It plays like something written by a thirteen-year-old aspiring songwriter who snuck into his mom’s Bailey’s Irish Cream.Īdapted from the events of the first “Double Dragon” game, the series opens in a flashback, eighteen years in the past, shortly after the birth of twin brothers Billy and Jimmy who bear the mark of the double dragon. There were songs that were a stroke of genius, they stuck ensuring that every moment of your formative years were spent quietly mediating on “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” “DuckTales,” or “Rescue Rangers.” Then there are theme songs like “Double Dragon” composed by Clark Gassman. There are theme songs from the era of eighties and nineties cartoons that still rattle around my head today, despite not having heard them in years.
I quickly found the first episode, got comfy on the couch, and pressed play.Ī theme song can really make or break your initial impression of a show, it sets the mood and tone for what’s to follow. The complete series is available to watch, who knows for how long. My search began where all hunts for antiquated video begin, YouTube. Nothing beat locking in with a good friend to pummel some bad guys.īased on my unabashed enjoyment of the game, it’s unusual that I would have made it through childhood, having been the perfect age for the cartoon at its release, without having seen any of it.
It’s beat-em-up gameplay style made it easily palatable to a kid and best of all, unlike other games I was into at the time, it had the option of a two-player co-op. Playing “Double Dragon” is one of my earliest video game memories. “Double Dragon” Created by Technos Japan Based on the video game of the same name Produced by DiC Animation Directed by Chuck Patton Starring Jim Byrnes, Garry Chalk, Michael Donovan, Scott McNeil, Wesley Morris, and French Tichner Originally aired SeptemRun time 22 minutes.
