There's a discussion on the English Amiga Board where we are trying to work out whether Renegade 3 on the Amiga was an Ocean game or somebody knocked it up on their own as a homebrew version. Does anybody here know about the Amiga version? Some screenshots here: hol.abime.net/4383Any information you Ocean chaps can provide would be fantastic thanks! (If it's not a legit Ocean product, is there a story behind why the game didn't come out?) |

It definitely existed as an official version - dunno why it wasn't released.
One of the chaps at the office worked with the guy that wrote it - it was apparently around about 80% complete when it got canned.
R3 wasn't one of Ocean's greatest achievements - maybe it showed in the Amiga version and they cut their losses.

Does that mean the version that has been spread on the net (and that we have screenshots of on HOL) is the 80% complete version that got canned?
Or is the Ocean version long-gone and the one we have listed is a homebrew job? Are these names familiar to anyone?

I'll ask the chap at work tomorrow - but the programmer name doesn't sound familiar.
Actually come to think of it - if the Amiga and ST versions were by the same person I may still have the source lying around to the ST version - I'll check the credits in that!

My artistic `skills` are limited to say the least, but I reckon with a bit of effort even an artistically challenged person like myself could have equalled what was there. |

Dunno if it helps any of you retro hunters out there - but the chap that wrote the Amiga version was called Dave Harrison.
