Double Dragon

Old school goodness, anyone remember this classic, that had a bunch of ripoffs, like Bad Dudes?

I have it on MAME. God it takes me back to my gaming heyday. Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja had an appeal of it's own. For one thing it was about twice as fast.
Yep, so many games owe it to the great granddaddy of beat-em-up, Double Dragon.

Double Dragon is a classic.

Super Double Dragon, however, is a benchmark still today.

It's still better than almost every scrolling Beatemup. Only the likes of Devil May Cry and God Of War even come close to being as much fun.

Even with the tinny sounds and limited graphics, you still fell one hundred percent in control of your character, and getting beaten feels fair. I miss beatemups like this. Too many games focus on you pulling off moves that look great but have no bearring to what you are actually doing with the controller. Double Dragon makes you feel like you have landed every single blow yourself.

You should go by it at a swap usa, or rhino.

The game was VERY good and balanced...

It's amazing how Double Dragon has been etched on the collective consciousness. Even my friends who weren't into gaming know and respect Double Dragon.
My brother and I still have a laugh whenever we roll up the garage rollerdoor from the inside and stroll out DD style.

Double Dragon (and a lot of old games) IMO have a lot more replay value and a lot more gameplay than most new games.

Never played Super Double Dragon tbh.
