The battle raged through four stages, covering a street scene, a factory, a jungle-like setting and the Shadow Warriors’ creepy castle, where a still-armed Willy awaited. The occasional oil drum, packing crate or barrel could also be tossed as a weapon.Īt the helm of these Double Dragons, you dished out gangland justice with a joystick and three simple buttons-jump, punch, kick. Often the gangsters carried weapons-knives, bats, dynamite and more-and once they were defeated, Hammer and Spike could take these armaments as their own. Facing our heroes were thugs like Lopar, Linda and everyone’s favorite, the big-headed bald guy named Abobo. The entire game was one fight after another, as Hammer and Spike took the bad guys out with punches, kicks and special moves like jump kicks, head butts and the always-popular elbow smash. Willy had plenty of minions standing between him and the twins, and the baddies weren’t afraid to risk life and limb for the cause. Twins Hammer and Spike (later known as Billy and Jimmy Lee) arrived on the scene just as the villains made away with the girl, forcing them to hit the streets for a rescue. In the animated intro, an inner-city babe named Marian was kidnapped by a street gang known as the Shadow Warriors, led by the machine-gun-toting Willy.
Double Dragon almost single-handedly (or double-fistedly) popularized the side-scrolling fighting game, paving the way for every Final Fight and Bad Dudes that followed.
In 1987, two martial artist brothers took their crusade for justice to the streets, and the video game world would never be the same.
