Double Dragon was one of my fav. games as a child but when i look back at it now it seems so boring & redundant. Streets of Rage is the best beat em' up series ever imo though it also seems pointless to me know the same as DD.I never played this 'Kung Fu Master' game you mentioned flan_man. Whats that like?
Unlike most classics Double Dragon doesn't seem to have aged so well.
About this Kung Fu Master: that one had Game of Death written all over it. Basically it's a sidescrolling fighter where you work your way through five floors, disposing of baddies that come towards you both from the right and the left. You only have one basic punch and kick at your disposal, but it does make a big difference if you're standing, crouching or jumping while performing them.
I loved it. Every enemy requires another tactic to dispose of. It's not just mindless punching. For instance: by the time you reach the second floor, coloured vases start falling down, and you have to anticipate on the colour because it indicates a particular kind of threat.
