“I can't get enough of you, baby
I can't get enough, it's never enough
I can't get enough, I'm still hungry
Baby, give it up, 'cause I can't get enough, huh!”

@JThomasG71 Barbarian was definitely a more rewarding gaming experience.

“The Highlander, where is he?”
“You're too late. I've prepared him for you.”
“You waste your time!”
“My cut has improved your voice.”
“Rrr! Who is the woman?”
“She's mine!”
“Not for much longer. Tonight you sleep in hell. There can be only one!”

“Well, I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, I'm workin' all the time

It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the workin' man”

“Head into the headlight
Don't turn from the rain
There's a fire raging somewhere near
Like a longtime friend who's
Seen it darker than ebony
Take off on the turnpike
(Asking for the first call)
Give me more..”

@christhevillan 100%! It was the best of times. We were blessed, because it’s impossible to duplicate.

“Beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right (who's right)
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)..”

@christhevillan Still stands the test of time. Like yourself, I was lucky to play both versions. I do recall CU giving it a great score which was encouraging because Renegade deserved to be played by as many people as possible. Horribly difficult, but definitely worth playing on the Commodore.

@MarkRJones1970 Brilliant! Absolutely love how the b&w captures the ‘80s montage composition perfectly. The layered action elements along with the hero anchoring the whole thing really takes me back to movie posters of that time. Thank you so much for sharing this.

@MarkRJones1970 Our gaming heroes in rooms next to our other gaming heroes. Everything was right about this work of art.

“Captain's Log, Stardate 9529.1.

This is the final cruise of the Starship Enterprise under my command.

This ship and her history will shortly become the care of another crew.

To them and their posterity will we commit our future.”

“I'm a sexual innuendo
In this burned out paradise
If you turn me on to anything
You better turn me on tonight

Here I am
And you're a rocket queen
I might be a little young but honey I ain't naive
Here I am and you're a rocket queen, oh yeah..”

“There is the sun and moon
They sing their own sweet tune
Watch them when dawn is due
Sharing one space

We'll walk by night
We'll fly by day
Moonlighting strangers
Who just met on the way”

@Ivor_Long007 It’s hard to please everyone. Even Ocean as the powerhouse of publishers released some subpar games like Night Rider and Highlander. We just have to take the good with the bad and be realistic, and the reality like you said is that US Gold released some beauties.

“You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go..”
