  • First of all your not even reviewing this game on an original master system but an attachment, secondly this port is a lot more faithfull to the arcade original than the NES version ever was.

  • Review fail...

  • versión sms mejor la nes

  • I love this reviewer, but he's simply wrong here. This version of Double Dragon on the SMS was not only extremely fun, but it was one of the best SMS games.

  • Lol You're a fuckin' dumb shit dude, InecomCompany, whoever you are. This is a classic!

  • @cryptichearts He said he didn't like the Sega Master System version. Stop being mad over someone's opinion of a game and stop hating on a great entertainer who makes great reviews! I personally like Double Dragon, although I've not had the luck to play the original NES or Sega Master System version.

  • @awesomereece123 I raged at him like that because I grew up with the SMS version. And, it was good! And here he is trashing it.

  • @cryptichearts It all comes down to opinion, he just didn't like the Sega Master System's version of Double Dragon. That's all.

  • The Genesis version isn't much better. The music is screechy at certain parts and the gameplay is pretty slow for that time. Hit detection can also leave you frustrated at how often you're getting hit AFTER you press the buttons and nothing happens. I also found it annoying that wherever you moved, the opponents moved WITH you as almost a mirror image.

  • I think this version is alot better then what the reviewer is giving it credit for. Had lots of fun with this game in the late 80's. I personally thought it was better then the NES version. Now the Atari 7800 is by far the worst version of Double Dragon and I like the 7800 but they butchered this game on that console.

  • The SMS versions of games more often tried to mimc the actual arcade gameplay, whereas Nintendo versions would abandon the arcade gameplay altogether and change the game into something that caters more to the system's capability and game length.

    Given the systems' inferiority to the hardware of the arcade namesakes, more often than not the NES games ended up being better games on their own merit since the system could actually run them well. Sometimes the SMS pulled off a fun conversion though

  • Triple thugs triple thugs!! Beat em up beat em up!

  • the atari 7800 version of the game is horrible as well

  • Nigga just shut up and let me hear the fucking game!

  • The nes version is crap

  • Way too harsh, surely this is better than the NES version. NES version doesn't even have 2 player...

  • I remember sending hours on those games back in the day but 3 was my fav. It took forever to beat Egypt stage 5, and yes, nes port was better.

  • Is flicker such a big deal? Back in 1988 we didn't give a crap about it.

  • If you played it on 2 player you had to fight each other at the end to see who gets the girl which I always remember being mad lol

  • 1:38 OH YEAH!

  • I like how the blinking light in the upper right-hand corner says Press Start for the second player to join but there is no Start button on the Sega Master System controllers. :0

  • @LevitatingFox I hate to break it to you, but button 1 is also the start button--it says "Start" right above it.

  • have you done a review of the mega drive version and you should compare all Double Dragon

  • Sega went for "arcade faithful," but system wasn't up to task. NES is more fun.

  • @pacmman it's not that the system wasn't up to the task. It would have been really awesome if you had the right programmers making it. If the programmers who made it in the arcade, made it on the Master System, it wouldn't look as good as the arcade but it would be pretty close.

  • Seta was more of an arcade port, nes was a totally different

  • This is way better then the nes ver. Nes you couldnt play co op

  • @1234321hell

    of course you can do that

  • LOL This version sucks!! NES version FTW

  • atleast its better then the nes version

  • Mark should review the genesis version

  • I loved this game on the Master System. I dont remember it flickering as much as this video.

  • AH, DOUBLE DRAGON...

    a game close to many a retro gamers heart. I too, however, share the sentiment that this is a poor version, not in terms of being graphically 'faithful' to the Arcade version, however, the gameplay is poor. I'm no Nintendo fanboy, and I'm speaking PURELY from personal opinion and experience, however, I genuinely believe the best versions of the Double Dragon series available reside solely on the NES (even inc. DD3!!)

    Yes... even better than the 'legendary' Arcade versions.

  • I wish this video didn't have some dick talking shit over it. This game is the nuts I still play it to this day, guy don't know what hes talkin about.

