A trio of games this week on the PAL Virtual Console (all of which would be dead to us if "Ninja Dragon Games" actually existed), including one we totally want, one that will probably be undeservedly overlooked in favor of the one we totally want and, um, World Games (Commodore 64), which we're entirely unfamiliar with.The former, obviously, is Double Dragon (NES), and although we plan to download Technos' landmark game with a quickness, we feel a bit bad for The Last Ninja (Commodore 64), which deserves some attention, if only for its amazing soundtrack. Check videos of all three out after the blue words, and marvel at how barrel jumping looks ... oddly compelling.

I would probably buy Summer Games before World Games, but I rather hated most things in it. But there was either more content in the Commadore 64 version than the Apple IIe version, or I had to flip the disk to play the other content. Either way, I doubt I'd buy either game though. I only ever got good at the vault event, although I was ok at the pole vault, too.

Why did they release Double Dragon on NES when the Master System version has co-op?
And even worse, the game was also released on Genesis(poor standards for that console, but still better than these 8-bit version).
VC really needs to stop ruining arcade games with outdated ports and just allow actual systems on it.

Edit: I meant to say "arcade systems".

Yep, they are to flip out and kill people.
