Ya Kung-Fu was an arcade port of a Data East game just as Commando was. Double Dragon was originaly done by Taito in the arcades, then ported by Activision to the 2600. They also tackled RAMPAGE (too bad that didn't hit the collection, I believe Midway originaly did that game). I wish there was some info or details about these ports that Activision did. Interviews with the programmers and such. It'd be interesting to know the challenges, sucesses and faults they had doing these games. I mean these arcade games were pretty state-of-the-art at the time and for the most part they were translated well to the very very limited 2600.

I know why Ghostbusters didn't make it (Sony/Columbia Pictures assh*les). But why didn't Kung Fu make it (Data East licensed it to Activision just as they did with Commando) or David Crane's Skate Boardin' make it either (all of the other Absolute Entertainment titles are there)? Please also ould you fill me in on Double Dragon? Thank you.
