Double Dragon (双截龍) is a beat 'em up released in the arcades in 1987. It was an instant success, spawning several sequels, a fighting game spinoff, and even a movie. An enhanced remake titled Double Dragon Advance was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004. The game was also enhanced with high definition graphics and achievements for Xbox Live Arcade in 2007.
The game follows the story of Billy and Jimmy Lee, twin brothers who learned to fight on the cold, tough streets of their city. Their expert knowledge of the martial art Sou-Setsu-Ken, combined with their streetwise outlook, means that they're two of the most formidable combatants ever to walk the streets.
But now Billy and Jimmy are faced with the greatest challenge they're encountered. Billy's girlfriend, Marian, has been kidnapped by the Black Warriors, a barbaric street gang headed up by Big Boss Willy.
Use whatever weapons come to hand - knives, whips, bats, rocks, oil drums, even dynamite! Take control of Billy and Jimmy as they pursue the gang through the slums, factories, and outskirts of the city to reach the gangs hideout for their final confrontation with Willy.