  • I played both. no difference

  • wow this dude is stupid, that is a classic on sega master systems and i thoguht the music and sounds rocked on sega master systems, like chop lifter, zillion, rocky and others

  • 2d games will always rock, unlike today's games, which really really suck because they try 2 hard with all that unnecessary "special affects" like super - buff dudes, unnecessary fatalities(Mortal Kombat?), stupid talking(at least with most 2d, u read a story, not listen 2 annoying talking voices), & other unnecessary features. at least with 2d, there's a certain mystery, not everything has 2b so "fantastic" or "life - like." in short, 3d games of today suck & 2d games will always rock

  • Back in 89 I owned both the NES and SMS versions and I personally had more fun with this version than the NES version. I like the graphics on this one much better and you get all the moves from the beginning unlike the NES version where you slowly get a new move when you reach a certain score. Unless you use the game genie. The biggest thing is 2 player simultaneous playing.

  • sega version wasn't so bad.

  • the player sucks

  • The Sega Genesis version of Double Dragon is good. Very close to arcade perfect

  • I never played the Nes Version. I played this one.

  • if you are a big fan of double dragon, see my videos, and you will get surprised! welcome to leave comments

  • 01:26:00 damn rick roll'd again

  • @NWNisFUN LOL

  • @NWNisFUN Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed Astley on that poster.

  • Comment removed

  • The flicker is pretty brutal, granted, but it's actually a lot closer to the arcade than the crappy NES version.

  • @randomartist01

    Retro Gamer Mag rated this version as the best port... despite the flickering, it actually plays better than most other versions, has better graphics and unlike the Nes version, actually has a proper two player mode.

  • 3:55 hulk was beaten by lee brothers

  • WOW this is one of the times where i wish i was born in the 80s unfortunately i was born in the 90s where the 3D invaded console games where i couldn’t play 2D games

  • this was my first purchased game . I played many hours and I thought wonderful when I was 8 years old.

  • @pliniomsann

    It is a great game.

  • @colliric i know

  • DOUBLE DRAGON ALL THE WAYYY!!!!

  • I had this game for my sms, and I don't remember any flicker. I know you have the sms for genesis gizmo but you may want to find a real sms and try some of these games again. This and R-Type specifically.

  • Personally, I think this was a very good port. Not as playable or fun as the Nes version, but it is far more similar to the arcade.

  • MANNNNN! This guys reviews are are awful, He plays the games for a few hours ??? Does no research and doesnt seem 2 no what hes talking about,Then calls it a REVIEW, must only care about views ?? How can he call them REVIEWS ?? First impressions maybe but REVIEWS ??? such an injustice for these games.Like he just picks a game plays it for 5 mins then talks a load of nonsense about it then racks up 75,000 views.

  • i dont know why you get so much flick on your sms games is it possible because you play them thru a genisis? i get next to no filicker with my sms 2 and is one of the reasons why i like it better than the nes

  • Did you rate Atari 7800 Double Dragon by chance? Never played that one but looks (and definitely sounds) horrible. I would assume it is a MUCH worse version than the SMS version. (Took me a few tries to get this comment right. lol)

  • @LedWilde I don't know think he did that version yet. Maybe when he gets a copy from Frank in L.A. or something.

    I do remember playing the 7800 version once... I remember it being not very good... and much worse than this.

  • @crisisded The 2600 is probably the worst it gets, never played it, but it seems pretty good for the 2600 at least.

  • The graphics looks good here but the movements don't seem anywhere near as smooth as the NES. Lousy sound too. Looks fun but I don't know. I didn't know anybody back in the 80's/early90's who had a Sega Master System. We all had NES's and some of us had Ataris too. Never a SMS. I met one person who had a SMS in 1992. I didn't play it but he said it was not anywhere near as cool as NES. Is that true?

  • @LedWilde Not Entirely, the SMS does have certain titles that make it worth having a SMS, and this one isn't one of them.

  • @thatguyontheright1 Makes sense. There has to be some great games on the SMS. As a kid I wanted every video game system regardless of what others said. Probably would have liked NES the best still but would have been in heaven if I owned every system.

  • Comment removed

  • This version was more faithful to the arcade game by far.

  • I totally disagree ! The NES version was worse than this one. Moreover, It was possible to play with 2 players on the Master system version (not on the NES version). The best version of this game was the Nintendo Gameboy advance.

