Players advance through four stages. You start in a street, move into a factory, through a jungle/forest then end up in a castle. There are a variety of moves such as back-kicks, elbows, head-butts, uppercuts, knee-ing in the face and throws. You can steal weapons from enemies such as knives, clubs, whips and dynamite among others and use them against any of the enemies. You can also use oil drums, crates and big rocks to throw at your enemies. Not much else to do except walk along and beat the crap out of anyone in your way until you finish the game.
The third level is quite long, so unless you have played the game a lot you may not be able to complete this stage within the time limit, in which case you will lose a life. There are also instant die situations when you must jump over a bridge and holes.... (more)(less)
"The beat-'em-up (or walk-and-punch) game was definitely one of the most popular video game designs of the '80s and early to mid '90s. Though it's now a relative zero factor, the genre did much to set the tone for many of today's games. Elements of these comparatively primitive games often turn up in the most unlikely of places, including action games, fighting games, and even some adventure games.
It wasn't the first game to focus on the walk-and-punch gameplay style: Games like Irem's Kung Fu "

"Forget the (mostly) lackluster sequels, home versions of varying quality, crappy cartoon, and silly straight-to-video film--when it debuted in the arcade, Double Dragon was it. Accessible and fun from the start but with plenty of depth to explore, it spawned a legion of imitations that rarely surpassed it.""
