Renegade Racers Revealed

Developed by Promethean Designs (of Picassio fame), Renegade Racers looked set for a February 2000 release at the hand of almost-defunct outfit Interplay. A kart racer in the same vein as Crash Team Racing or Speed Freaks, but with overtones of Diddy Kong Racing (hovercraft are heavily featured), Renegade Racers was quietly pulled from Dreamcast release lists and the low review scores of the PlayStation game quite possibly had a hand in that. There is precious little information available online regarding the long lost Dreamcast port of this fairly generic racer, but The Dreamcast Junkyard is on hand to fill in the gaps with the following video. Enjoy...

Wow thanks for getting gameplay Tom! Interesting to say the least. Hell, from what I can tell it looked pretty complete? I would love to play it on the system just to be able to say I had a new game for the machine. Honestly it doesn't look too bad.

Graphically it looks alright, only problem I seen was a tiny bit of pop in like 2 times throughout the playthrough.

Don't forget Loony Toons Space Race! Hands down the best kart racer on the DC (does Episode 1 Racer count)?

You kept saying demo in the video. Is that the only amount of game available for Renegade Racers, or is there a more complete game like The Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas or Half-Life floating around out there?
