I'm a little shocked.. and also not shocked at all. You know, this being Double Dragon 3. Jimmy and Bimmy and all.

It wasn't that hard to find, I am amazed that no one has noticed this before. From the response this article has been getting, it is one of those secrets "hidden in plain sight" moments.

I am investigating doing more articles like this (like the endless runner, it didn't start with mobile either).

I don't have the episode number but this story made The Retro League recently.

Thanks, CF. I saw the show notes stating this was covered recently but I can't get the show to play on the available devices I have right now (TCR 119 and most of the last 30 TRL episodes are like that). Weird. Oh well, hopefully it was viewed in a positive light since it has gotten quite a bit of interest from other segments of gaming so far.
