Double Dragon II: The Revenge (PC Engine CD)
📖 介紹
The definitive home version of the classic beat 'em up, featuring enhanced CD audio, animated cutscenes, and the debut of the iconic Cyclone Spin Kick.
Double Dragon II: The Revenge, originally a 1988 arcade hit, received this enhanced 1993 PC Engine CD-ROM port by Technōs Japan. Published by NEC Avenue, it is celebrated for bringing the full arcade experience home with superior CD-quality audio and exclusive animated cutscenes.
The gameplay refines the series' side-scrolling brawling. A key innovation is the 'Cyclone Spin Kick,' executed by pressing both buttons simultaneously, which became a signature move. The CD format also enabled arranged music tracks and new voice-acted story sequences, deepening the immersion.
The story follows twin brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee as they seek vengeance for the apparent murder of their friend Marian. The PC Engine CD version expands on this narrative with a unique animated intro depicting Marian's helicopter ambush and the brothers' vow for revenge.
This version is particularly noted by fans for its outstanding soundtrack and faithful translation of the arcade action. The introduction of the Cyclone Spin Kick influenced future beat 'em up design, and the enhanced presentation helped set a standard for console ports in the early CD-ROM era.
