If there was ever a game that is deserving of a modern-day remake/sequel on a larger console that stays true to the original side-scrolling beat 'em up formula, its Double Dragon.
You probably never played the game in the arcade then.. it always ran this slow. The hardware they used back then couldn't run so many sprites at once without slowdown.
1 of the kings of side scrolling beat'em ups(shares a seat with Final-Fight) with out a sci-fi theme(then I would have to say AvsP and D&DTT would be up there).
how the hell u use the elbow??? i never could make that move when i was playing the game.....and it got me angry when i was seeing back in 1989 as i recalled, more experienced players who were crushing enemies with elbow moves!! LOOLLL
this is my favourite arcade game, not a patch on todays graphics but i could play this all day, i saw this in a pub 2 weeks before it was closing down & when i went to make him an offer for it he'd already packed up & gone :-/ i'm still looking for it though :-)
11:34 - 11:37...where the fuck was he going?.....anyway good looking ot on the playthrough. brought back good memories.... but what i do'nt miss about these old school games is the slowdown...
Muy buen juego, siempre llegaba a la final y era dificl pasar a los toros con lanza, pero despues apunta de codazos los eliminaba a los malos en la final, gracias por el recuerdo de infancia!
There is a convenient mart/gas station down the road from where I live. They had this game in their back hallway twenty years ago, me, my brother and the entire neighborhood would crowd to play and watch. I still go in there from time to time, can still see everyone in the hallway. Great game and great memories.
man double dragon will always be the greatest "fighting" game ever i had a discussion with my boys at the job saying this isnt classified as a fighting game but street fighter was and im street fighter copied double dragon hard esp. when ryu and ken double spinning roundhouses for 3 seconds in the air who do you think they got that from? DOUBLE DRAGON!
I always loved this game as a kid despite the poor hit detection and choppy animation...and I always lost at least two lives trying to cross that goddamn bridge too, hehe.
And I also loved how I thought Mr. T was the first level end boss growing up XD

The best fighting game ever! Double Dragon 1 for the arcade! Wish it was still around. It just wasn't the same on home video game systems.

If that song was playing in real life and I was about to fight some people, I think I'd win.

Nice job. I would have liked to have seen the ending and you guys facing off, but I doesn't work with infinite health.
