And being a massive fan of the arcade original I dove straight in. The Christmas I recieved a Game Boy from my parents was made even better by the fact that one of the games they had bought me to play on it was Double Dragon. This alone should be incentive enough to save him…. At least the ending is intact, in fact the heroes’ mannish girlfriend’s buttock actually wiggles in the Genesis version. You remember those butter sticks that pop out and kill you in two hits? Well, that’s all gone and I missed them so bad. The last difference with the arcade is the removal of the extruding wall in the final section of the game. ![]() That is the kick input needs to be kick, kick, roundhouse as oppose to the arcade’s kick, then roundhouse. Aside from that issue, the kicks for whatever reason, requires an extra kick before a forward roundhouse. I find that to adjust to this problem, the button input requires a slight short pulse after the first two punches, follow by an uppercut. It comes out so fast that the uppercut will guarantee to miss the target and thus open the heroes for a trashing by the enemies. For one, the regular punch, punch, uppercut combo has an issue of being too fast. While true in every way, there are some issues to be have with the reprogramming. ![]() The punches, the kicks, the back elbow, the flip kick, the head butt, the throw, and the knee bash. The most important thing is does this game deliver ball kicking actions? Yes, it does. Perhaps this is the reason why it was rejected by Sega? I don’t know and it’s not important to know why the heroes have such a mannish looking girlfriend or what they do for happy hours. Perhaps this is what the arcade would had been like without the slow down? The second thing you will notice is that the heroes’ girlfriend looks like a transvestite. The first thing you will notice about this game is it runs really fast. This version of Double Dragon is the closest home port of Technos’ arcade iteration from 1986. Reprogram by Accolade in 1992 as an unlicensed Genesis cartridge. ![]()
