Double Dragon II: The Revenge is a classic beat ’em up action game released for DOS in 1988. In this sequel, Billy and Jimmy Lee hit the streets to avenge the death of Marian, battling their way through the ruthless Black Warriors gang. The game is known for its intense co-op brawling, distinct directional combat system, and challenging enemy encounters across gritty environments.
How to play
As a side-scrolling beat ’em up, the goal is to fight through waves of enemies and defeat the boss at the end of each stage. Unlike typical fighting games, attacks are directional: one button always attacks to your left and another always attacks to your right. This means you will punch enemies in front of you and kick enemies behind you depending on which way you are facing. Use the directional keys to move and position yourself to avoid getting surrounded.

Tips
- Master the Cyclone Kick: The spinning cyclone kick is an incredibly powerful move for crowd control when you are surrounded by enemies.
- Control the crowd: Never let enemies surround you on both sides. Move up or down to reposition and keep them all in front of you or behind you.
- Use the environment: Look out for weapons like baseball bats and chains dropped by enemies, and use them to your advantage.