  • @guile4571 Have to disagree about the GBA being best. MAME is the best ;P

  • @guile4571 the atari was the worst

  • Dude,you said it has horrible music because you were playing the English version of the game,as some Japanese Sega Master Systems were equipped with a Yamaha 2413 sound chip to make the sounds and music sound better than their English counterparts.

  • Is this the worst version? The NES version is better than this one? I hate NES version, it's slow and the graphics are horrible. The MS version have more colors, it's fast and even more playable.

  • the atari 2600 version of double dragon is the worst

  • I had them both, I liked the Master System version better. It was more faithful to the arcade version.

    The reason the game was a hit in arcades was because of the co-op gameplay which isn't available in the NES version.

  • good review!

  • Bad review! This game was and still is way better than the NES version. Man, I enjoy most of your other reviews, as I was always more of a SEGA fan. But, wow this review was way off.

  • Holly shit i love this game!! i had both master system and megadrive/genesis versions.

  • fuck and I just bought it.....

  • this was a fucked up review , but i'm not the type lets other people's opinions my law so i'll just say to those curious, play it . it's not a bad game.....

  • I orderd this game off ebay!

  • I like this game now more than I did previously. I actually prefer it to the Genesis. You have to give it a chance.

  • O_o the sega master system looks like a tank compared to the genesis system (first time seeing one).

  • @compwiz309 Thats a genesis add on, thats not realy a master system

  • this bloke is a fuckin idiot

  • @raybo135 your dad is a fuckin idiot Mark's awesome.

  • The best adaptation of the arcade game. The NES was a completely different game. Should've called it something else. And no two players, come on. Back in the day, co-op games were extremely rare, and this was one of the best ones out there.

  • Dude i have to disagree, yeah the game blinks a lot, but the music is a good 8-bit adaption. Play the atari2600 version, not as good as this one. I just got it for Christmas this year and it is really fun.

  • THAT CAR IS BADASS!

  • I would gave to say the atari 2600 version is the absolute worst in Double Dragon ports.

  • Dude what do you expect the video game music to be like back in the 80's, did you expect game developers to put linkin park or something, IT WAS THE 80's. You didn't have to replace the music with your own bullshit one. Many of us likes the original catchy old school video game music. I'll say do this video again but without you complaining so much like a little girl and keep the original game music without replacing it with your bullshit.

  • Ever played the Atari 2600 version? It's surprisingly good, and it's amazing it exists in the first place.

  • i remembered playing this version coop with my friend back in the old days, i wanted to experiance it again so i bought the NES version and there was no coop, i think that alone makes this version better

  • The music has been slowed down, thus making it bad. Although the graphics are damn better, the NES version had better gameplay.

  • He's obviously never played the spectrum version...

  • Quite cruel to consider this the worst version. IT was far superior to the NES version IMHO. And I am a Nintendo FanBoy :D

  • I love the music in Double Dragon!

  • What horrible music?

    What do you expect from a 4 channel sound chip? HD superior 720p Laser Active Justin Beiber garbage perhaps like todays music?

    The music in all honesty is very well done and this game has some catchy themes.

  • @Adam060756: I was upset when he replaced the original song and added his bullshit on it. Plus he kept complaining too much about it. Like who the fuck told him to play an old school game right lol

  • @r25rjr I don't know man I love this game myself, I finished it without any problems the other week.

    Maybe Mark the uploader didn't play the game enough to see how much better it is over the NES version.

    I think people today expect too much from old video games, there's too much complaining, people will complain if it's not stereo, if it's not HD, if it's doesn't have this or that. if it's PAL 50Hz, just shut up and play the cunt!

  • @Adam060756: I hope he see's our comments dude lol. I couldn't agree more with you. I honestly thought I was the only retro gamer in the world, until I've discovered this and your channel.

  • PUSH 1 OR 2 PLAY START BUTTON

    play 1 or 2 push start button 0:25

  • That red car is fucking huge.

  • I wish cross platforms would be more like this nowadays so it would be more beneficial to own all the consoles.

  • The worst version is the Atari 2600 one.

