Hi, yeah, before I lost my sight I had all three of the original Double Dragon games. I loved playing them. The first one was pretty much a walk along beat-m-up, but Double Dragon II definitely got a lot more interesting. I also liked the chopper level. I loved throwing the bad guys out of the chopper. I can imagine how that would sound in todays sound effects. Hearing the bad guys scream as they fell out of the chopper door to the ground several thousand feet below. That would be wicked cool. Anyway, if it were not for the threat of getting my pants sued off by Nintendo I'd love to make a Mario clone. I suppose if I made a completely free open source job I could get away with it, but you never know. Nintendo is very very protective of their Mario copyrights, and actively hunt down offenders. Since DSG hasn't been bothered I guess our little community is for now safe from that, but who knows.
