Double Dragon Dojo Forums

...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 unless you include the pap on the internet. Her dad used to have an Atari ST years ago and sometimes reminises about some of the games she used to play. Heck, I even caught her playing Street Fighter GBA once. But she is also much younger than me (born in 86!) and we have never, ever mentioned Double Dragon. There would be no need to. There's no chance she would have heard of it. Well, this morning I found out otherwise. It went like this...

Me-: If you wanna play co-op on something, Final Fight is out on XBox Live. You might like that.

Her-: What is it?

Me-: It's one of those old fighting games. Y'know, the ones where you walk down the street and beat people up?

Her-: Ah, right... Is one player blue and the other red?

Me-: Hang on... What?!

Her-: Yeah and do you get a baseball bat and fight a girl with a whip?

Me-: WHAT?! No! That's Double Dragon! How do you know of this?!

Her-: Yeah, I used to play that with my sister. I think I might remember Final Fight... I like Double Dragon though.

A similar incident happened to me years ago with an ex. Man, do I pick em!

Nice story. My wife keeps humming the DD music a lot recently due to me playing the game so much

Gee if only i had someone to play old arcade games with. I mean im 15. and kids these days don't like beat em ups anymore, even though they're my fav genre...go figure

Rock n roll! My gf has no clue what DD is but I have told her about it. She says I can name the kids Jimmy, Billy and Marion. That's awesome and it will be even more awesome when she finds out that I was joking about the names
