Double Dragon is a beat'em up game for Arcade, published by Taito in 1987.
Life in an apocalyptic city after a nuclear war is not easy, and only the strongest survive. This is the case of the twins Billy and Jimmy Lee, better known as the Double Dragon, who with their mastery of martial arts have earned respect in this new world.
For the Black Warriors gang however, they are nothing special. To prove it, they have kidnapped Billy 's girlfriend and taken her to her lair. It is time for these criminals to suffer firsthand the consequences of their terrible actions...
To rescue Marian we will have to overcome, alone or with others, the four levels of the game. We will cross streets, factories, forests and cliffs until we reach the headquarters, where Willy, the head of the clan, awaits us with a machine gun in hand to settle our differences.
We have a wide and varied range of attacks at our disposal, including punches, kicks, elbows and headbutts. Since any help is not enough, we can disarm our enemies and use their weapons to our advantage. Whips, baseball bats and knives will be very useful in our mission, as well as other elements of the scenery such as drums, boxes or rocks.
The Black Warriors gang is made up of several members. From basic fighters like Williams or Roper, to the strong Abobo, passing through martial arts specialists and dangerous girls well versed in the handling of the whip. Finding their weak points is key to obtaining victory in this unequal fight.
If we manage to finish off Willy and his criminal organization, we will have liberated the city, but there will still be one pending issue to resolve: Which of the two brothers is really worthy of Marian's love? Once again, it will be the fists that dictate the sentence.
