This game really brought back some fond childhood memories—days when you had free time all summer long to join your friends and play your favorite video games together. One of my favorites games of all time is none other than Double Dragon. The first version I played as a kid was the Nintendo port, which was the best fighting game I ever played at that time. Years later, I played the arcade version and realized there were significant differences, but the NES version was still a lot of fun in it's own right. I recently bought a used Game Boy on eBay and wanted to relive those memories by playing this Double Dragon classic once again. Sure enough, I'm still just as impressed as I was way back then! This version is very similar to the NES port in terms of the game play and level design. It's not identical, but close enough. I did notice the black guys were replaced with Roper in the first level, which I imagine is because of space limitations, not racism (hopefully!), but the other characters including Linda, Chin, etc. are faithfully present in this version of the game. I highly recommend Double Dragon for the Game Boy to keep this wonderful part of gaming history with you on the go!Read full review
The Double Dragon and Mickey Mouse game are great! The Draemon game has too much Japanese for me to figure out.

I feel i should draw attention to the fact that this game was made in 1988. This was before video games really had a quality feel to them, and it shows with this game. The controls are simple: A to punch B to kick. The gameplay is simplistic and can get a bit boring at times. Walking around a non-descript urban location, then a warehouse, then a forest, etc, and providing a good beating to the inexplicably aggressive enemies can be fun for a while, but there are several aspects of the game design that become quite frustrating after a while. For example, if you get a game over you're forced to start the game from the beginning again, which can be extremely frustrating if you reach a high level. Another frustrating aspect is the sharp difficulty spike of some of the bosses. Working your way through the level is usually pretty easy, but even on the first level the boss is just ridiculously hard to beat. There is no particular strategy to beating it, so luck is pretty important. This game failed to impress me overall. It's simply not very fun. Spare yourself of the frustration of not being able to save any data and don't buy this game.Read full review
I'm a big Double Dragon fan. I feel that this version is one of the best on the hand held console produced in the 1980's and 1990's. It follows a mixture of the NES version and the Arcade version. Although the graphics are limited because of the power of the gameboy, the gameplay is a plus. The only trouble is the controls when jumping to platform to platform. Sometimes you die when you really think you accomplished the jump. Is makes the game harder. Also, you start at the beginning of the stage when ever you die. That SUCKS. Besides that, the game is a must for Double Dragon fans everywhere. Thanks, Master K
I have been a Double Dragon fan for years, especially when I used to play the arcade version of this game back in the day. There are some good components for this Gameboy version of DD, such as the music (which was brilliantly translated from the NES version) and the play control. Unfortunately, what kills the fun out of this game is that there are no continues or stage selects, especially because I cannot beat the final level. I can make it past the wall of spikes but I simply gave up when I couldn't get past the final part before the boss so I just decided to sell the game. Get the NES version of this game instead, it has the color plus better graphics.
