Double Dragon II (Game Boy - Technos Japan - 1991 - UKV)




This great game is one of my childhood favorites! This is not a real Double Dragon per say, merely a sprite swap of another Japanese beat’em up (Bangai Rantō Hen) reskined with an heavy Final Fight influence, but it still kicks ass. When I turned 14, I played less and less on my Game Boy, in favor of my brand new SNES. But when I wanted to get some portable action, I sometimes couldn’t find my cartridges: the boxes were empty. It happened with this game. I always suspected my step brother to steal my games behind my back to sell them and get other games instead. I unwillingly funded his game collection. When I confronted him, he naturally denied my accusations, but just like magic, a hier time later, all my cartridges reappeared back into their boxes. For a long time I had no evidence until now that I know about region codes, I can finally prove it: my copy was supposed to be 100% UKV, and now my cartridge is a FAH one. It was somehow swapped, I guess I have a culprit.
