Back in the days, CPC version was impressive with coloured GFX, good playability, an unforgettable title music, as always with Ocean games on CPC. I really like the Amiga version with its big sprites, solid GFX for 1989 and music with SFX. If you play in 60hz, game is faster and there isn't slowdown anymore if you play on an accelerated Amiga too. Not a bad conversion for a game that was not very good at all even in its original arcade release.
@VGMrawk Now I realize that you are the author of a guitar cover of Double Dragon that I have listened to many many times, hahah. I love it! It is an honor that you have left a comment here.
@@retrosutra thanks! I never knew there were so many version of the games I grew up with! its like a parallel universe, except theyre in the same universe. keep up the great work & thanks for checking out my channel!
Around late 80s early 90s I was playing this on the amstrad cpc when the game crashed and some swear words came up😂 this is totaly true, I'm guessing some programmer was having a joke. Nobody has ever believed me, has anyone else experienced this.
@@retrosutra I think it was the level on top of the truck, im in my top 40s now and I cant remember if the screen just froze or if it went onto another screen and said f#*k off ya b**##*d😂. Nobody has ever believed me and when I was giving my mate the game back I said to him that he had done done something to it and he didn't have a clue what I was on about, looking back he couldn't have, we where only kids but it's like seeing a UFO and nobody believes me😅 I wish I could find someone else who this happened to, one of life's mysterys. Don't suppose you could ask anyone could you.
This one fared pretty well on the Amstrad. It was actually the last game I bought for it before switching to the Atari ST, and the Atari ST version looked better but played worse. That Apple II version tho.
These really are great conversions. The graphics especially don’t look like vomit on the Amstrad. They’re not a blurry mess on c64 and they took the brave step of not bordering off the viewport on Amiga and st. And it looks like the used blobs not sprites on Amiga so everything looks big. Congrats to the teams who converted. What else did they convert?
Tremendo juegazo! Por mi zona no sólo había una máquina, había dos!!! Jugaba tambien en el spectrum y luego me dejaron el pack "a toda máquina" para el amstrad y tambien le eché unas buenas horas. El puño de fuego era una tontería en las conversiones, aunque he de decir que lo recordaba más espectacular en la máquina, como que los pro lo usaban para cargarse al chichiguagua (ese que se multiplicaba en el nivel de las alcantarillas) y que salia un chorro de energía. Cosas de los recuerdos de la infancia.
Me alegro de haber acertado con el juego. Éste junto con otros Arcades de Data East, como Robocop y Sly Spy, supongo que no podían faltar en los salones recreativos de la época. Recuerdo haber visto ese pack "A Toda Máquina" en las tiendas xDDD, pero la verdad es que sólo lo jugué en su versión Arcade. Por cierto, creo que jamás llegué a pasar del tercer nivel.
Sí, exagerando un poquito yo creo que realmente no hubo un port decente decente salvo ese, jajaja. Los de Amiga y Atari ST se acercaban más a nivel gráfico pero en jugabilidad el de NES me convence mucho más.
It's really, REALLY bad... you have to hit the spacebar to pick up weapons rather than just duck down and hit the button for example, the frame rate is choppy, but worse of all, no jokes, they removed the ability to do the flying kick and jump diagonally.. so you literally cannot jump over spikes, etc. You have to platform hop to do it. It's a terrible port.. Amiga Power gave it 4 percent out of 100 back in the day LOLOL. In still? Yeah, by far the most impressive home version, looking very much like the arcade. Sadly, the Amiga could have done a wonderful port of this, and they could have added options for 2 button controls, as Amiga accepts 2 different button inputs if the game is programmed with that option (Turrican for example). Cheers!
As a matter of fact, the MSX version is the ZX Spectrum game... recompiled to run on a ZX Spectrum emulator for MSX. Using this technique, a ZX Spectrum game could be used to create an MSX one in less than 48 hours, which provided great benefits to the companies that discovered the trick and great disappointment to MSX users who bought these games.
