Say Hi to Colin on PS3!

It’s public now. DCRU Colin has a Playstation 3! Cards posted a video yesterday announcing the news. I had a few games with them the other night but it went on until about 2am so I unfortunately won’t be doing that too often. Great guys to play with though.

The utterly fantastic intro on the commentary above was created by David and edited by Colin. Very nice work I’m sure you’ll agree!

PS. I wondered if anyone had noticed Colin playing in this game posted by David, and he was noticed but kept quiet about it. Best kept secret?

What’s Double Dragon?

It was with amazement I read that question on the hupit forum a while back.

What? You’ve never heard of Double Dragon? Arcade beat ’em up from the late 80’s?

Double Dragon was only one of the most anticipated arcade conversions of 1989. A two player beat ’em up, heroes (Billy and Jimmy Lee) fighting against hoards of baddies to rescue Billy’s girlfriend.

Exciting, heady stuff!

Of course, when it finally hit the C64 it was a less than stellar conversion. All the moves were in there but there was this annoying gap in the torso of each character. The programmers even added a note in the game manual about it!
