    This game is a definitely a five star game! It did seem like a lot of money but after you play double dragon a few you might get addicted to this game.
    I think the only problem with this game is you have to click the game twice to play

    At first, it wouldn't play, just a black screen after I selected arcade mode and such. After I shut it off, and reopened. Presto, works. And while it is, double dragon. I don't love the control scheme. How fast you have to be to throw a jump kick is an accomplishment. The game looks and sounds and plays nice. Control wise. I'm not the expert, they probably did the best the could, but I don't love the movement. Joystick is fast. Press a tiny bit and whosh, way across the screen.

    Sensacional essa coletânea, diversão a moda antiga, só conectar um controle bluetooth no Fire TV stick e mandar ver! Único ponto é que pelo menos nessa versão pra Fire OS não consigo alternar entre a trilha sonora remixada e a clássica, ainda não testei na versão Android, fora isso é muito bom!

    5.0 out of 5 stars was Skeptical
    Reviewed in Canada on August 25, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I was skeptical after reading that big review because all the Double Dragons i've tried before were either not exact copies of the original or bad attempts or remakes. This works great on my Android Tablet and my BlackBerry Z10 smartphone. It is exactly like the Arcade version I grew up with right down to stages and music. South nostalgia and fun. Very good price for all three games also. Couldn't be any happier. Thank you DotEmu!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A better conversion than I could have hoped for , however....
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 18, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This title has had very mixed reviews here , and I wasn't sure whether to give it a try , but being a huge fan of the 80s arcade scene , and at such a low price had to go for it.
    In truth it is a far better conversion than most versions of this game , with excellent sprites and sound . The only down side is that the controls really hamper progress , as you are using virtual touch screen joypad and buttons , your character will often go the wrong way as you flick your thumb and you will take damage as you struggle ( not the codes fault - the fighter moves as instructed but rather the system implemented is not perfect ) But hey, you're buying a side scrolling beat-em up on a touch screen device you know what you're getting into !
    Three games at such a low price is a bargain - if you're an old school gaming fan , you almost strike gold picking this up.
