Imagine Software

I'm Lee.

Today we've parked on Wednesday the fourteenth of October, nineteen eighty-seven, when Ocean and Imagine's Renegade was the full-price street scrap flying out of W.H. Smith.

Ahead we've got the chart-topping single, Wednesday Telly, Toy of the Year, plus fresh Amiga on the shelves, sourced shop stickers, uh, the review desk, Renegade on, uh, three eight-bits, and, uh, the rows that followed the conversion.

Mark Webb's beside me.

Renegade itself then.

Technōs built the arcade as Nekketsu! Kōha Kunio-kun, uh, a schoolyard scrap, and Taito localized it for the West as a street vigilante collecting his kidnapped girlfriend.

Imagine Software under the Ocean label handled the British home conversions in September eighty-seven.

Mike Lamb coded the Spectrum, Ronnie Fowlds drew it, Fred Gray wrote the music, and Bob Wakelin, uh, painted the inlay, uh, everyone stared at in the shop.
