Webster's Dictionary defines a badly-designed video game as follows:
- a feature-incomplete or -lacking title that feels thread-bare
- a video game with poor design choices, such as no extra lives or health pickups
- a game with an awful difficulty balance that punishes player too early and too often
- a plate of hot diarrhea

Double Dragon III matches all of these descriptions. The enemies are too capable of avoiding hits, you have fewer effective moves than the previous game, and oh yeah, THERE'S NO EXTRA LIVES OR CONTINUES! SHAME ON YOU, TECHNOS JAPAN. EXTRA LIVES ARE NOT OPTIONAL IN YOUR STYLE OF GAME!
