Double Dragon

The original Double Dragon arcade game is one of my all time faves, absolute classic.

Also loved Renegade too.

Look forward to this mate.

Loved TR on the speccy, but it was just a little to easy (even for me and I am crap at games). Finished it first day I got it.

Yeah it was an easy game. The remake will hopefully be a bit harder, it's going to have 2 extra levels and a few of the bad guys from Renegade 1 thrown in.

Heh, it was the version on the left. I liked it, which just proves my point about scrolling beat-em-ups on the C64.

Not the knife guys from the end of Renegade I hope. the whip girls on the other hand...

I love the Speccy but i thought that game was so poor. One of the last Speccy games i brought before moving over to the Amiga. Saved up that money, so excited as the arcade machine was brilliant but it was dire. Felt very let down !

Double Dragon on the GB Mono i thought was very good, bit easy, can still hear the theme tune now to that game.

On the Speccy Renegade was the best beat em up game but Double Dragon on MAME etc is brilliant and one of the first great fighting games i got into

They appear, but not with any weapons.

Running DD on Mame is so well emulated it even includes the slowdown when 4 or more enemies are on screen. Its worse with 2 player.

I had both versions & I played the one on the right A LOT!!! Amstrad DD2 was pretty impressive as well. Definately the best of the 8 bit versions.

Double Dragon on the Neo Geo AES isn't that bad...
(The Neo version is a one-on-one fighter, with no side-scrolling).

I first played it on the Master System, which has been such an enjoyable version. The two player mode was brilliant especially when I was playing with my brothers. Awesome.

The arcade version of DD is fantastic ! Wasn't too keen on DD2 though, found it really hard and the controls were slightly different.

I thought that out of all the home computer conversions that the Speccy version of DD was the best, although many here think otherwise.

Okay it's not the best to look at, and the multiload was a pain in the arse but it played well.

Loved Double Dragon back in the day, was one of the first 2 player beat em ups i really played. Speccy version sadly sucked, remember saving up for that game, really 'wanted' it to be good but in the end i couldnt be blind to the fact it was very poor !

I actually played the Gameboy Mono version tons, thought it was excellent on that and still play that a lot.

Cant stand the Neo Geo version, nothing like all the other true versions and is one of the usual 'yawn' beat em ups on the Neo Geo which is a shame

Double dragon on the Master system for me, many a good time playing with my mates on that version.

Enjoyed renegade on the spectrum.
