Someone on KZbin said they met Double Dragon's original creator at a con once and asked why Marian had to die. They answer they were given is that DD2 was not meant to be sequel, but rather a retelling of the story with a darker ending where Marian dies rather than being kidnapped and rescued. Part of the reason for that was to keep players going back to the first game since it has a happier ending.

I once owned the MS DOS version of DD2 so long ago, and I remember all the dreadful noises that it made. It made no sense to hear those noises, whenever you used the shovel, watched the first boss disintegrate, or watched the cutter from the plow in the background strike you or the enemy on the 3rd stage. All those annoying beeps sounded the same. I think even when your character died, it made the same beep. 😋 I remember those Tiger Electronic games. Looking back now, they provided that cheap, oily, liquid crystal display entertainment. 😀 I also owned that Double Dragon part 1 from Tiger Electronics (Only God knows where it is and what had happened to it). Again looking back, if I recall correctly, in that game, only 1 opponent appears for you to fight at a time. You have to kick the opponent quickly, before he depletes your energy, so you can fight the next opponent that appears. The game showed you walking from one opponent to the next, but I think that it didn't show the background moving, so there was not really any scroll effect on the screen. I didn't know they had a DD2 out on Tiger Electronics either, but I also owned one WWF Tiger Electronics game too. I don't know whatever happened to that either, but if I remember that one correctly, you fight as Hulk Hogan. Your opponents appeared one by one, and the tactic to beating the game was to drain your opponents health quickly to 3 bars, and then press both punch and kick buttons simultaneously to perform a throw and K.O the opponent that way quickly. You could never throw the opponent before his health reached 3 energy bars. That much I remembered for certain. I believe for certain that plenty of those Tiger Electronic games are obsolete now, buried very deep in landfills somewhere by this day and age. 😋

Hokuto No Ken (aka Fist of The North Star) provided the majority of inspiration for Double Dragon, not The Warriors. It was a very popular franchise in Japan in that era. The heroes look similar, the premise is similar (post-apocalyptic setting, hero's girlfriend is kidnapped at the start by the main bad guy). The Japanese flyer's artwork also looks similar to Tetsuo Hara's style.

For the longest time it was probably the only game I ever beat and I always felt like I just couldn't beat games until the ps3 era when I beat fallout 3 100% and it gave me confidence in gaming and I went on to beat other games like all of the far cry games (except the first one) and rdr and rdr undead nightmare an call of Juarez bound in blood and after beating all of those in a row I started going back to older games I loved and never got to finish. I finally beat duck tales a few years ago! As much as I love gaming I'm not gonna pretend I'm very good at it but now I'm less likely to just give up and feel like it's impossible.

I had no idea the NEC: PC Engine had Double Dragon II: The Revenge, I remember the Sega Genesis and the MSX. I also didn't know about the Road Warrior influences; Just figured Thunderdome probably had something to do with it because in the time of it most things were. I remember reading about characters all named after The Big Boss, Game Of Death, and Enter the Dragon. The Post Armageddon storyline in Revenge is said to be 100% Homage to Fist Of The North Star.

Originally conceived as an expansion for the original game, Double Dragon II eventually became a full fledged sequel. The controls are a bit wonky but once you get use to them allows for way more moves. Incidentally, I have the Tiger Electronic handhelds for Double Dragon I, II, and even III. Obviously they're not so great visually, but there is decent gameplay there. Better than many of the weaker ports you highlighted.

I had the Tiger version of this game, back in the day. Eight levels of repetitive jumping kicking and ducking to avoid darts sent from nowhere. Second portion of the game had also moving platforms with insta-death if you missed timing, flames raising randomly under your feet (screwing timing for moving platforms), and final levels featured some sort of evil clone obtained using all regular enemies' sprites constantly changing. All in all, it was a chore, but when I was eleven my dedication was absolute, and I managed to beat it a couple of times.

Not too shabby for a Tiger lcd game, I guess. Also, last two levels had those big ominous eyes on the background, just like the arcade counterpart.

In DD2 arcade, when it comes to special moves, the elbow smash in number 2 game was nerfed and wasn't nearly as powerful from the first game. I guess developers for DD2 wanted players to change up their playing habits and use different varieties of moves/special moves rather than spamming one move all the time.

I never played any of the scrolling versions but me and my school friend would play the 1 on 1 version by SNK which was based off of the movie. The game was mad and feature a super saiyan like power up feature that changed your move set. Good memories.

What I remember most about this game was: 1) you couldn’t spam the elbowsmash to plow through 2) there was a boss that looked like Andre the Giant’s fashionable doppelgänger

I just learned after posting this video that the big boss you are referring to was actually the same sprites used for Andre in the WWF superstars game that came out a year later

Sadly the next gen kids of today will never know what a 'home conversion' is. That was part of the allure back in the day. Experiencing the original in the arcade and getting a home version. It didn't matter what the home version was like, all that mattered was that you had your own copy bought and paid for and could play it for free whenever you liked. The original double dragon in the arcade is my favourite game of all time and when it was released by Melbourne House on the C64 I had to have it. It was possibly the worst game I had ever played but it didn't matter, because it was double dragon. I used to stare at the box art for what felt like hours and read the instruction booklet over and over again. In a few years time you won't even be able to buy a hard copy of a game when it all goes digital and those experiences I had as a child will disappear in the memories of all of us that were there.
