    Holy crap, this game is tough in parts. One level (Stage 7?) is absolutely overwhelming. Enemies or projectiles are sometimes very hard to spot because the background has so much yellow in it. Manfred once said about Turrican 2 that the game was meant to be harder and that players should be biting the edge of the table out of desperation. So what about Rendering Ranger R2? Are we supposed to bite into a steel plate…

    Okay, to WHO THE HELL EVER actually** beat this game, legit, is a liar. Between stages 6 and 7 is becomes quite apparent that you're at the final boss. I mean, considering how difficult it was to even get to those bosses. Stage 8 and 9 are SADISTIC. I could *not* imagine someone constantly putting quarters in this thing and actually came out happy they've played it. The rewind feature is, hardly helpful. This game…
