its true i tell thee!

Stay Free My Misery

Knowledge.

I've always liked Guru Larry's stuff and this is no exception. Another great opportunity for me to learn some new stuff and be entertained by it to. You make me want to be European!

GOOD JOB ON THIS ONE

This was great to see how the Sidescrolling series Double Dragon came to be. I never got to play this game but now after seeing it, I have to play it. The spin off games are great, my personal fav is River City Ransom on the NES and now finally it got a VC release with is great. Overall Guru Larry keep these classics alive with your reviews. Thanks

Very informative. I feel like a more well-rounded individual now.

Holy crap I would've never known that. That's what I love about the Guru, more informative then bazooka joe ;D

Those Gingers are alway causing so many problems. Good Review from the man across the Atlantic.

Great review, I've never known that double dragon actually came frome renegade. It's like HANDSOME TOMs USELESSSSSSSSSSSS KNOOOOOOOOOWLEDGE was still alive.

WOW I am impressed I had no idea that renegae was the parent of double dragon, that is a friggin sweet deal. its nice to learn something new especially about videogames.

I never knew Renegade had such an impact on the world of Beat Em Ups... I only played the NES version and it was TERRIBLE

I also never noticed all the homages to The Warriors in the game...
Heck, the level with the all female enemies could be considered a tribute to the Lizzies...

I highly recommend everyone to try out the Warriors game...
As far as movie games and 3D beat em ups go, it's one of the best...

Great Job Larry. I knew that Super dodge ball (advance) had some ties to Renegade but not Double Dragon.

"I may suck, but I'm still better than you." -Punnha Nom

Great as always. But because you brought it up I want to watch The Warriors now.

There's something i didnt expect at all, and im a double dragon fan :S

Great video and very informative, but for the world's franchises ie. super dodgeball etc. I was wondering if you kept some out of the list? I think Techno's Samurai and Techno's Ice Hockey is in it as well.

I had no idea that is how River City Randsom and Double Dragon came to be...

But now I know...

AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!!!

Wasn't their another game like this with the main character called Kunio Kun? The story was similiar, trying to find the toughest high school student in all Japan? It was a very awesome blend of River City Ransom and Street Fighter. My favorite part of the game was the enviroments. Spikes and electricity were all over the place.

and it's awesome! Keep up the great work, Guru!

Goes to show that there's always gonna be someone who knows more about games than you. I never even heard of Renegade before, much less knew that it spawned awesomeness like Double Dragon and River City Ransom.

Great video.

The whole time I was thinking it was like a non-SD version of river city ransom, made sense at the end though.

great job =]

I somehow expected River City Ransom, since it kinda looks like it, but Double Dragon? Very cool. I remember this Super Nintendo Japanese game that was similar where you bust out of jail and fight criminals a la River City Ransom and all the side scrolling beat-em-up games mentioned, but I didn't know what was really going on since it was in Japanese, so...

Great review, Larry. I always mark out for a ScrewAttack Europe video.

Well done that man.

Come join the fun at wonderwallweb.com

As always GL, your reviews are,were,and always will be...Awesomesauce (except for the Nights review, i just didn't like it XD)

Not only was it a great vid, I learned something new! Keep it up.

I have played Renegade on the NES before, and it was a good game. I'm surprised that game spawned up Double Dragon and started the beat em up genre.

Well done!

I love hearing about all of the amazing facts when Guru Larry talks about a game. I always learn something I didn't know.

Great video.

Very good video. Never knew that, Damn you and your amazing gaming knowledge Larry!!!

It sucked. It was just so bad. The game was just as hard as Double Dragon III on the NES. Ok, maybe not AS bad (I could get to level 3 or so) but man... it sure felt like it. Would of loved to played the arcade version though. Wow.

While Guru Larry's Retro Corners are not always my favorite, he does things a little bit differently than most of the other videos here at ScrewAttack.com. Guru Larry doesn't just rant about a video game for several minutes, but tells you why he's ranting about it. He delves much more into the history and lore of the video games and doesn't just blather on about nothing. I'd imagine that, if there was a video game trivia game show, Guru Larry would win every time.

I love these games and I am so ashamed that I didn't know about this, since I basically have all these games that came to america. Props to the Guru and keep laying the knowledge!