  • I had 3 videos one from the master system, one from the arcade and one from the NES. Beetween NES and Master System. Master system wins

  • This brings back memories man ! this was one of my favorite games wish i still had my system

  • This brings back memories man ! this was one of my favorite games

  • It saddeness me that the Sega Master System version of this game looks better than the Atari ST version. At least IMO.

    Even though the Atari ST version was closer (looks) to the arcade version. Yeah, I know, tough to explain.

  • I only played DD3 as a kid, which sucks, so I never liked the series.

  • Comment removed

  • this version sucks

  • the 7800 version is worse it has the same music as the 2600 music version of the same no flicker though

  • Also saying this game is better than the NES version because it's more like the actual arcade game is an awful reason to call it better.

    Because as it stands it's a very inferior port, while the nes version wasn't a port at all. I like that NES games like this, Ninja Gaiden, Contra and Bionic Commando weren't exactly like the arcade games, instead becoming new games in their own right, and actually superior to the originals.

    Multiplayer doesn't make this version better either, or good.

  • @kingboobs20 Ninja Gaiden and Double Dragon were better on the arcade

  • Sega Genesis Power Base converter generates twice the flickering than a real Sega Master System console! - I had both back in the day.

  • nes version way better it's a classic

  • True there was flicker and perhaps the hit detection really was bad, but this was a much better port of the arcade than the NES one and I have the NES one. On the NES you had to level up, in the arcade version you already started with all your moves. Plus the arcade version is much harder. Bobo brothers (Those big guys.) do not even show up for the NES until mid to almost the end if I recall correctly. NES had no two player mode at the same time either although it does have a Vs mode.

  • lol I was like what the hell is that music. "I couldn't take the music anymore..." nice.

  • for me this was better than the nes version this is an arcade port not like the nes. But the perfect port was the genesis one I love that game no mater what the people says about the music, the genesis one the speed was also better the arcade one has slowdowns.

  • Worst version of Double Dragon ever has to go to the Atari 2600 version. Just imagine trying to play Double Dragon with one button. It's worse than what you're imagining.

  • this game was shit i had this on sega mastersystem always played it with my brother and when we fishend of the boss we always did a cool move at the same time during the photo moment...these kinda memories always makes me feel sad kinda strange thumbs up if you feel me

  • Both the Nes and Sega MS versions of Double Dragon are terrible in my opinion. The Gameboy version is surprisingly good though xD

  • 1:28 rick astley?

  • This was good con back in day,had all the bosses,nes had none,not even gun boss and most baddies were identical

  • they have genesis version thats pretty good it plays well

  • Double Dragon on the Master system is an arcade port. Sega did a good job bring the arcade feel to the home console. With what sega had to work with in the mid to late 80's . Double dragon is good game for the master system. Nintendo learned a lot form sega!!! Nintendo Your Welcome

  • I don't know where is the criteria of this guy... Nes version was worse.

  • He's Probably thinking about the NES Version of Double Dragon II (2) which was probably the best fighting Game I have ever plaed for the NES. Seriously, it's Long, Full of Bad Guys, has solid Music, Headlock Moves (depending on what direction you are pressing when they are in headlock) & the whole Game runs fine even in 2 player. It's the Shit & anyone who loved this? Try the 2nd one for the NES. Is there a 2nd one for this console I wonder? Prob Not as good. But the 1st one for NES SUCKED BALLS

  • @therealKINDLE

    It absolutely did not. The first one for the NES was awesome and way superior to this.

    I do like the Master System though.

  • Oh man I had this back in the day!!! Loved this game.

  • Played it as a Kid and it flickered very much. I think this Version is much more like the Arcade one and way better then the NES Version.

  • I dont remember it flickering either are you sure its the game?

  • this guys voice is annoying as shit, and this game was awesome as shit when it came out, the coop was sweet

  • OK looks bad motherfucker but those time this was one of a few game that you play simultaneously with you friends, your brother, you don't shit about reviews stupid motherfucker.

  • Looks like shit, but Double Dragon 3 for NES was by far the worst of the series.

  • @jgplummer i found an emulator four double dragon foor for nes. it sucks more then paris and perez hilton combined.

  • peeps try double dragon advanced on gba its the ultimate double dragon game .

  • Hard to hit people, you don't know what your talking about. I was a master at this game, I could get through the first two levels without getting hit by anyone and still beat on those cronies, it just took practice.

