The Story Behind Double Dragon II - The Revenge
Double Dragon II was re-released in 2013 alongside the other two arcade games in a compilation titled Double Dragon Trilogy produced by DotEmu, which was released on iOS, Android and Steam platforms. Virgin Mastertronic released ports of the arcade version for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, IBM PC compatibles, Amiga, Amstrad CPC, and Atari ST in 1989. It is the first sequel to Double Dragon, released during the previous year.
The game has compatibility issues when played with a six-button controller, suffering from slight input lag when the players move their characters with the directional pad. The sequel involves Billy and Jimmy Lee in a mission to avenge Billy's girlfriend Marian after she is shot to death by the Black Warriors leader Willy, who is retaliating against the Lee brothers after his defeat at the end of the previous game. In 2013, the Internet Archive put the undeleted assembly sources (DRGNSRC.LZH) of the DOS version available for download.
How Double Dragon II - The Revenge Plays
The biggest change in the game's controls are in the replacement of the original's punch and kick buttons with two directional-based attack buttons (Left Attack and Right Attack) similar to Renegade. One life is lost if either of these reaches zero, or if the player falls off the bottom of the screen or into a pit or bed of spikes. Pressing the attack button of the player's current direction will do a standard series of punches, while pressing the opposite attack button will perform a back kick.
Many of the enemy characters from the first game return for this one, but with altered appearances and new attacks, and the variety of weapons they use has been altered. Similar to Double Dragon, the game is divided into four areas or "missions": a heliport, a lumber storehouse, a farm, and the gang's new hideout. The player must defeat a boss at the end of each mission, as well as one or more sub-bosses along the way.
Why Players Still Load It Up
In Japan, Game Machine listed Double Dragon II: The Revenge as the seventh most successful table arcade unit of March 1989. An unrelated Game Boy game was released under the Double Dragon II name in North America and Europe in 1991. The computer ports were developed by Binary Design, the same studio that handled the computer ports of the first game.
The Mega Drive version of Double Dragon II: The Revenge was released by Palsoft exclusively in Japan on December 20, 1991. It was remade by Naxat Soft for the PC Engine in 1993, known by fans as "Double Dragon II PCE". In the United Kingdom, the game was number three on the Atari ST sales chart in early 1990.
