Knight Plug Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Was Streets of Rage just copying this? The punks and whip wielding ladies are the same. Aniekwe and kingpotato 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpotato Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Well isnt every 2d beat em ups game that came after Double dragon during that time a copy of Double dragon? xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Plug Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 More or less. You cannot 'trademark' a punk with ginger hair. It's a standard baddie. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good one, I can't forget about how this game impacted on gamers back then. Nintendo have been great for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I played Double Dragon II with a friend over netplay the other day, and the sprite flicker was pretty bad. I can now see why they made the first game one player becasue there's next to no flicker here. I mean, I would have preferred a 2 player mode, but I''m just saying that I can see their reasoning now. It's still a great game either way. Knight Plug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 It's been years since I've played this game - it was actually a decent fighter back in the day. Too bad the series never gained traction like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight Plug Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 I used to keep missing the cave in the forest, that is on the side of the cliff. It is easy to miss it. Then the level would start to loop. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) I have the whole Double Dragon trilogy on NES. They still hold up today and are as fun as ever. I feel like they were a precursor to fighting games today. Hell they may have even been the inspiration for the style play of the TMNT games (TMNT2: The Arcade Game, TMNT3: The Manhattan Project, etc.) which offered a 2 player mode. But as a series, the Double Dragon games are always good for a play. Something I did always wonder as a kid was why the hell were they wearing boxing gloves. Ah, 1988 graphics. Clearer and more crisp than movies today could ever hope for. Edited June 1, 2022 by The Blackangel killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly what you saw in it. They had it all copied. It has been a pattern for all 2D beat em ups games during the time of Double Dragon.

That's true, I wouldn't call it copying though because that was a norm for all beat em up games of that time, just like how open world games have same features which included vegetations , buildings and the graphical texture of most open world video games are the same.
