Jerky scrolling and micro-transactions meant Double Dragon 3 wasn't exactly a great game when it hit the arcades. I still remember being utterly bemused by the fact the game expected players to sink extra money in order to buy special moves and upgrades.

Despite the fact it was a poor follow-up to the first two games, it still received conversions to most home computers and consoles of the day, and the Amiga version manages to stick reasonably closely to the coin-op version. It's by no means a stellar game, but it actually manages to improve on the original by implementing smooth character and background scrolling, and the artwork is extremely close to the arcade version.

For those wondering, the new characters (e.g. Sunny) are in the game, but the collision detection with those sprites and the range of their attacks are far worse than Billy, so I made sure not to lose him.
