Game Boy Double Dragon II. Same takeaways, slightly improved: more moves, more varied levels. But the Game Boy engine stays limited, combat stiff. A real Technos effort on handheld, but well short of River City Ransom or Renegade on NES. Minor in the branch.

A direct extension of the arcade classic on the handheld, it belongs to the Double Dragon trilogy fans seek to gather.
