SWEET CHRISTMAS!
Bah, 1 and 2 for the NES are fine.
But 3, holy crap, it wasn't even good WHEN it came out.

If it was crap then, and its crap now, then it seems to have aged fine.But 3, holy crap, it wasn't even good WHEN it came out.

sure have. Double Dragon 1&2 (Arcade and NES), and Super Double Dragon are easily the best beat em ups of all time. they've aged just fine.
i can't wait for Double Dragon Advance. it's been #1 on me most wanted list for GBA for well over a year now.

The only cool thing about Double Dragon is my friends and I made a music video using footage from the game. I don't even remember what song it was, but I think I still have it on an old beta tape someplace.
I always liked Final Fight better anyway.

As people have said, Double Dragon I & II are quite good by the standards of their genre. It's a shame Technos let it go to hell after that, other than the decent SNES game.
I think the first two DD games are much better than Final Fight. It's in large part because the stages seem much more interesting, particularly in DD II; There's a definite and satisfying progression, and some nice jumping bits to negotiate. In comparison, the FF stages only scroll to the right with little in the way of real obstacles, making them tedious as hell.
I think DD has more technique to the fighting, too, particularly with the grab and back-turned moves.
I've been playing the NES DD games quite a bit lately on my Axim, DD2 seems to be the most fun to me, part 1 is good for different reasons, although a tad frustrating since it's a bit harder. Back in the day I enjoyed part 3 once I got over the annoying difficulty (you only have ONE friggin life until later) but I played it some today and it was decent, but I'd rather be playing the other games.
