Double Dragon brought cooperative street brawling to arcades in 1987 and helped define the side-scrolling beat-'em-up boom that followed. Meanwhile, the mechanics tell a second story: Recovery frames create commitment. A powerful move is interesting because the opponent gets a chance to answer if it misses. A parry is the game politely asking whether you would like to bet everything on one moment.

Curiosity break

Boss fights often break the ordinary rules of an action game. The oversized health bar, unusual arena and new attack patterns tell the player: everything you learned is about to be examined. Another tiny history lesson: Invincibility frames are tiny periods during an animation when a character cannot be hit. They make dodges feel crisp even when the graphics show danger passing extremely close.
