Double Dragon = Innovation



Super Mario Brothers was cool. And I loved Mega-Man and Legend of Zelda.



And just so we're crystal clear, nothing in the world ever compares to the joy that is Super Tecmo Bowl (Greatest Video Game Of All-Time).

However, a cartridge that is often overlooked when ranking out some of the greatest games of all-time is Double Dragon.



When you played Super Mario Bros. you had to switch off and share.

I understand that "Sharing is Caring," but when you're 12 years old, it's hard to rap your head around that concept.



In steps.... Double Dragon!! You mean we can play at the same time! Two guys fighting on the screen at the same time! Like Contra, only with kicks, punches and headbutts!!



You still had a female to save. And sometimes you fought these Giant dudes.



You could also pick up a bat and swing it, throw a barrell at a pack of dudes, and give a few flying kicks.

Double Dragon, an underrated classic from back in the day...
