"A simple side-scrolling fighter where players simply punched, kicked and jumped in their quest to save a kidnapped girl, Double Dragon also became a fan favourite thanks to the ability to snatch up weapons dropped by enemies and turn them against their owners. The result was a crude, merciless beat 'em up whose cartoonish visuals belied its dark heart." - Empire
