Take to the streets in Double Dragon, the seminal beat ’em up ported to the Atari 7800. Released in 1987, you control martial artists Billy and Jimmy Lee as they fight their way through the city to rescue Marian from the Black Warriors gang. The game defined the cooperative scrolling brawler genre, letting you utilize punches, kicks, and scavenged weapons to clear out enemies.

Tips
- Move vertically (up or down) to dodge incoming attacks, then approach enemies slightly off-center to strike safely.
- The elbow smash is an extremely effective attackโuse it to quickly deal with enemies approaching from behind.
- Prioritize taking down enemies carrying weapons first, so you can turn their bats and whips against the rest of the gang.
