    Amazing! I sunk way too many hours into the 3rd game which was considered the hardest. I found the first game actually the hardest due to the aptly named "r leap" you upgrade into.

    Edit just realized this is arcade. I played the nes versions. "New" games for me to enjoy!

      i really hated the final boss in part 3. Honestly it took so many kicks to kill of those mummies.

    I remeber how it allows you to continue by letting you put in another 20c. Hrs of fun…

        In the mid 80s it was 20c a credit… then 40c or $1 for 3 credits… then 60c or $1 for 2 credits… then $1 a credit… then we were also seeing $2 a credit by the late 90s/early 2000s

        And videogames was what taught me that house prices would grow astronomically and you had to plan ahead. Who said I wasn't learning anything when at the arcades!

    Elbow elbow elbow…

      Elbow was too op in the first game and it was nerfed in the second.

      I was able to complete the game without continues because of abusing the elbow attack, not so in the second.

      But I have to agree this was god tier of beat em up back then. Great music, the panties when marian gets kidnapped, co op and mr t.

        You're only a true fan when you punch out Sheila, get the whip and finish the game with that.

        Back in the day of DD2 the arcade machine had a design flaw, if you could hit the coin return slot hard enough, you get free credits. Or jam a bent piece of whipper snipper wire in it…

        • serpserpserp on 09/10/2025 - 11:46

          It isn't a flaw. You were just trashing the machine and it worked out in your favour.

          who remembers drilling a hole through a 20c coin and using a fishing wire to load up on the credits….something kids these days will never experience or even contextualise

        • CH on 14/10/2025 - 12:32

          Yeah we used the modified piezo electric BBQ lighter or hot water pilot starter to get sooo many free credits, would never have finished Shinobi without it

    These games are difficult enough with proper controls.
    Good luck everyone!

        Regardless of whether they're supporting gamepad, the majority would be giving this a go without one.

              @Feelsbad: Epic games is PC?

              Edit: oh wait, I assumed when Epic was in the title they meant PC & Android. I completely understand what you are saying if mobile only.

  • blurn on 09/10/2025 - 09:50

    When will epic store for iOS be released here? I’ve gotten a few games but no way to play them

      They said it will be coming but no ETA: https://x.com/EpicNewsroom/status/1955159081259258112

      Maybe Apple trying to delay the process of allowing them into the App Store as long as possible.

    • ItsMeAgro on 16/10/2025 - 10:06

      I can't even find it on the Google Play store at the moment, are they having a court fight with Google again?

    Best memories seeing and playing DD at the arcade in the late 80's, especially 2 player the P1 red and P2 blue characters was really something special. Then the sheer disappointment of buying DD on the Atari 2600.

    • traversal on 09/10/2025 - 11:13

      haha, so true. Man that 2600 version was terrible. I reckon the elbow move was rendered with two adjacent pixels - hi-res baby.

        You should have seen the PC version. I was expecting arcade quality and I did not get that

          I had a CGA 286 one of my relatives gave me and somehow it could run a version of double dragon, I played the shit out of it.

            @Donmega123: I had a CGA XT PC and I played it too, a lot, it was so terrible and had a bug in it where late in the game it would crash which drove me wild

        The Atari 2600 version was brutally difficult, took me a long time to finish that game as a kid.

    Weirdly enough i prefer the nes version of Double Dragon II to the arcade version.

    • ItsMeAgro on 16/10/2025 - 10:17

      This is not weird, it was a totally different game with better gameplay (and music).

    I still remember playing the original Double Dragon on the arcade machine. My parents used to own a convenience store and the game machine company paid a commission to put an arcade machine out in front of the store. Used to come over after school for some old-fashioned beat-ups.

    • Agret on 11/10/2025 - 16:17

      As owners of the store were you given the operator key for the machine so you could play for free?

      • Mugsy on 12/10/2025 - 07:04

        If it was like my aunt's arrangement at her snack bar, no.

        The machine owners would come once a week or fortnight to collect the coins.

        Of course, once they forgot to lock the Golden Axe machine… that was a great week!

      Epic store can suck all it likes, as long as it gives me great free games I can stomach clicking "play" for a second.

    What, no 2P?? This was the best part of the game back in the day.

