Double Dragon II NES – Full Playthrough [No Deaths]

LKLeave a comment

Double Dragon II is one of the best beat’em up games on the NES. This is a full, deathless playthrough complete with mini-doc and trivia bits in 4K.

 

Following up the Double Dragon NES retro-play from last time out, and also revisiting a game I covered 12 years ago… Double Dragon II is one of the best beat’em up games on the NES. This is a full, deathless playthrough complete with mini-doc and trivia bits in 4K. Long overdue upgrade treatment from that old video that was recorded directly from the NES console in 240p. Had a lot of fun with this one!

My Retro Christmas

In an attempt to recapture that magical excitement from childhood, I reached way back into the ’80s and got myself some gifts that 8 year old me would’ve gone crazy for.

 

Merry Christmas, everyone! Last year I made some changes to my holiday traditions, and kicked off the first year of it by theming the holiday out retro style! In an attempt to recapture that magical excitement from childhood, I reached way back into the ’80s and got myself some gifts that 8 year old me would’ve gone crazy for. Turned out to be a very special day. I hope everyone is having a happy holiday!

Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse | Full Playthrough With Trivia

Completing the classic Konami trilogy, here’s a full playthrough/guide with some trivia bits on the final Castlevania game of the 8-bit era.

 

Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse is one of the most challenging games on the old school NES, and also one of the best. Completing the classic Konami trilogy, here’s a full playthrough/guide with some trivia bits on the final Castlevania game of the 8-bit era.


When I started this project, it actually wasn’t a project, per se. I covered Simon’s Quest out of a pure labor-of-love desire, as the second game is the most sentimental to me. The following year I covered the original game just because. At that point the trilogy project became a thing (and I’m glad it did). This was fun. 😊