Una recreativa muy divertida, sobre todo a dos jugadores. De las versiones domésticas solo tuve la de Atari ST, que tenía buenos gráficos, muy parecidos a los del arcade, y buena música. Pero era muy lenta. Lentísima. Y tenía un problema común a todos los sistemas: un solo botón de disparo, lo que hacía el salto bastante complicado.
La verdad es que la vi tan lenta que al principio pensaba que era algún problema de configuración de la máquina, pero tras mirar algunos vídeos descubrí sorprendido que no...
Remember playing this and losing all my lifes. I left the tape running and it loaded in the next level and gave me all my lifes back.That was on the C64 version. Also had this on Amiga and Atari ST. Its not a good game on any system. great video tho as always. Thanks.
@@retrosutra I have been collecting games and consoles since i was 14 (i am now 46). i never sold any of my child hood games or consoles and computers. I have a dedicated games room with 52 consoles and computers set up ready to go. I have over 9000 physical games for these systems that i have, most are cib. I love the older systems especially Atari Ste Amiga 1200 C64 Spectrum master system and Atari 2600. Watching your videos brings a lot of nostalgia for me. I retired when i was 40, so i got plenty of time to enjoy my collection. My brother comes around once a couple of weeks and we get drunk while playing retro games. Next week we are having a froggerthon. Were going to play every version of frogger that i have.
@BAZFANSHOTHITS Wow, what an impressive collection! I want it! Mine is very modest compared to yours. Like you, I don't sell my childhood games. It would be like selling a part of me. I loved the plan with your brother, hahah.
Yo lo tuve en nes y era un buen juego recuerdo que iba con un amigo a su casa a jugar nes y en las maquinas de a lado de su casa tenían la de las tortugas ninja II y podíamos pedir prestado el cassette y funcionaban osea prestábamos mi bad dudes de nes por el de tortugas ninja II que tenían en la maquina y funcionaban perfectamente no se que tipo de arcade era pero funcionaban perfectamente :O
Thanks for doing this comparison: I didn't even know about the DOS, Apple II and MSX releases. Some particularly lazy programming on the Amiga and ST versions - Karnov's legs barely even animate when he walks towards you, he practically glides along! All things considered, the Spectrum version is quite admirable and it's a shame that the MSX just received a Spectrum port-over.
Recuerdo que un amigo jugaba mucho esta máquina saliendo de la secundaria y a mi no me llamaba la atencion yo prefería jugar final fight, pero después de un tiempo conseguimos el cartucho para NES y ahí fue cuando me di cuenta que era un gran juego, que ponía a prueba tu habilidad y realmente disfrutabas cada golpe dándote una sensación de movimientos precisos para poder avanzar, vamos, como de artes marciales! Coincido en qué la versión para NES era buenísima. Buen video Bro saludos.
Gracias por tu comentario @andreszx2. A mí creo que también me llamaba más Final Fight, pero, ¿sabes qué? Hoy en día no sé por qué motivo me da una pereza enorme jugar al Final Fight y en cambio a éste no, jaja. Para mí, la conversión de NES es la más lograda de todas las que hay.

"You were a bad enough dude to showcase every version of this game! Now let's go grab a burger. Ha ha ha!"
Hell yeah, I want a burger!
Used to play this at the Skating rink all the time as a kid. Fond memories.
C64 and Amiga had best versions to me.

It was a good 8bit system just hampered all the while with direct spectrum ports , but when devs put the time in had some great looking games .
"...I'M BAD!"
But... Are you bad enough?

Very nice. I try and guess the machine now, from the style. I am impressed with the 64 graphics here.

Commodore 64 always knew how to compose great music in my opinion
You mean composers on C64. Machines don't compose music themselves.
Tremendo juegazo!

Atari ST and PC DOS are switched (just the texts beside the time code in the description)
Oops thank you!
@@retrosutra no problem :) , was just surprised when clicking on AtariST the game looked terible :D , that's where I noticed.

Is the reason ST version is that slow because they adapted it from the Amiga version?
It's simply because the ST is weak :/

The Amiga is the best version despite some loading, the Atari St should be called Bad dudes vs WormNinja. The NES Version disappointed.
