Hey I had that comic book! I also had (well have) Double Dragon II for the NES. It is nowhere as good as the first game sadly.

You’re crazy. DD2 slaps. My dream game is that but after you gain specific achievements you could choose different characters.

I thought DD1 and DD3 were both much more fun, but hey you do you. I did like a the very specific jump kick move in DD2 that would send enemies flying, but that alone didn't do it for me.

The flying knee is hilarious.

But dd2 is my go to game when I have just a few min. And one of the handful of games from my youth that I can still play daily.