    Great game thanks for the vid, it brought back some great memories.

  • more like double shit!

  • I prefer this one to the nes...

  • hmm, i never really liked double dragon, no matter what system it was on. i love beat em ups, just not this series

  • WOW!!!! Double Dragon all the way across the sky!!! What does that meaaaaan??

  • why everyone trying to be as cool as AVGN? You know what? YOU SUCK

  • @ixonixas hes not trying to be cool like angry video game nerd....he gives one bad review and you think hes a retro game trash talker? no, if you bother to watch his review he LOVES retro games....most of them. but not all of them

    he says both good and bad about games and gives his honest real opinion....it would help if you knew that

  • @Amaranthus616 *bother to watch his other reviews

  • Wow. Double Dr__on. I don't think I ever played this before.

  • I LOVED this game when i was growing up. Yeah it may not be like the game graphics of today but it was a really fun game to play.

  • NES version can't be topped

  • This was not the worst ohhhhh noooooo the Amiga Double Dragon was the worst by far.

  • have to laugh how abobo smashes through the wall but the hole is twice his actual size, classic stuff.

  • God damn the CGR theme is catchy. Does anyone know where I can get an MP3 of it?

  • I got this game for my Master System by mailing in some proof of purchases for some freebie offer. Took like 6 months for it to show up. I thought it wasn't, until one day it just arrived. The game was not the best, but it was good for the Master System. Brother and I would kill lots of time co-op'ing on this.

  • this one was better than the nes version

  • Oh yeah, Super Double Dragon for SNES was pretty awesome.

  • 0:11 ..... we just beat the DRAGOOOOOOON! sorry I had to say it

  • mee mee mee

  • news flash dork the atari version is way worse

  • Here is the closest rendition of the Arcade Double Dragon

    Genesis>NES>Crappy Ports on other home systems>Master System.

  • @IvoryGecko1993 XBox Live Arcade version = best

  • The worst incarnation of Double Dragon besides the Atari one though was part 3 on Nintendo.

  • all the people who had sega say it was better but the nes version was an all

    around better game and i would say that sega had a few good games BUT!!

    the only ones who complain are the geeks who had sega and played alone at home while everone hung out at the kids house with the nes.

  • @oOConspirASSy When I was a kid, everyone had an NES. Whenever myself, and people I knew met someone who had a Sega Master System, our ears would raise, and we would wanna play it. Master System had some cool games, and was more arcade like. Now Genisis was neck and neck withe SNES so the shoe was about on the same foot when the next generation came out.

  • @RHart51680 yeah the first question I asked kids that had a Master System was if they had Double Dragon lol.. always wanted to try that version because I heard it was better but never did

  • I remember when both nes and sega came out with this game. There was such a huge controversy cause the NES was one player and the Sega was 2 player. My Sega friends thought this was proof that Sega was better then nintendo. I've played both and even though it's a let down DD for Nes was one player, the graphics, animation, music, and gameplay was miles ahead of the Sega game. But I understand some people liking the Sega Double Dragon cause it's more true to the arcade.

  • just bought this game for my genesis ... than realised i need a mother fu*king power converter lol!!

  • I got this game for my master system and it was so difficult I thought it was broken XD. However, no flicker with my game.

  • I love the sequel on the NES and hate the first. The SMS version is amazing, it's more reminiscent to the arcade and has co-op but the NES had neither.

  • If you think this versions bad Mark, then you need to check out the C64 version. Now that makes the Ms version look like God.

  • @bazfanv2 Well I guess you haven't heard of the atari 2600 version that is baaaad! LOL

  • @TheSmashgamer The 2600 version, oh yeah i've played that, it doesnt deserve to be credited as double dragon.

  • the NES version was better.... but there was a version, I can't remember on which system, that was horrible. I rememebr it was on arcade... and just terrible.

  • The Sega Master System basically seems to be an upgraded Colecovision. It has the same processor, with similar sound and video chips. Impressive little machine though.

  • Dude, your playing it on a cart adapter... get a master system 2 and play it on that, like it should be....

  • O_o NES version sucked compared to the SMS version. 

  • lol a NINTENDO FANBOY the master system version has 2 players coop and nintendont
