Before you had your Golden Axe, your Final Fight, and your Streets of Rage there were a pair of Dragons—Double Dragons you might say. Ones that ruled the arcade. Things are different now and it’s been far too long since Billy and Jimmy Lee got a new title in the series. Fortunately, Secret Base has […]
