Developed by Virgin Games, this handheld edition for the Sega Game Gear has a much different story that sees Billy Lee avenging the murder of his brother, Jimmy. This one shouldn’t be played, or exist, as it shares almost nothing with the rest of the titles in the series, other than a name. This one shouldn’t even be considered part of the series, so just skip it. The motions aren’t smooth and fights have such a rough flow that the game loses any appeal it might have quickly. If they wanted to copy Street Fighter, they should have gone all out with that on the mechanics, as the word clunky doesn’t even begin to describe trying to execute special moves. The graphics and stages are mostly forgettable and combat is extremely lackluster. There are twelve playable characters, all taken from the mostly enjoyable Double Dragon cartoon, an awkward mechanic for altering stats, and somewhat serviceable music. It is a one-on-one fighting game that stole all of its inspiration from Street Fighter II, attempting to capitalize on the success of the budding genre that games like it and Mortal Kombat that had inspired massive consumer demand. This game was not made by Technos and doesn’t play like the popular entries in the franchise, or even play ‘well’ for that matter. Most of these are ports from the original arcade games, which can be found on Steam as a collection.ġ0. So here is a fun list of most of the console and handheld system games and where I think they rank for the player who wants to experience the series before a new installment arrives. Now, since the new release has a few people talking, I want to see if I can encourage some new players to try their hand at being the heroes. Certain installments can be a bit frustrating, but I always find myself coming back and trying again, pushing forward to save Marian and bring some justice where I can. In this post-apocalyptic world Billy and Jimmy Lee battle against the Black Warrior gang in a series inspired by Mad Max and martial arts films. I’ve also been re-watching some of the cartoon, one of my favorites when I was a kid, and while I could go read the comics that Marvel produced for the franchise again, or (if I really get desperate for more Double Dragon) there is that movie we don’t speak of, but those are all just icing on the cake to the games. Not just because I would get a new beat ‘em up to fight through, but because the news offered me the perfect opportunity to replay all of the games. An early design for the Wookiee mounted trooper had banthas as the mounts, though ultimately katarns were chosen.I know I can’t have been the only one excited recently to see a new retro-styled Double Dragon game coming out, and so soon after its reveal. Behind the scenes ĭragon troopers appeared in the 2001 LucasArts video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds as the mounted trooper unit of the Wookiee civilization. Dragon troopers also fought in the Liberation of Kashyyyk in the Galactic Civil War. One dragon trooper was present on Kashyyyk at the time of the Battle of Kashyyyk, riding past the Jedi Yoda and Quinlan Vos as they discussed the potential death of the Separatist General Grievous and the end of the Clone Wars. Dragon troopers were also present in the attack on a Trade Federation listening array and the Battle for Alaris Prime, which saw the company expelled from Alaris Prime completely. One dragon trooper was present in Chewbacca's camp when it was attacked by a Trade Federation strike force commanded by LUH-989. The dragon and grenade troopers used their weaponry to bring down the light wall surrounding the oupost and the central troop center, while Chewbacca and the bowcaster troopers brought down the B1-Series battle droids guarding the outpost.
A force of twelve Wookiees, including Chewbacca, boarded transport ships and crossed a river to reach the outpost. At one base where the Wookiee leader Chewbacca was preparing troops to attack a Trade Federation outpost, two troop centers were built to train dragon troopers as well as bowcaster troopers and grenade troopers. Dragon troopers were used during the war for the moon Alaris Prime, which was fought between 39 BBY and 36 BBY between the rightful Wookiee colonists and the Trade Federation.
