Double Dragon II

This is one of my favorite co-op titles on the NES. My brother and I sunk HOURS into this game, and the first time we beat it at the hardest difficulty level we were so excited that we threw down our controllers and one of them (he claims it was mine, I swear it was his) hit the Reset button before we got to see the ending. :)

So we had to go all the way back through it AGAIN on the hardest setting and beat the Shadow Master a second time so we could watch the real ending to the game. We felt like we were playing Ghosts 'n Goblins... :)

A classic! I repurchased this game this week from an online classified ad (along with Castlevania II: Simon's Quest). My brother previously owned a copy, but it was given up in a yard sale years ago.

After playing it co-op for the first time in years, we did decent on our lone attempt (Mission 5). We mostly beat ourselves up since making poor jump decisions off platforms did more damage that any enemy we crossed.

I was introduced to Double Dragon II in the special "Pocket Power" issue of Nintendo Power that was given out at showings of "The Wizard" back in 1989 and I couldn't wait to play it.  I didn't actually own a copy until the late 90's, but in 1990 I spent many a weekend renting it from the local Erol's Video Club.  To this day I don't think I could give anyone an accurate description on how to perform the hurricane kick (if I am remembering the name correctly), but it's always a pleasure to pull off!
