Double Dragon II: The Revenge

Double Dragon II: The Revenge

The original arcade version of Double Dragon II is essentially an improved version of the first game. The biggest change in the game's controls is that the original's punch and kick buttons have been replaced with two directional attack buttons (Left Attack and Right Attack), similar to Renegade. When you press the attack button in the player's current direction, you perform a series of punches while using the other button to perform a backward kick. There are also a few new moves, including a hurricane kick. As in the original game, the arcade version of Double Dragon II is divided into four missions: a helipad, a lumberyard, a wheat field and the new boss's hideout. Each stage has its own boss character with its own theme. After the player defeats Willy (the final boss from the original game) in the fourth stage, he meets a double of his own character in the final battle. When two players reach the end together, they both have to face their own clone in the final battle.

Story

The arcade version of Double Dragon II: The Revenge begins with Marian, the damsel in distress from the original Double Dragon, being shot by the leader of the Black Warriors. Once again, players take on the roles of brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee, who are now tasked with avenging Marian's death.
