Re: Double Dragon is covered in the next Retro Gamer...

Ah, that's great.

DD was of course covered very well in the old version of RG but it's a nice inclusion. GnG cover looks great too, should be a fun issue.

Machines that Double Dragon never appeared on...

In my old age, and thanks to people like Swainy, I have becoming increasingly interested in what wasn't rather than what was. With this in mind, what machines, that never got a Double Dragon game, would you like to see Double Dragon on? I don't mean a new game or emulated classic for current generat...

Re: Double Dragon is covered in the next Retro Gamer...

Note to Mike - Retro Gamer has been out a few weeks already in the UK. The article is okay. Nothing earth shattering but worth checking out. I'm hoping Swainy gets the full thing plus for a Dojo exclusive!

Missing Reviews

Given the new interest in the Dojo (we get a revival every few years), I'm tempted to replay and review some of the games missing from the Dojo (even redo some of the reviews already here). Here's a brief overview of what's missing... DD (XBox 360) - The most requested no doubt and for good reason. ...

Re: Find of the day... (DD arcade review from back in the day!)

- The reviewer didn't know who Abobo was (oh the blasphemy!) I didn't know who Abobo was until the home versions! In fact, I didn't know who Billy and Jimmy Lee were either (There's no way of finding out in the arcade game!) Have to wonder where "beat em up" came from though! It seems to ...

Re: Double Dragon coming back to the 360!!!

Well that's... random. It probably IS the Atari 2600 version! :S My first impressions of the games room after downloading the demo are not good at all. Sure, the presentation is great but I was hoping to enjoy Yar's Revenge et all right off the bat only to discover that they have to be individually ...

Re: Double Dragon coming back to the 360!!!

Well my little spies tell me that it is the arcade version and that it won't feature that HD graphics option. It's simply the original arcade game on it's own. Oh and April 28th is when it will be hitting the Games Room. Which is a good thing imo. Especially based on the conversion I had earlier to...

So my girlfriend is way cooler than I thought...

...at least based on the discussion I had this morning. She knows I like old arcade games, has looked through copies of Retro Gamer and earlier this year, we both played through Lego Batman. She isn't a big fan of 3D games and she's what you'd call an avid gamer either. She's not even a gamer really...
