Item Description

Double Dragon was always meant to be played with two people. Billy and Jimmy Lee fighting side by side, trading elbows with the Black Warriors gang to rescue Marian, is the whole point of Technos' arcade original, and it is exactly what the Master System version keeps. Sega's 1988 port lets two players brawl through the story together, something the better-known NES version left out, and that alone is why so many fans count it as the 8-bit home version to own.

The structure follows the arcade closely. The brothers fight their way from the city streets toward the gang's hideout, picking up baseball bats, whips, knives and anything else an enemy drops, and turning them right back on the people who brought them. The hulking Abobo is waiting to throw his weight around, and the brutally effective back elbow is still here, ready to clear space when the gang closes in. Clearing a crowd with a friend, then squabbling over who gets the dropped weapon, is pure late-1980s arcade energy.

Double Dragon helped set the template for the side-scrolling beat 'em up. The walk-right, fight-everything structure, the improvised weapons and the two-player teamwork all became the foundation for the genre's later hits, Sega's own Streets of Rage on the Genesis among them. Playing this port is a direct line back to where that started.

It has its quirks, including some sprite flicker when the screen fills up, but the heart of the game is intact. If your memories of Double Dragon involve a friend on the second controller, this is the 8-bit version that matches them.
