![]() The cartoon also spawned a fighting game dubiously dubbed Double Dragon V The Shadow Falls and probably also encited the movie, but I am not sure which came out first at this point to be honest. Marian herself was a no-nonsense police woman who would only show up to tell them what the law was supposed to be. not only are martial artists, but also keep a couple of swords which they use to fight against the Shadow Master, a guy with white hair who likes his spandex extra dark and tight. It featured both the Lee brothers and Marian, along with Abobo who lasted a whooping one and a half episodes before he was dispossed of and never heard of again. Thing was, the idea of having them fighting off machine gun people was replaced with another guy wielding a glowing blade who had some sort of speech impediment, but whatever works I guess.ĭouble Dragon stormed the TV screens in '93, spawning over 26 episodes before it was deemed too silly to continue it any further. Of course the best way to interpret this is by making said twin martial artists equip glowing blades and put on some masks in order to fight off silly machine guns. Double Dragon however, was a totally different beast to tangle being that it was the story of twin martial artists pummeling the hell of anyone on their way to rescue a girl kidnapped by a guy with a machine gun. As you may had suspected, it was created in part by DiC entertainment, seemingly wanting to have as much gaming based stuff as it did when it brought the likes of Super Mario Bros. Before that ever was around in theaters however, a cartoon was made which came outta nowhere. Sometime in the 90s Double Dragon suddenly was the talk of the town and greedy entertainment companies thought it could benefit from it by making a horrible movie which had little to do with the source material as with any other videogame movie that came ever. (audibly drinks beer) Fuck.Double Dragon THE CARTOON DOUBLE DRAGON THE CARTOON This man in a business suit who does belly flops? He's completely useless. So it's kinda like finally having another life, except that. So when you die, you can still use this other character. And along the way, you meet other characters that you can play as. The Nerd: So even though you never get another life, the game designers at least had the courtesy to refill your energy after you beat a level. And obviously, this is an old video game flaw, and it's common when there's so much shit on the screen. And all the characters start to blink, making it hard to see what you're doing. There's so many enemies on the screen, and sometimes it just gets ridiculous. The Nerd: Well anyway, using two players is much easier, but it's still a hard game. Let alone a fuckin' Double Dragon game, and it's the first screen. "Bimmy and Jimmy"? How'd they make a mistake like this?! "Bimmy" isn't even a real name! How did this happen?! They didn't even proofread this shitty game before they released it?! "Bimmy and Jimmy"?! I'm sorry, I just can't get over that. But this time, it shows both the Double Dragons, Billy and Jimmy Lee. The Nerd: Now just like the 1-player game, it starts off with the story sequence. And that makes it pointless if you wanna get far. ![]() But whatever you do, don't pick "Game B", because that's where you can hit each other. The Nerd: Your only chance to see beyond the first level is to either be a Double Dragon God, or to use two players. I mean, what the fuckin' shit is that about? Fuck this game. But when I'm desperately tryin' to get my enemies off me, it just doesn't happen. I know how to do the spin kick I can get it to work most any given time. ![]() But sometimes, the fuckin' kick won't work. When they're all over you, it's your only attack worth using. The Nerd: Never, EVER go in between anybody. Like, if in real life, if you went out onto the streets to fight this many people at the same time, you'd get your ass handed to ya. I guess they were tryin' to make this one realistic. And yes, even your energy bar goes down faster than in the previous games. Everybody gangs up on you and they just drain your energy. The Nerd: Now I can get through the first two Double Dragons without dying a single time, until maybe the last levels, but this one, I can't even get through the first level. ![]() If ya die once, you start all over again. I mean why not just shut the fuck up and let me fight? Now the big problem I have with this game, is just that it's too damn hard. The Nerd: First of all, those talking parts really slow the game down. But Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones is just a fuckin' waste. Double Dragon's awesome, and so's Double Dragon II: The Revenge. The Nerd: Oooh, I know what you're thinkin': "How dare you pick on Double Dragon?" But I'm not.
