A beat em' up game that started it all. Marion has been kidnapped by the black warriors and demanded the lee brothers to disclose their martial arts secrets in return for Marion's freedom. The Lee brothers retailiate by going on a mission to rescue and save Marion. They use whatever technique they have like basic punches, kicks, jump kicks, elbow strike, head butts, as well as weapons. that comes to their hands. The Lee brothers must pursue the gangs through city slums, industrial areas, and the forest reaching out to the black warriors hideout to confront big boss, Willy the gunman.

This is is a mediocre port of the arcade version. The controls don't seem right. The graphics are messy here. There's no music and just sound effects which is inferior to the arcade version. The final boss, big boss willy is almost impossible to beat in the DOS version without save states. For DD fans, stick with arcade or NES version instead.
