I mean, seriously, ask yourself: when was the last time you and a buddy busted out with some Double Dragon?


It´s been too long since i played dd in two player but i still play DD II for the nes from time to time :D so yeah Double Dragon got my vote

Double Dragon is, do I dare say, boring to me. I'd much rather play River City Ransom. At least you have a little bit of variety and some money and equipment. Heck...we should play River City Ransom!

Honestly, the big perk with Double Dragon for me was multiplayer. Me and my brother would get the chance to sit and work together in a video game, something we rarely got to do, and helped each other beat the snot out of thugs, something we did too often to each other. In a way, it's nostalgia that makes me enjoy this game.

Also, Duck Tales for the NES should be played.

That's why I really liked Final Fight, but only the Sega CD version has all 3 characters and 2 player mode! TMNT Arcade is great for multiplayer. Also Goonies 2 is a great NES title akin to Duck Tales.

Not my specific choice but if we were to do a computer game I think a nice goldmine would be old LucasArts games. Grim Fandango specifically but also the Monkey Island games. I have only played the 3D Monkey Island games and from what I can tell the older ones are even better.

The game I want to see most is Space Harrier. Great music, great atmosphere, classic.

I'd do RCR. Would it count if I played the GBA remake?
