410.0. "DOUBLE DRAGON II (Has Arrived)" by RVAX::BELLIVEAU () Tue Jan 23 1990 12:36

     
    
      Double Dragon II. It has finally arrived. The thrill and action
    of the arcade version in your own home. It has a new twist and very
    good graphics along with a sound of realism. I actually feel sorry
    about the guys and gals I hit and kick. (not really)
    
    Yes you can go through the "TEN" Missions with 2 Players. There
    was a good handful of these games left at Child World in Nashua
    last night. You best get them quick I am sure they will go like
    hot cakes. I purchased it for 49.99. After a couple of tries at
    it I think this will be well worth the 49.99.
                                                 
    Well on with the Mission....

410.1	Will my kids enjoy it??	ANDOVR::LEONARD		`Tue Jan 23 1990 21:25`	1
	Mike, how does it compare with Double Dragon I?????
410.2	Simultaneous play with DD II	BRAT::SMITH	Never say never, I always say.	`Wed Jan 24 1990 07:37`	9
	re: .1 I'm not who you asked, but I know that one of the significant differences is that two players can play simultaneously! Each player controls one of the Lee Brothers and you both fight your way through the game together. Mike
410.3	The Return of the Dragons	RVAX::BELLIVEAU		`Wed Jan 24 1990 12:25`	15
	-_\ Yes Its Back on Track /_- Yes I must admit when Nintendo came out with Double Dragon I I was so excited and couldn't wait to get it until I heard of the single player setup. This turned me off. But now that the Simultaneous Action is in I just had to get it. re: .1 If your kids liked Double Dragon I of Nintendo or the Arcade Version they should love this one. It seems that the Double Dragons have had some extensive training since Double Dragon I. They know some new moves that help you get through the Missions.
410.4	Tell me more about DD II	GIAMEM::ELSBREE		`Sun Jan 28 1990 12:12`	23
	How closely does this game follow the original arcade version? More specifically: Do you get pound on one guy for a while, or is it just one punch and their dead? I always liked slamming their faces against my knee, and then flipping them over my head. Is movement restricted to just moving to the left and right of the screen, or can you move to the character's left and right as well? In other words can you move in four different directions on the ground level, allowing you to walk around the enemies? Is there any sort of a continue feature? When two people are playing, if one is killed, can they rejoin the game? I know that Ninja Gaiden, in the arcade, was similar to Double Dragon, but the Nintendo version of NG is completely different from the arcade version. I'm hoping that Double Dragon II will be more like the arcade version. CE
410.5	spoiler/trick ?	WILKIE::COFFIN		`Sat Mar 03 1990 12:34`	32
	spoiler/trick My son discovered how to get extra men if you want to play single player. You start off on level 2b with 2 guys and keep killing off the second player with the first and as you beat him you will get the extra lives. Barry
410.6	Continue?	GIAMEM::ELSBREE		`Sat Mar 03 1990 16:10`	6
	On the tip sheet (note 407) it says you can continue using: U,R,D,L,A,B Unfortunately, I can't get this to work. Any ideas? CE
410.7	Spoiler	HPSTEK::DOUCETTE		`Sun Mar 04 1990 10:19`	4
	Spoiler... it only works in mission 2 or 3.
