Double Dragon is a classic beat ’em up action game released for the Atari 2600 in 1987. Based on the hit arcade title, this adaptation scales the street-brawling experience to the 2600’s hardware while keeping the core objective: fighting through waves of gang members to rescue Marian. You will need to rely on carefully timed punches, kicks, and jump kicks to survive the side-scrolling levels.
How to Play
Your goal is to defeat all enemies in your path to advance through the stages and ultimately save Marian. Combat requires managing your distance and striking when enemies are vulnerable.

Tips
- Use the jump kick: It is your most reliable attack for knocking down approaching enemies before they can strike.
- Control the crowd: Avoid getting surrounded by keeping all enemies on one side of you so they cannot attack from behind.
