Reception[]

The NES version of Double Dragon was highly praised. Computer and Video Games first rated the game on May 1988, giving it 80%. It concludes, "All in all Double Dragon has some very tasty graphics and has got a good solid feel to it (although it does flicker in places!) sound does tend to grate on a bit but is bearable."[1] The magazine reviewed the game a second time on December, with Julian Rignall rating it with an 83%. He stated that, "The Nintendo unfortunately lacks the two-player option, but more than makes up for this deficiency with an extra one-on-one Street Fighter-style game included on the ROM."[2]
