Double Dragon was a pretty huge when it came out and when people talk about beat em' ups they often mention it. Is it really a cult thing?

I'd say no. Double Dragon was big when it came out, I remember quite clearly everyone playing the shit out of it. It was one of those games that my mom wouldn't buy us, so my brother and I would go to our buddies house to play.

Right? I'm pretty sure Double Dragon or Battletoads were the game that introduced the beat em' up genre for most of the people in my generation and those close to it.

I remember mom not letting us buy it because it would make me and my brother violent. So one day we went to a friend's house to try it out. The first thing my brother did when we got home was punching me in the face while shouting "DOUBLE DRAGON!". I guess mom were right that time..
