Double Dragon II: The Revenge is a classic side-scrolling beat-’em-up released for the NES in 1990. Players take control of martial artists Billy and Jimmy Lee as they fight through waves of enemy gang members to avenge the loss of Marian. This acclaimed sequel expands on its predecessor by offering full two-player cooperative gameplay and a distinct directional combat system that adds a more tactical feel to the brawling.
How to Play
The objective is to fight your way through nine stages of enemies and platforming hazards to defeat the Shadow Boss. Use the standard browser controls to play: the Arrow keys act as the D-pad for movement, Enter is Start, and Shift is Select. The Z and X keys function as the A and B buttons, but instead of standard punches and kicks, they represent left and right attacks. Pressing the button corresponding to the direction you are facing performs a punch, while pressing the opposite button executes a powerful back kick.
Tips
- Master the Cyclone Spin Kick: Jump by pressing Z and X simultaneously, then press an attack button at the exact peak of your jump. This move is incredibly powerful and can clear out multiple enemies at once.
- Beware of traps: Later stages feature tricky platforming sections and environmental hazards. Take these areas slowly, as falling off the screen or into a trap will cost you a life instantly, no matter how much health you have left.
