A technically acceptable port of the beat-'em-up classic, but the lack of simultaneous co-op is a real blow and the gameplay has dated considerably. For nostalgics mainly.

Collector interest

The official North American edition of Double Dragon on the Master System, the founding beat'em up where Billy and Jimmy Lee clean up the streets with their fists, under Technos license. Its desirability rests on the historical stature of the license, a genre pioneer, and an 8-bit conversion that keeps the arcade's cooperative spirit. Collectors seek this title for its beat'em up classic pedigree and its place in the console's library.
