Double Dragon II The Revenge

Double Dragon II: The Revenge is a side-scrolling beat 'em up and the sequel to the arcade classic. Following the murder of Marian by the Black Warriors, brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee set out for revenge. The arcade original replaced punch/kick buttons with a directional-based attack system (Left Attack/Right Attack), adding moves like the Hurricane Kick. The game features four missions: a heliport, a lumber storehouse, a farm, and the gang's hideout. Weapons include shovels, knives, whips, and grenades. After defeating the final boss, players face a clone of their own character. Supports two-player co-op.
