Pressing up+left+fire does an ankle kick to the right.

Sorry for dumb question but what are we supposed to do here?

lol at the bullshitter

the one at my school had me convinced he had edited the game to make the moves deadlier

'There's a section that takes place in a multi-story car park' is from a review of Target Renegade in Sinclair User magazine.

I don't understand anything!

When you load up a beat-em up game, play it and if you find any of the descriptions mentioned put a tick next to it, if that game has all of the descriptions then shout Bingo...
It's a fun way of passing the time.

First-person shoot-em-up bingo......

Because no matter the setting, past present or future, and regardless of the enemy being Nazis, vampires, cyborgs, aliens, robots, orcs, hellspawn or Soviets, sooner or later you'll end up fighting

If you can tick off 5 boxes in a row - horizontal, vertical or diagonal - you get to shout "BINGO!". First person to shout bingo wins.

(For the record, I'm no fan of actual bingo, 'tis a very boring game that fascinates pensioners.)

Looks like the delights of Bingo never made it to the shores of Poland or Spain. According to Wikipedia it stated in Italy.

Yeah, I'll give that a nod, although I just wanted to present the cliches of beat 'em ups as a bingo card for comedy value.

A few of them are a little more inspired by arcade/Sega Mega Drive games (like Final Fight and Streets Of Rage), as the Speccy doesn't have that many scrolling beat 'em ups.

I've nothing against the genre - Double Dragon is my favourite arcade game of all time. It's just that I've been playing a lot of them recently to do a video for my forthcoming retrogaming YouTube channel, and discovering the games creators often took cues from movies like The Warriors. Now that's a film which is undeniably the inspiration for Renegade. (I'm close to saying Renegade is a game of The Warriors in all but name.)

I love that underground railway stations are a typical backdrop for these games, and I'm nerdy enough to want to sit down and write a beat 'em up that is actually set on the London Underground, with as many stations as possible in it.

The cliche of these violent subways (also depicted famously in the opening titles of The Equaliser) made me very nervous the first time I set foot on the New York Metro.

Also if you drop a weapon after being hit, it will disappear from view.
