Yeah, my bad, Double Dragon2 was the one I meant. The original Double
Dragon, and Double Dragon3, from my experiences, weren't nearly as fun for
some reason. I just loved how advanced Double Dragon2 was for its age, you
could actually grapple your opponents and throw them into other opponents,
off builings, into spikes, and all kinds of cool things. Makes me wish I
still had my old NES instead of having to rely on emulation.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Classic Remakes
Hi,
Well, Monty retains allot of the game play from the classic, but I
really had to give the sounds a modern day sound scheme to make it
playable. How else would you find the platforms, skulls, etc. They
didn't really have effects and it was very visually oriented.
By the way, the level in Double Dragon where you were in a helicopter
was Double Dragon II or III. It wasn'the original Double Dragon. I think
though the helicopter was Double Dragon *II. Anyway, I have all thre of
them, and they were among my favorite NES games.
Yeah, Double Dragon would probably be all right modernised. Fist sounds,
true helicopter sounds, etc wouldn't at all detract from the game.

Wow, this is definitely an interesting turn in audio gaming. I like where
we're going with these classic games, and if you ask me, remaking
classics for audio gamers should be just that, with sound effects and
such in tact. Perhaps that's why I could never get into Monty, its
supposed to retain the games originality, but its so modernized that it
doesn't feel like a classic anymore. Anyway, that's not the point of this
message. I was thinking of a couple more side scrollers. It'd be cool to
see an audio version of Double Dragon. Anyone remember that game? Ah yes,
back in the day I could actually get all the way to the end of the fourth
level. It was so fun, from flinging enemies off of buildings to picking
up lead pipes and going crazy, even to getting womped by the various
bosses of the game. And my personal favorite level, flying in a
helicopter, doors fully open. The idea was to throw your opponents out of
the copter or otherwise disable them while not falling out of the vehicle
yourself. Those were the days. I could always get to the end of the
fourth level, but there was a trap at the end that foiled me every time
involving some conveyor belts and spikes. I tried to get that far a few
days ago without any luck. Along with TMNT and many of these other
classics, this would be an awesome remake, and honestly I think this is
one of the ones that could be modernized without taking away from the
classic spirit of the game. You know, kind of like Danger City.
