Item Description

Billy and Jimmy Lee had already cleaned up their own streets twice, so the third Double Dragon sends them looking for trouble on a much bigger map. A fortune teller named Hiruko puts the brothers on the trail of three Rosetta Stones scattered around the world, and the hunt runs from an American city through China, Japan and Italy before ending deep inside Cleopatra's tomb in Egypt. Every stop has its own breed of enemy, from shinobi in Japan to archers in an Italian coliseum, and the final stretch trades street thugs for the supernatural.

The arcade original was the first Double Dragon that Technōs handed to an outside studio, and it rebuilt the fighting from the ground up. The Lees can run now, throw a running head-butt or drop a jumping knee, and the two-player team moves are the highlight: stand back to back for a joint hurricane kick, or launch off your partner for a triangle jump kick. The infamous item shop is here too. In arcades it asked for real quarters to buy energy, faster attacks, new tricks and weapons like nunchaku and a sword; on the Genesis you spend coins earned in play instead, turning one of the most controversial ideas of the coin-op era into a simple question of what to buy and when.

UK studio Software Creations handled this conversion, keeping the full move set and smoothing out the arcade's choppy character movement, and it is often called the strongest of the home versions. It is still a tough, quirky brawler with an unmistakable early-'90s Saturday-morning style, and that is a big part of its charm.

Played with a friend on the couch, it is a fascinating detour in the Double Dragon story, published under Acclaim's Flying Edge label: the globe-trotting, mummy-fighting, shop-browsing chapter that took the Lee brothers furthest from home.
