Targa for SNES

BanishingFlatsAC · Dec 4, 2014

Just wanted to say a few words on this game. This is the unreleased US version of Rendering Ranger R2 for the SNES. The proto was recently bought buy BeaglePuss and his brother Mr Mark. They just recently finished up their release of the game. I had an opportunity to put about 4 hours into it and its an amazing game. Great gameplay and the chance to play the game as it was intended is awesome. I don't know if they are making more tbh, but I'm pretty sure they are gonna be releasing the ROM soon. If you're a turrican fan, do yourself a favor and give this version a whirl.

Never even heard of this. Sounds cool, though. I need to get a Super Everdrive...

Who developed it?

BanishingFlatsAC · Dec 4, 2014

It was made by Manfred Trenz, the guy who created the Turrican series.

I knew you guys would enjoy it. The game is fucking sick!

We've sold out of the release, so once the carts have all shipped we'll release the rom. I'll cross post here so members of NG get the heads up too.

The limited 150 hard copies are sold out, so I guess the ROM will be free as soon as all of the copies arrive to their destinations.

Edit: wow BeaglePuss we were writing at the same time

Yeah it sold out super fast, within a couple days. RR2 is an awesome game, really shows off what the SNES can do. Shame it never got a US (or even a bigger print) release back in the day.

Didnt know about this. Awesome news!
RR is one of the most impressive looking SNES games. Mr Manfred Trenz is a wizard when it comes to coding.

Great game. If you liked Turrican or Gun Lord, you'll like Rendering Ranger.

Will be very interesting to get the rom, my sd2snes will be all over it!

Mine arrived yesterday but i'm having my wife wrap it as a present - so I won't be playing it til' end of the month.

julencin2000 · Dec 7, 2014

Mmmm lucky you

Gentlegamer · Dec 9, 2014

I missed the repro sale so I'll have to settle for playing the ROM on SD2SNES.

BeaglePuss · Dec 9, 2014

Almost all copies have shipped at this point, so we'll be getting the rom out to everyone shortly. You'll be playing Targa on your flash carts before Christmas for sure.

Awesome, well done Beagle bringing this gem out.

Mendel · Dec 13, 2014

Where and when will the rom be released? Thanks

SouthAmericaNeo · Dec 13, 2014

This am look good and I am excite. It looks as no slowdown, how is that?

GhostSeed · Dec 13, 2014

I haven't heard of this before. I would have preferred the physical release but I'll definitely check out the rom.

xarcade · Dec 18, 2014

My SNES is ready. I just got a SD2SNES too!

The game was reviewed at SNES Central a while ago, pointing some differences between Targa and the retail Rendering Ranger release. It also includes a small interview with Manfred Trenz.

This does look really cool! Does anyone know if they released the ROM already?

That was an interesting, albeit poorly written (not surprising for a video game website), read. Thanks for posting the review.

Are there significant differences between this and just playing the Japanese Rendering Ranger game?

The article I quoted talks about a few of them in very brief detail:

"SNESCentral: What differences are there between Targa and Rendering Ranger?

Manfred Trenz: The entire graphics as well as some design changes."

kuze · Feb 25, 2015

That's awesome that you guys bought it. I had no idea it ever sold since the guy on AG was asking a ton of $ for it originally.

Jibbajaba · Feb 25, 2015

Wow. Well hopefully the ROM gets released. I am a big fan of Turrican/Gunlord, and would love to be able to play this. I would have bought it if I had known about it.
