Double Dragon (Lynx) Playthrough [4K]
2"Double Dragon", developed and published by Telegames for the Atari Lynx in 1993, brings the iconic arcade beat 'em up action to the handheld device. Players step into the shoes of Billy and Jimmy Lee, two martial arts experts on a mission to rescue Billy's girlfriend, Marian, who has been kidnapped by the Black Warriors gang.
The game features side-scrolling action across various urban environments, from city streets to industrial zones. Players face off against a variety of enemies, including street thugs, martial artists, and even armed thugs wielding weapons such as baseball bats and knives. Armed with their fists and an array of martial arts moves, players must battle their way through the dangerous streets of New York City to confront the gang's leader, Willy. The game has a diverse arsenal of weapons, including the whip, bat, knife, crate, and boulder for players to pick up and use.
Visually, "Double Dragon" faithfully captures the essence of the arcade original. Character sprites, including the protagonist Billy and adversaries, are impressively large and detailed. While the Lynx's screen limitations necessitate frequent scrolling, it doesn't detract from the gameplay experience. Environments, such as streets, forests, and factories, are well-rendered, ensuring everything remains visible.
Overall, "Double Dragon" for the Atari Lynx does a good job of bringing the experience to the Atari Lynx. The controls and combat mechanics are a bit sluggish, and with only two buttons available, executing moves and attacks can cause frustration and confusion during gameplay. Its age and lack of depth may disappoint those seeking a more robust gaming experience. The game is short, and with its low difficulty, experienced beat 'em up players will finish it fast.
