There are also few tracks from the original Double Dragon game. After a single-mode game the player will have to confront a double of him to finish the game, otherwise he will encounter his twin brother, controlled by the second player.ĭouble Dragon II: The Revenge was also the name of the original soundtrack released in Japan in 1990. He has to be defeated for the players to get through the next level.

There were four levels in the first game and there are still four in the second one: a heliport, a lumber storehouse, a wheat field and the new hideout of the final boss. The weapons were also modified and, for example, the steel bats and dynamite sticks were replaced by shovels and grenades. Most of the enemies in the first game returned in the second one too, but were given makeovers and few new moves they could use. Several moves were introduced in this game, such as a Hurricane Kick, which was a powerful attack. Pressing the attack button of the player’s current direction will employ a standard series of punches, while pressing the button in the opposite direction will perform a back kick. Now there are two directional-based attack buttons, left and right, instead of the original punch and kick buttons. The arcade version brings an improved control system compared to the first game. The player can control one of the same twin brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee, but their task is different. The arcade version of the game begins with Marian, the women from the original Double Dragon, being killed by the leader of the Black Warriors. Other versions were released in the following years for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Game Boy Advance and PC. There were big differences between the two games. The game was released for the first time in 1988 as a coin-operated arcade game, but appeared later on Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Double Dragon II: The Revenge is a sequel to the original Double Dragon game released in 1987 and is a side scrolling beat ‘em up game produced and published by the same company, Technos.
