      		 I remember my little brother thinking I was all big and bad because I figured out a secret to that game. Where you stand at the corner of this building holding a barrel. And if you release the barrel just right, it spins straight up and right off the screen. My brother thought that was awesome! I, on the other hand, just kinda stood there every time going, "Hey, what happened to my weapon!?"

        		 I hate the arcade versions of DD. The cpu has ALL the advantages, the biggest one being that they can punch WAY faster than you. The fastest you can punch is whap, whap, whap...then the cpu recovers before the next punch connects and goes whapapapapap. WTF? ANd the usual beat-em-up trick of approaching them from above or below don't work too well in the dd series either, due to the programmers making your collision detection too damn demanding...leading to you getting comboed all over again. The nes versions were MUCH better.

          		 Man, I use to play the arcade version of Double Dragon all day, especially when I went to Chuck E. Cheeses or one of the Castle Parks across the states. I'd spend about $20 in quarters just playing that game and Ghost N' Goblins, Star Wars, Spyhunter and Paperboy with the occasional Toobin' thrown in there. Theres was 2 other games I'd play all day but they were rare, they were Yiar Kung Fu and Legend of Kage.

            		 Double Dragon was awesome in the arcades, it was one of the first great side-scroller beat-em-ups. In fact, it may be the first side-scrolling beat-em-up that let you move in that quasi-3D realm?? It was either this one or Renegade. Once you learned the secret "elbow the guy behind you" move it made the game alot easier to play.

            But Renegade aws the super hard one. Where you'd have like 5 guys attacking you at once...you could use weapons in that game too, as I recall.

            For those of you who care, the upcoming Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks game is a modern 3D beat em up.....very cool, based on the demo on the Xbox demo disc. Kinda like a Final Fight taken to the next level!
