Double Dragon '95
Developed during the production of the film, Double Dragon '95 was the tie-in game and released on the arcade and multiple platforms. The game features a total of fourteen fighters, nine of whom are from the Double Dragon franchise (Billy Lee, Jimmy Lee, Marian Delario, Willy Mackey, Abobo, Duke, Burnov, Linda Lash and Chin Taimei) with five original characters (Patrick Dalton, Amon Yagyu, Cheng-Fu, Eddie and Rebecca Brielle)
The gameplay draws heavily from SNK's Fatal Fury franchise and sold well enough to not only stop Technos' bankruptcy but also lined SNK's pockets as well. The game would see a sequel in 1997, Double Dragon '97: Rage of the Dragons (a game released in 2002 OTL and meant to be a sequel, but got repurposed when the developers couldn't get the license. I'll talk about that one later.)
