Renegade Software
Renegade Software was a UK-based games publisher, founded in 1991 by the Bitmap Brothers.

Their stated goal was to give game developers more artistic freedom and more recognition. One of the first games released by Renegade Software was Magic Pockets, for which they had struck a deal with music publisher Rhythm King to include a Betty Boo song in the game.
Later Renegade also published games by other developers and went on as one of the successful independent publishers of its time, until it was acquired by Time Warner in 1995 to became "Warner Interactive Entertainment Ltd", still publishing under the Renegade label. before merged with the European arm of Time Warner Interactive in the same year, Subsequently, in November 1996, the European division of Time Warner Interactive was sold to Midtown Manhattan-based, GT Interactive and the Renegade label ceased to exist.
