Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone is a 1991 arcade beat-'em-up by Technos; it was ported by Software Creations to the Sega Mega Drive and published in 1992/1993 by Flying Edge. Although the boxart refers to the game as Double Dragon 3: The Arcade Game, the title screen remains the same as the arcade version.

Gameplay

The purpose of the game is to collect three "Rosetta Stones" in order to face off with an adversary in Egypt. The Lee brothers and other characters must travel the world to reach this objective. A punches, B jumps, C kicks. Besides the ability to run by double tapping in a direction additional moves can be bought in a in-game store. The in-game store, which can be entered through a door in certain parts of a level, offers extra moves, extra characters, agility, energy, and weapons for purchase with coins. The extra characters only appear when the main character presently being used is killed. Extra characters include the Urquidez brothers, the Chin brothers, and the Oyama brothers.

Levels

There are five levels available. This includes America, China, Japan, Italy, and Egypt.

Arcade Version Differences

Graphics are improved though lacking the amount of colors of the arcade version. Character animation is increased. Added animation in some cutscenes. Some voice samples are missing. Credits/Coins can be earned through gameplay. Control is somewhat improved and movement is sped up slightly. Three player mode is gone and the max simultaneous players is two now.
