Double Dragon 3 - The Arcade Game
双截龙：3 - The Arcade Game
Double Dragon 3: The Arcade Game is a side-scrolling beat-em-up developed by Flying Edge and released for the Sega Genesis in 1992. Players control martial artists who progress through multiple stages filled with enemies and boss encounters. Combat combines hand-to-hand strikes with weapon pickups scattered throughout levels. The game supports two-player co-operative and competitive modes. Controls use the directional pad for movement and action buttons for punching, kicking, and jumping. Players can perform throws and utilize found weapons to increase combat effectiveness. Each level features distinct environments and progressively challenging enemy formations. Difficulty escalates across stages, culminating in boss battles that require skill and coordination.
