Double Dragon II ZX Spectrum

I know I know my production here has been slow lately, but at least I'm more active than World of Spectrum....there, read into that whatever way you will. Anyways, after the sheer disappointment of Double Dragon we were left fearing the inevitable, and yes that day came to pass, the day when a bloody sequel came out. So yes this is Double Dragon II: The Revenge...the revenge of what exactly? Those who hated the original or those who made the original one of the worst arcade conversions known to mankind. Who knows, and frankly who cares.

The very first thing you'll notice is title music, missing from Double Dragon 1. Then you'll notice the game is faster than Double Dragon 1, perhaps too fast for my liking but still it's a significant improvement. Then you'll notice the gameplay...while a little better than Double Dragon 1 is still a bit awkward in that it's quite tricky to hit the enemies while they can hit you almost spot on and thus your energy depletes quite quickly. As for graphically, again it's better than Double Dragon 1, with better looking sprites and some pretty detail.

So yes much better than the original but sadly still falls short of greatness. Not pitiful by any means though.

Oh and there's a slight editing cock up here from me, forgive me I'm rusty.
