One of the pioneering titles behind the co-op beat ‘em all genre, Double Dragon, is making its iOS debut via a three-dollar app (€2,69) which includes all three installments of the game, plus optimizations for mobile play.

The Double Dragon Trilogy is described as “a compilation specially optimized for mobiles and which includes all three installments of the beloved arcade series: Double Dragon, Double Dragon 2: The Revenge, and Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone.”

People who played this in the arcades or at home on their 8-bit consoles may feel a bit strange tapping a touch-screen instead of mashing a physical button that sometimes has to withstand even a punch or two, but if the price thrills you, I won’t judge. Double Dragon is right up there with Contra and various NES classics.

If you fancy, download Double Dragon Trilogy now on any iDevice with iOS 5 installed. The game will add gamepad support soon, according to the developers. At the rate these ancient ports are rolling out, I assume 2014 will land us games made in the punched card era.
