My brother and I would always be Skate and Max, and we always fought over who would be SKate (no one was ever Blaze), since he was the only black guy.......and we kicked the bejesus out of all the bad guys. ps. my favorite part of Double Dragon was in the Beginning when the Girl was punched in the stomach...sorry for the misogyny pss. Battletoads has never been beaten

Wasn't Double Dragon a River Ransom ripoff?

Great topic!

How about Renegade.

I think that was an incomplete game.

The original Japanese version of RCR was also a spinoff from what would become "Renegade" in the US. Good call, Reaper! My favs are all from Capcom: Alien vs Predator, Final Fight 3, and Captain Commando. I like all of these for different reasons. All three of them have a wide variety of moves you can pull and an interesting selection of characters. Alien vs Predator had four-player support and some of the fastest, most intense action you'll see in a beat-em-up, as well as absolutely beautiful hand-drawn graphics. I don't even want to know how much money I spent dropping quarters into it. Final Fight 3... I'm not sure what to say. It just feels right. The levels stay interesting compared to most other games of the genre and are paced well in their enemy placement. The graphics look great on the SNES and the soundtrack is catchy. The fighting is technical enough that it really has some substance to it, but not enough to be cumbersome. To top it off, Guy gets his fireball move from the Street Fighter Alpha series! To me, this is the game that makes Final Fight better than Streets of Rage. Captain Commando runs on the same engine as the original Final Fight. Compared to a lot of other beat-em-ups it looks very primitive now, but I love it because it's so wacky! It had a four-player version, something that Final Fight never had, and a bizarre selection of characters to play, each with multiple special moves. There aren't a lot of games in this genre I can think of where you can cut enemies in half with a sword, set them on fire or electrocute them without any special items, throw gigantic shuriken, and best of all: robot ride armor! Sadly the robots were cut from the SNES version, along with some of the blood and gore. Runner up: Turtles in Time (arcade version) from Konami. I've also got to love Konami's Uncanny X-Men for making use of a double screen.

Golden Axe is kind of a rip from that, just the gameplay though.

You'll pardon me for not being sure, I hope, but you are joking, right? You do know that Renegade was made before Double Dragon by the same people who made Double Dragon, right? I mean, it was mentioned earlier in the thread, I thought.

However, the Japanese version was developed by Technos, the company that made Double Dragon. They also made River City Ransom and Super Dodgeball, which are part of the same series as Renegade (Nekketsu Kouha: Kunio-kun).
