Double Dragon for SEGA Master System




Double Dragon for SEGA Master System… It seems many people cite this 8 Bit version of the arcade smash hit as being more faithful to the original vs. the Nintendo NES version. And to some degree this is true if you look at the multi player and nothing else.

Graphically its similar though the Master System version has more colors but less detail. The moves seem more arbitrary and in many cases more difficult to pull off than it’s NES counter part.

But everything is there including the correct music, plus the added bonus of a third enemy on the screen (the NES version never had more than two on the screen at the same time).

There is one more thing that the Master System version has that I have yet to notice in any of the home conversions… Spike and Hammer. These were the names of the characters in the arcade version and the arcade art featured tattoos of a spike and a hammer. Well the box art of the SEGA Master system clearly shows ‘Billy and Jimmy’ with the tattoos!
