Double Dragon

The very talented group, Arcadia Systems, Inc. developed a Action game in 1988 and interestingly called it Double Dragon. The game is so engaging that you will feel that “time flies”.

Double Dragon description

Another diamond classic arcade genre – game released on almost all existing game platforms your (and not only) time.

The action takes place in new York city of the near future. Fellow Chinese Billy and Jimmy Lee, who owns the secrets of the ancient martial art Sou-Setsu-Ken, lead a small martial arts school and somehow make ends meet. But one is not the most beautiful day of the bandits of the group "Black warriors", which chairs a Willy, kidnapped Marian, Billy's girlfriend, and demand that the brothers had revealed to them the secrets of their fighting style in exchange for her life. Naturally, the brothers refuse and decide to save a girlfriend on their own.

To describe the gameplay in detail makes no sense – why? Everything should be clear about it: side view, we manage one of the characters (and you can play together) and consistently clean the screens-levels from all sorts of enemies, collecting bonuses along the way and weapons. The hero can jump and climb ladders. Of course, not to mention exceptional even for this genre, the variety of available techniques for hands and feet, as well as the more than impressive set of tools of destruction: here almost every was found in the way the subject (though a baseball bat, even a fruit basket, anything) can be turned into weapons.

Schedule for years the yield is very good, although somewhat weaker than on other platforms. Verdict – a classic that does not require any estimation, neither in the description: it should be obvious.

Now, play Double Dragon online for free on your browser and make your boring weekend fun and full of entertainment.
