Double Dragon II: The Revenge, this is a sequel title to a game which arrived earlier on the NES as an arcade port, something pretty standard back in the day of arcades, and like it’s original port, has variations from the arcade.
The trick is, the variations are much less than that of the original (which might as well been it’s own version of the arcade game but sucky). I was a huge fan of the original Double Dragon title in the arcade and was met with extreme disappointment when I found out it was strictly single player on the NES console.
This game was 300% better than the disappointing Double Dragon release on the NES. Granted, the NES version was fun to play, in single-player, but I purchased it for the two-player nature of the arcade version so I could play the game with my friends. Double Dragon II, on the NES had finally restored my faith in Technos Japan and the american publisher Acclaim. They took a bad situation and made it much better in the second release, why they didn’t make the original multiplayer is beyond me.

Sorry that I haven’t been listening to on commenting on your podcast recently, life kind of got in the way, big time. All I want to say is THANK YOU FOR THIS. Hopefully I’ll be able to listen to each episode that I’ve missed sometime soon.
One thing, River already met the Doctor for the first time back in Let’s Kill Hitler, where he actually saw her regenerating. What makes the whole situation even weirder is that River grew up with her parents and was best friends with them.
Ha ha ha, you should get Jennifer on the show more often.
I only saw Doctor Who now and then; while the show itself is good, my work schedule doesn’t allow me to follow it properly.
