Renegade vs The Adventures of Bayou Billy

Renegade puts you in the shoes of a street‑wise vigilante battling gangs across four distinct urban stages, from a subway platform to a mobster’s hideout. The game features fixed two‑screen arenas, a simple three‑button control scheme, and a cycle of increasing difficulty after each rescue. Originally released in 1987 by Technos Japan, the title has been ported to modern consoles, bringing retro hack‑and‑slash action to the Nintendo Switch.

The Adventures of Bayou Billy is an action-packed NES title from Konami released in 1989. Players control Billy, a tough New Orleans survivor, as he battles through nine stages using punches, kicks, weapons, shooting segments, and even a racing mini‑game to rescue his girlfriend Annabelle from the crime boss Godfather Gordon. The game blends beat‑em‑up, shooter, and racing gameplay into a varied retro experience.
