RENDERING RANGER: R2
Released only in Japan nearly 20 years ago, Rendering Ranger: R2 arrives on the Super Nintendo at last!
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, 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:
Gut-wrenching side-scrolling action with sprawling stage design and cinematic presentation
Mind-blowingly fast horizontal shooting stages unlike ever seen before on Super Nintendo
Upgradable weapons, tons of enemies, dynamic on-scene mayhem at nearly every turn
Gigantic bosses fully rendered in 90’s Silicon Graphics
Timeless 16-bit action at its best from legendary game creator Manfred Trenz
Releasing worldwide for the very first time since its original release!
Every copy includes a newly translated version of the original Rendering Ranger: R2 manual—with an added retrospective on its development and prototype differences by Audi Sorlie—and a Ranger R2-themed smoke gray SNES cart that works on original hardware.
