A playthrough of Acclaim's 1990 NES game, Double Dragon II: The Revenge.
Played through on the Shadow Master difficulty level.
Even though Double Dragon II on the NES was developed by Technos Japan, just like its arcade counterpart, it's an entirely different game. The mechanics are all pretty similar, but this one has an extremely frustrating couple of platforming sections that require near-perfect timing, and the moves can be difficult to pull off at times. Even still, I have some good memories of playing this one with my buddies around the old wood-cabinet console TV using those ridiculous infrared wireless controllers. Really, those things felt like you were holding a copy of Moby Dick they were so thick.

Same here. It was about the time that this game came out that I began to take an interest in post-apocalypse movies and themes. I would have preferred a post-apocalyptic wasteland over the boring small town I was in. I've become especially interested today, since that's where we seem to be heading.

When the sequel first came out, I haven't played it until about 5 or 6 years later, when my mom and dad took me to Title Wave, which is no longer open, and I rented it and played it, just before I outgrew playing the NES. Nowadays, Arc System Works (the same ones responsible for Guilty Gear) owns most of the Technos library.

Honestly, this is a really nice and fun game... until you get to the iconic perfect-frame-jump-mansion. Thankfully, the game then redeems itself with the beautiful shining palace, the battle with the ninjas and shadows, the final boss and its music. Good stuff. Also, Marian got some NICE tig ol bitties!!! 10/10 game

Both Double Dragon and TMNT Arcade were never meant to be put on 8-bit consoles, only 16-bit or more like the SNES! Also, Marian on that shot got so jump-scared that she nearly spilled out of her torn-top. She is better known for being a PAWG though.

This the second Double Dragon game for the NES and was published in North America by Acclaim Entertainment, who took over publishing duties from Tradewest. The game shares its title with the 1988 arcade sequel to the original Double Dragon, using the same promotional artwork for its packaging and having a similar plot, but the content of the two games are otherwise drastically different. It's a good game, but also had the best cover art. I played this game with either the NES controller or the NES Advantage. So many memories. I own this cartridge.

Hmm. I wonder if there's any difference in difficulty between the US and Japanese versions of Double Dragon II. I played the Japanese version, and on the highest difficulty setting the enemies seem a lot tougher than what's shown in this video. For instance, they're much more resistant to grappling (they'll wriggle out of your grasp unless they're already at

It made a lot more sense back then for games, electronic devices and computers to be expensive though rather than the absolutely ridiculous stuff that costs huge amounts of money today. They actually needed to charge those prices to make a profit back then or they would go out of business. Now everything is just a complete scam.
