hansolo77 Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 You voted, here it is! June 2016's GOTM is.... DOUBLE DRAGON! Double Dragon (ダブルドラゴン Daburu Doragon?)[4] is a 1987 beat 'em up video game developed by Technōs Japan and distributed in North America and Europe by Taito. The game is a spiritual and technological successor to Technos' earlier beat 'em up, Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun (released outside Japan by Taito as Renegade), but introduced several additions such as two-player cooperative gameplay and the ability to arm oneself with an enemy's weapon after disarming them. Double Dragon is considered to be one of the first successful examples of the genre, resulting in the creation of two arcade sequels and several spinoffs, as well as inspiring other companies in creating their own beat 'em ups. Originally an arcade game, home versions were released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Master System, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Atari ST, Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Game Boy, Genesis/Mega Drive and Atari Lynx, among other platforms during the series's height of popularity. A remake titled Double Dragon Advance was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. The NES version was re-released for the Wii's Virtual Console in North America on April 28, 2008 at a cost of 500 Wii Points.[5] Nintendo also released the Game Boy version on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in 2011. -Quote from Wikipedia. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 You can really tell this is the "first" beat-em up. The controls are slow and sluggish, and the fairness of the enemies is uneven. I'm constantly getting knocked down and put in a spot I can't break out of when they have weapons. Still, I managed to get to the 3rd stage easy enough before completely dying. I think I prefer some newer old-school beat-em ups though. I'll have to go back and play some of the remakes/clones on other consoles to see if the issues I have still exist there.

millerbrad Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Seems like I remember getting pretty far by spamming jump-kicks in the old NES version (I think there were a lot more fighting moves available in that version, too). The arcade was always a quarter-eater. Your score will be tough for me to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Yeah, I used to play Double Dragon/BattleToads on the NES and Sega Genesis. Totally different game from what I remember. It's all good fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExedExes Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Last month was fun but there was no way I could touch that score. Now, THIS game..... I was able to play a lot of free arcade games when I was much younger because we had a local indoor center in town that was open at night to the younger folk and it had all sorts of activities to do like pool, basketball, air hockey, etc. and they had an arcade with a ton of classic games, this was one of them! I got good, and I got good real fast. But I'd always use continues to get to the end. On a credit, I managed to get to mission 4 and then get messed up by the traps there early on, even though the enemies really don't give me any issues. I will say this -- don't scroll the screen too quick so you only have to deal with one enemy at a time, and do NOT fall into a pit on your last life or you will be unable to enter a name so I had to play this again to get the screenshot and I did just a little bit better.

hansolo77 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Wow so if you die from an environment it glitches? That sucks! Thanks for the tip! Updated OP, DB, RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolo77 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Lol, whats up with that red D? Also, you're using the wrong ROM set. It's DDragon, not DDragonU... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDog Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 What do you mean about the 'D'. That's what it looked like on the screen. Honest. Hey, maybe it was one of those glitches... I generally think of a rom being one zip file, so when you say 'set' I thought that meant any of them. I just chose the first USA version. No problem, I can try again. Maybe this time I can get past those traps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDog Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 OK, Round 2. Fight!!! Oh no, more glitches!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 HAHA!! Thanks for being such a good sport! The only reason I was being picky was because we've had some issues in the past where our rules were somewhat ignored and when we let it slide it started "unfair advantage" controversies. I know we're just a small little group here with nothing really at risk or anything to gain. But still, fairs fair.

RedDog Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Here is another. I did encounter the glitch this time where I fell off a ledge on my final death and did not get to register my initials...so it's up to you if you want to take it. I will try again anyway. 79,870 I got past the block traps this time AND THEN died. Now thats progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtkiii Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Last time I played this I thought it would get insanely laggy but I'll give it try some time this month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 I only felt like it was laggy because of how much faster the animation and controls seem to be on newer titles of the same genre. It might be ok for most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDog Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Finally got past the traps and beat the game...but did not have the option to enter initials. Pretty good run. 101,020 points 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerbrad Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Finally took some time to pull myself away from Overwatch and get on the board. BAM - 45,540 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Really? There's no way to save your initials if you beat the game? That just seems wrong. I mean, if somebody beats the game, you'd WANT to have your initials on there for people to be jealous of. Oh well. It's cool by me because I trust you. You other screenshots look the same (with the window banner, etc). You know you can hit F12 and do an ingame screenshot right? It saves it in the MAME screenshots folder under a separate folder of the romname. Updated OP, DB, RSS (this was meant to be posted for RedDog.. I guess I forgot to hit [Submit Reply] !!!) @millerbrad Glad you got on board! I don't own a Next Gen console, so I'm not interested in Overwatch. TBH, I've only seen 1 commercial about it, and it's a pre-rendered animation so I don't even know what the game is about. But I've got your score added to the board now!

RedDog Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 @hansolo77 Yeah, I don't know, right!?!?!? It's the first time I beat the game. I took a snapshot of me and the little lady for posterity and a few moments later I realize I wasn't able to enter my initals. What a crock!!! Save the girl and get no credit...

hansolo77 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Quick update. I'm extending the competition an extra few days due to the American holiday weekend. My work schedule is kinda keeping me from updating everything. I'll try to get it done this Sunday (my next day off). So take this time and submit a score if you can!
