A truly preserved and modern version of this game would mean online play with rollback netcode and all of the guest characters, but rollback will be a challenge to implement, and Nintendo won't play nice and allow Link to be on other platforms. Still, it would be great to see the other two characters and maybe a model swap for Link. Even if there's no rollback, the offline version of the game deserves to be preserved on PC too. This was THE fighting game that everyone in my middle school and high school was playing when they weren't playing Melee. It's easy to learn and difficult to master, and the series really perfected most of what made it great all the way back with this second entry.

If GOG is going to add another 1v1 fighting game it should be this one, because it has tons of content and as far as I can remember it was well balanced. mind you there is character creation, and the OG game didn't have online multiplayer hence I don't know firsthand what it was like but other than that it is gorgeous in its visuals and soundtrack!

Double Dragon II: The Revenge
Double Dragon II: The RevengeThe original arcade version of "Double Dragon II" is essentially an improved version of the first game. The biggest change in the game's controls are in the replacement of the original's punch and kick buttons with two directional-based attack buttons (Left Attack and Right Attack) similar to Renegade. Pressing the attack button of the player's current direction will do a standard series of punches, while pressing the opposite attack button will perform a back kick. A few new moves are added as well, including a Hurricane Kick. Like in the original game, the arcade version of Double Dragon II is divided into four missions: a heliport, a lumber storehouse, a wheat field, and the new hideout of the boss. Each stage has its own boss character with his own theme. After defeating Willy (the final boss from the original game) in the fourth stage, the player will confront a double of their own character for the game's final battle. If two players reach the end together, then both will each to have to face their own clone for the final battle.
