I don’t particularly remember the Double Dragon sequel. I’m sure I rented it a number of times or played it at my friend Zach’s house on a regular basis, but I never owned it myself. I also wasn’t reading comics at the time this ad came out (this scan’s from the 1990 issues of Ghost Rider #2), so I missed out on this rad art whose creator I haven’t been able to track down with a very basic Google search. I’m pretty sure it would have gotten me to go out and buy the game instantly because it looks awesome. Just take a few moments to bask. If only the comics, cartoon or movie were as cool as this one image. Actually, where’s our next gen version of DD? It would make a rad 360 or PS3 game and the right developers could probably come up with a fun version for the Wii with lots of punching and kicking.
I would pour over box art in department store XMAS catalogs for hours and hours.
So much love for the old department store catalogs. One stop shopping for glamor shots of toys AND games.
