MiSTer FPGA – Double Dragon (双截龍 ダブルドラゴン) [2 Player] / Technos Arcade

First time playing through the arcade version of this with two players, and it’s a bit disappointing. I recommend sticking to single player in this one because of the massive slowdown. And even then, its a rough playthrough with all the various glitches you can encounter, and the emphasis on cheese-strats like the elbow move.

We got a glitch at the ending that reset the game instead of giving us a proper ending. This is a known glitch in the game, amongst many others.

This game is an arcade classic, and it set the stage for an entire new genre, along with its predecessor, Renegade, which was also the first Kunio-kun game (River City Ransom, etc..). Like many entries in the Kunio-kun series, this one features exceptional music, with very catchy and well-composed melodies.

There are lots of neat little ways to play around with the glitchy code in this game, and you should be able to re-create everything you see in articles and videos online, in the MiSTer core version, if you care to mess around with it a bit.

EDIT: Recorded a new Double Dragon two-player video, this time with CPU Turbo for slowdown reduction: https://youtu.be/eByIbu0grHE

We did a playthrough of Double Dragon 2 after this one: https://youtu.be/F3-jQmNfgdc
