pocketmego Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) I don't mean the characters in DD are badly rendered. No, I mean they look like street urchins. Just about no one in that game is wearing shoes and everyone from the hero down the line of villains looks like they are wearing rags. What kind of awful urban nightmare city do they live in? Maybe they should stop fighting and go get jobs or something. Get some kind of financial aid for Abobo, get the big guy a shirt. Poor, miserable, wretches. -Ray Edited September 10, 2006 by pocketmego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Double Dragon is definitely not the better of the two Activison games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Yeah -- I always thought the characters look like they were tossed together in a hurry. The Abobos are repurposed wrestlers in Imagineering/Absolute's TITLE MATCH wresting. and Jimmy Lee looks the same as the hoods he fights. Really, not the most quality effort, though I did finds the game fun and some of the levels look better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Welcome to the tragic world of the 7800. Many of the later titles were also done on other systems, and the 7800 versions seemed almost like afterthoughts that nobody really put much effort into. I'm glad that homebrewers are finally starting to care about the system and are developing games that show what it can really do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpfalcon2003 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I think that this game is okay. Far above average. I do prefer the NES version, but this one is not bad at all. Even the 2600 version is excellent considering the systems limitations. Only thing I don't like is that the 2600 version is way too hard.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I still stand by Double Dragon 7800 as being one of the better titles for the system. Bugs and all, I proudly own and play Double Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali_fighter Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 WHHAAA! I actually liked the Atari Lynx version......Well, it was amazing to see an amazing platform game come out on the lynx. I actually wish i own every 'telegames' for the Lynx. But then again, ninja gaiden for the lynx was amazing......the music is still stuck in my head.

Bakasama Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 You're complaining about crappy graphics? Why not craft some fake screenshots to suggest how Double Dragon should look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocketmego Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) You're complaining about crappy graphics? Why not craft some fake screenshots to suggest how Double Dragon should look like. If you read my original post thoroughly, you'll find I never once complained about the crappy graphics. People took the thread in that direction. My statement was very matter of fact. Everyone in the game litterally looks like street urchins. They are all wearing rags and none of them own shoes. It's like a poverty rowe production of Double Dragon. If you want me to do mock screenshots of the characters wearing shoes, I doubt that would be anything but INCREDIBLY amusing. -Ray Edited September 12, 2006 by pocketmego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then somebody can look at it and make a hack out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Kay Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Didn't Imagineering also do Bubsy for the Jag. That game has some of the shittiest collision detection and death sequences on earth. If that was them, glad to see that they're consistent in turning out crap for Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
