      He was huuuuuuge 😂 it's much better than the first one, but I suppose if I'm going to sink time into a beat em up I'd probably play on the mega drive or SNES - the 64 isn't too great at them.

    Looks a great version mate I used to have the mega drive version years ago and this one holds up well against it. That boss looked savage at the end 🤣👍

    The classic double dragon 2 the revenge, was cool to see it on the c64 since I have never seen it on this port. Looks pretty decent mate

    I have played DOUBLE DRAGON I-III
    on my Amiga 500.
    The first game was cool.
    The second is THE BEST 😺👍🕹️🕹️!!
    And the third is OK.
    I even bought DDII for my Commodore 64 in a compilation called FISTS OF FURY (CiB, tape) in 2023 😺👍🕹️.
    Sadly, i haven't tested it yet 😹.
    I better give a try as soon as possible 😹👍🕹️.

    Always had a soft spot for double dragon and it's sequel.
    Not a patch on renegade but a fun game nevertheless.

      The original is an arcade classic but not very good on the 64. Renegade gets a lot of love I've noticed - I'll give it a play soon.

      @marcgoesblindgaming2076 there's quite a few multi platform gadgets about mate, but for those systems a Raspberry Pi and Emulation Station would work a treat - check out RetroPi if you are interested. There's a new spectrum machine coming out soon with 48 games and ability to load more off usb 👍

      @@retrotap Yeah stew from generation pixel Has ordered that new speccy With 48 games, I don't know why I said I haven't played 42 decades I actually already have A Spectrum Vega, Preloaded with a 1000 games, Unfortunately half of our text games And most the others are random rubbish, Does have jetpack though And I managed to figure out how to Put Joe blade, Great escape, Bubble bubble and chase hq onto it, I'm not very technical so find it A little tricky to set up emulators But most of all because I know it will be time consuming to find all the wrongs I want, I think I may just do the easy thing and pick up The V-2 elite emulation console As I know quite a few people now who have it And they can't stop singing its praises, It's easy plug and play, 70 systems and over 20000 games, Should keep me busy ha ha, Plus Most of the games run perfectly and have been upscaled Plaster controls have all been set up to work with a PS4 controller Which is my favourite so That's the most likely direction I'm going in

    Call me crazy but I have never been keen on Double Dragon and never saw what the fuss was about, compared to Renegade it seemed rubbish to me at the time. This does look decent but I've never played 2 on anything 👍

    Is the ‘revenge’ against each other? Considering how you beat the original if you play two player 😂