  • Gorodemon on 09/10/2025 - 22:47

    Back in the days, I was able to finish Double Dragon 2 game a few times with just one coin, on 1 player. Everyone in the arcade was so impressed.

    I remember you get 2 or 3 life bars plus bonus 1 life bar in the game. Spent the majority of my life in the last stage because there are so many things that will kill you in one-shot. The wall blocks, the demon statues with spears and laser eyes, the swordsmen, etc. I needed at least two life bars to defeat the Doppelganger shadow because it's so OP.

    Ah, the good old days.

  • Mugsy on 10/10/2025 - 07:31

    Bro and i sank so many hours in DD on the SMS back in the day.

  • sam buster on 10/10/2025 - 23:35

    Had this on the original MegaDrive. Thanks.

    • Mugsy on 14/10/2025 - 14:20

      We got the Mega Drive quite late in its life (1995 or 96) so Streets of Rage and Golden Axe were the beat em ups of choice for us then (with a helping of Spider-man and Punisher beat em ups here and there).

      But prior to the Mega Drive, we were still gaming on the Master System and Double Dragon is the beat em up king there.

      The port of Mortal Kombat was also not bad for an 8bit console. Still, we were glad to have moved on to the Mega Drive for MK2 and MK3.

      • sam buster on 15/10/2025 - 09:45

        Ahh the memories!
        Streets of Rage was far superior to any of Double Dragon games on the Mega Drive. That might even have been what I was thinking of when I saw this post.

        • Mugsy on 15/10/2025 - 11:00

          Yeah, my bro and I had the 6-in-1 cartrdige that was bundled with the Mega Drive 2. SoR and Golden Axe were both on there and was the staple for our beat em up gaming. I'd have liked to have Streets of Rage 2 in my collection but the game was never discounted (the cheapest copy I could find was $50 second hand and mum didn't want to buy second hand).

          Ironically, mum was happy to spend $100 on MK3 so my bro and I wouldn't keep pumping coins into the arcade version… of course Midway was ready and released UMK3.

          Our best investment for our Mega Drive was the Battlestation 2 arcade controller. Bought this on clearance from Toyworld before we even got our Mega Drive… it was funny playing MK1 on the Master System… a serviceable by janky port of the game… but using an arcade quality controller - lol

          We eventually made better use of the Battlestation 2 by grabbing $10 platinum copies of Street Fighter 2 Special Champion Edition and MK2. I think Wonderboy 4 (the arcade run and gun version) was the only other game we bought for our Mega Drive. We use to rent games from Blockbuster for everything else.

          This reminds me, I still haven't hacked my Mega Drive mini to include my old game library.

          • sam buster on 16/10/2025 - 08:31

            @Mugsy: Last time I went 'home' (a couple of years ago) I got my Mega Drive down from my parents' attic to show my kids old skool gaming - and also to relive the joys myself XD. I hooked it up to a CRT telly but sadly none of my controllers seemed to be working properly.
            I also discovered my Playstation 1, but I couldn't get that to work at all - the CD drive lid wouldn't open and close properly so the games wouldn't load.
            Took me ages to figure out how to connect the aerial and RGB cables.

              @sam buster: My brother still has our old Mega Drive. Not sure if anything still works. He also has a dreamcast (second hand). We've always been fairly Sega centric (the Mega Drive collection on PS3 was one of my must have purchases and I have the Mega Drive collection on Steam too).

              That's a shame about your old Mega Drive controllers and the Playstation's lid not opening. That's the problem with having electronics in storage for too long… things do degrade over time.

              I haven't come across anyone with a CRT in a long time… my old 68cm CRT got binned before 2010 when I switched to my old Sony LCD 40" (which died about a year ago). And I got rid of my old 21" CRT monitor in 2010 with the two 22" LCDs I am currently still using.

        • Rhompa on 16/10/2025 - 07:08

    Anyone here repping Double Dragon 2 on NES. Those big (profanity) you had to hoof kick out of the helicopter and then that level with all the gears. Truly they don't really make em like they used to. (Fight n Rage, Streets of Rage 4 exceptions)

    • ItsMeAgro on 16/10/2025 - 10:20

      Yeah Double Dragon 2 for the NES (which only bore a passing resemblance to the arcade version) was peak.
