About This Game

THE LEGENDARY SUPER FAMICOM CULT CLASSIC IS BACK.

Developed by Manfred Trenz (creator of the Turrican series) and published by German software powerhouse Rainbow Arts, this game was originally released in 1995. Originally slated to come to the West as Targa, the game ultimately ended up as a Japan-only title, with only 10,000 copies printed, making it one of the most sought-after collectibles in retro gaming.

You are the Rendering Ranger known as Double R, a special forces soldier who must defend the Earth from a devastating alien invasion. Through nine levels of action platforming as well as blisteringly fast horizontal shooter stages, Rendering Ranger: R² is one of the greatest technological showcases ever seen on the Super Nintendo!

FEATURES:

Faithful emulation of Rendering Ranger: R² and its unreleased PAL version Targa with rewind and save features
Gut-wrenching side-scrolling action with sprawling stage design and cinematic presentation
Mind-blowingly fast horizontal shooting stages unlike any seen before on Super Nintendo
Upgradable weapons, tons of enemies, dynamic on-scene mayhem at nearly every turn
Gigantic bosses in sprites converted from pre-rendered 3D models
Timeless 16-bit action at its best from legendary game creator Manfred Trenz

TLDR: Play Contra this game sucks ass! I love classic games, but this one was all youtuber hype and graphics, but the stages, enemies, and somewhat the controls just suck or are super boring. The graphics are not worth looking at in order to suffer from boring music, stages, enemies, and balance...my goodness if I bought this from Funcoland back in the day, I'd ask for a refund; IT SUCKS!

Happy to see this game out in the US. NOT happy LRG stained it with their name and not happy I found out they were on this after paying for it.
