3Double Dragon is a version of the arcade game that has you playing as Billy fighting your way through the streets to rescue your girlfriend Marian. This is an arcade conversion of the beat'em up where you fight hand-to-hand and using temporary weapons you find along the way. Unlike many other home conversions, this has two player simultaneous play with more enemies on screen at a time. It's also a very easy game as you have unlimited continues until the final stage. The characters overlap too much and with the bad hit detection this makes your attacks miss more than I feel like they should. Graphically it has a lot of flicker but looks nice. It just doesn't feel right when playing it.
