Double Dragon is a faithful port of the arcade classic that features slightly less lag than the original. Its classic two-player gameplay focuses on fighting small groups of enemies with a large moveset.
This is the most arcade-faithful port of Double Dragon. The NES version adds RPG Elements and has different stage layouts than the original, and the other versions are too limited by hardware to be authentic. This was neither developed nor published by Technos.
I actually like this version better than the original. It's a really faithful port, except it has slightly less lag overall which lets the satisfying combat shine. The musical compositions are as iconic as ever although the renditions aren't the best in the world. The combat is still broken, though. Just use back elbow.
