'''''Double Dragon''''' is a series of side-scrolling [[Beat'Em Up]]'s that helped popularize the genre back in the late [[The Eighties|1980s]] and early [[The Nineties|1990s]].
The original 1987 arcade game, developed by the now-defunct Technos Japan Corp. and distributed by [[Taito]], featured a rather simple and standard premise: twin martial artists Billy and Jimmy Lee must save their lady-friend Marian from the clutches of the Black Warriors, a ruthless gang that controls the city.
Line 12:
In addition to the games, there was also an [[Double Dragon (animation)|Animated Series]] and a [[Double Dragon (film)|live-action movie]], as well as a comic where their dad was [[Stan Lee]]. Yes, that one.
