I was about 10 years old and at the bowling alley for an after school league. I walked into the arcade and there was Double Dragon. You had multiple attacks, two player, and could pick up weapons!! This is one of the first game changers I can remember in the video game industry as a kid. I was just blown away.

I remember playing this in the arcade with my cousins. They got the nes version. We were disappointed that we had to take turns playing due to it being one player. Then one day my dad walked through the door with a Sega Master System. We were playing the games that he bought with it and realized that it had most of the games that we played in the arcade. Outrun, Hang-on, Shinobi and so on. Then we got to this cartridge that said Double Dragon on it. We popped it in and much to our surprise there was a two player co-op mode. Very cool. I still own that Master System to this day with that copy of Double Dragon.

When either of us would buy a game, the other would get the other disk type. If a game had manual or card-based copy protection, we'd go to our friend Jimmy's house and use his dad's xerox machine.

I bought Classic NES mini last year that has slot of classic games programmed in to it because of how small the memory was for the games, I think it’s 8 MB per game.

Saw this game for the first time walking through the bowling alley arcade room at the Showboat Casino & Hotel in Atlantic City (now closed) back in the early 80's. My dad gave me a quarter and i ended up playing this game all day (more like playing and watching other kids play when i ran out of quarters). Refused to leave to the point my parents would just end up gambling and leaving me in the arcade room by myself hours on end (those were much different, safer times back then). When the game finally came out on NES (and i got a copy) it was like a dream come true. Although the level up feature was a real let down. It forced you to punch enemies to gain extra points which was a lot more risky to your health bar.

Another one of those games that you had to be there when it first came out to understand how truly popular it was. There was ALWAYS a line of people waiting to play. I remember arguments happening all the time over if it was fair for someone to put a bunch of credits in as soon as they got on the machine so they could keep continuing when there was a line of people wanting for their turn. Then you’d have guys who would actually reach under you while you were playing and put their money into the machine so they could play next. That started a bunch of fights over people accusing others of stealing their cash. It’s popularity was up their with Street Fighter ,mortal kombat , 4 player TMNT

I even remember that being a trivia question back in the 1980's. I guess they didn't have the story created until they realized the game was so popular it was going to have a sequel? Honestly, video games didn't really have stories back then. Let alone having a sequel. -Just a piece of trivia if anybody wanted a trip down memory lane.

It involved tricking one of gang memebers to hold their own partner and you slashing thier partner until the score reaches a certain number. Then your dead partner would return as a ghost who was not seen by the enemy and could help you win the game. This game was way advanced. Thanks for the video.

I would get to drop a quarter into the machine on occasion as it was posted just inside my local Walmart when I was a kid, until it was replaced by a Street Fighter II machine. I never got anywhere on one quarter, but was thrilled by the action. When my friend got it on the NES, we played for hours and hours, even if the game wasn't exactly the same.

Spent many an allowance on the arcade version of this with my lil bro as a 10 yr old. We bought it for the Master System when it came out and we played it all the time, but were disappointed that the elbow move was basically pointless on the console. In the arcade, it's practically the only move you need to beat the game.

Patman, you should do an arcade review of Crime Fighters (1989). That's an excellent beatemup that never got a home console release.

As hideous as the Spectrum ZX is by today’s standards, the graphics are absolutely iconic. I always loved seeing how weird and different it looked when browsing through computer mags back in the 80s.

Hey @10:53, I cannot understand what the narrator here is saying! Did he say that there is one Easter egg at the first level, before describing the car as the same one from that Roadblaster game? Someone please clarify what this guy said for me. I beg you. Lol
