The arcade version of Double Dragon II: The Revenge begins with Marian, the heroine from the original Double Dragon, being shot to death by the leader of the Black Warriors. Once again, the player assumes the role of brothers Billy Lee and Jimmy Lee, who are now tasked with the duty of avenging Marian’s death. The arcade version of the game is essentially an improved version of the original title. 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. 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. A few new moves are added as well, including a “Hurricane Kick.” Read more >
