What if, after all these years, after seeing the game in countless pawnshops and display cases, what if this was the greatest Double Dragon game of them all? What if it had just simply slipped under my radar after I had lost interest in the series? What if? I admit, they kind of lost me when they made Double Dragon 3 one of the hardest games on planet Earth, but seeing a copy of Double Dragon 5 for Genesis in my local used game store a couple months ago, I suddenly had a flicker of hope. So many of my favorite video game-related childhood memories are tied to the Double Dragon series. I remember one of my birthday parties (ninth, maybe?) when Double Dragon 2 was brand new, and my Dad rented it for us at the good old Acme Video. When I was a kid I loved Double Dragon 1 & 2. Now, I had never played this game until a couple of months ago.
