Double Dragon 3 the arcade game is a 1992 progressive fighting game.The game's producer, Software Creations, and distributor, Flying Edge, have done a great job.The story of the game is as follows.Only one person knows the real story behind Marion's disappearance... and she's dead! Now the Double Dragons must rely on a mysterious fortune teller to find Marion and her ransom - the Sacred Stones of Power! You fend off evil street thugs, evil ninja warriors, deadly gladiators, Manchurian barbarians and more! Defeat your most fearsome enemies and they will join your side with pure respect - adding their Iron Claws and Shanghai Stars to your brand new martial arts maneuvers - like awesome mid-air somersaults. Double Dragon III. If you survive the action, you will save Marion, protect your honor and discover the truth behind the Sacred Stones. If you fail...The gameplay is as follows.in this game consisting of 5 sections, you are trying to kill the enemies and cross the section.The music of the game is beautiful.If you are not very obsessed with graphics and you like retro games very much, this game is for you.My rating for the game: 10/10 (y) Good games to everyone 🙂

Some context for this review: I'm not skilled enough to have much fun with old NES games without one or two Game Genie codes and/or save states. I try not to overdo it, but for me the alternative is never clearing more than the first level of any game released before 1996. 😅

Some context for this review: I'm not skilled enough to have much fun with old NES games without one or two Game Genie codes and/or save states. I try not to overdo it, but for me the alternative is never clearing more than the first level of any game released before 1996. 😅

My brother and I played and enjoyed Double Dragon II: The Revenge a while back, so we decided to give this one a try. We enjoyed it, but not quite as much as its predecessor.

On the plus side, the ability to expand your party and swap between different characters and weapons is pretty cool. I preferred Ranzou for his agility, whereas my brother favored Chin for his powerful punch. It also makes it a lot easier to differentiate which character is yours on-screen.

Unfortunately, the levels themselves are pretty boring. Although the game takes place in several different regions, it all tends to feel like wallpaper on the same boring corridor. It just doesn't match the elevators, sewers and cityscapes of Double Dragon II.

The game's fun and we enjoyed it, but I wouldn't bother playing it again solo.
