For those of you who haven't played this fiend of game, Double Dragon, you clearly haven't lived. I spent many hours after school (from Monday till Friday), hammering away at the buttons. The celebrations that were had when I managed to finish this game back in the day I can barely describe, but lets just I was king of the cafe that week. Little did I know that they had Double Dragon II in store for me?
So a quick look at the characters you'll be up against.

So a quick look at the characters you'll be up against. A fearsome lot, but Bruce Lee never said it would be easy. Abobo - he's a big fellow, rippling muscles but easy enough to beat. Willy Mackey is not exactly what you'd call a martial
arts expert; he prefers the Tommy machine gun to the karate chop. Williams likes to use the baseball bat, and he'd throw a knife in your back if you weren't looking there's also loads of ninjas and warriors knocking about who will jump at you from all side.
If you're having problems with any of these bad guys, suggest using the elbow move. This always worked on the arcade and although it has transferred I think it's lost a bit of speed. Still you can usually get a couple of people down with the elbow and that saves a fair amount of time. I’m a big fan of the baseball bat as well. There is a certain pleasure to swinging that bat and watching them bad guys fly.
Anyway, I’ve forgot to mention that the whole aim is to rescue this chick at the end. I’ve never been one for all the story lines that go along with this game. Just get in there, knock the crap out of them and get to the end as fast as you can.
One other word of warning, don't bother picking up knives or using the flying kick, it's just not worth it. Enjoy fellow gamers!
