Article for the 10th Year Anniversary of the Dojo!
Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 4:20 pm
Okay, to heck with it! I'm getting started on this article / interview for the 10th year anniversary of the dojo! Here we'll answer the same questions and work it interview style to figure out why we all love Double Dragon in the first place! Really it's completely ripped off a Retro Gamer article called 'Let's All Play...' but it works well for them. Everybody feel free to PM me your answers to keep it private until it's finished (posting on here will spoil it). I'm thinking of calling it 'The last fans of the Lee Bros' or something but anybody with a better title, feel free to let us know.
Anyway, on with the interegation! (Note - this is all for the original DD or the first DD you saw) And for each question... Feel free to write more than a paragraph! Let's avoid boring one or two lines, eh?
First Impressions
What it says on the tin. What did you first think when you saw DD, where were you, what version did you see, did you play it... etc, etc!
Billy or Jimmy?
Did you tend to be Billy or Jimmy? Did you prefer a one or two player game? Elebarate, particullar stories would be good.
Favourite Move
Self explanatory.
Best Boss
Ditto. What's good / bad about him?
Favourite Stage
And why?
Best Moment
Could relate to a gameplay moment (Abobo smashes through the wall!) or something from the other games (the moment I played DD2 for the NES and realised it was a completely different game to the arcade, etc)
Why We Love It So
Nothing more to say here...
The Legacy
Any feelings, one way or another to the other DD games and / or games that were influenced by DD?
Discovering the Dojo
How, when and why did you find the Dojo? Did it surprise you to find fan sites on such a game / series years later?
In Retrospect
We may have loved it back in 1987 but what about in 2010? Is it still relevant today?
