You can gain unlimited lives in Double Dragon by performing a specific maneuver during a two-player game on the NES version of the game. This trick involves precise timing at a crucial point in gameplay.
Steps to Acquire Unlimited Lives
To successfully activate the unlimited lives cheat, follow these instructions carefully:
-
Step 1: Start a Two-Player Game
Begin a new game in the 2-player mode. This cheat specifically requires two players to be active. -
Step 2: Reach Critical Credit Count
Continue playing until your remaining credit count drops to a single credit. This is a vital prerequisite for the cheat to work. -
Step 3: Wait for Continue Prompt
After your credit count reaches one, wait for the "continue" message to appear simultaneously on both players' screens. This indicates the precise moment for the next action. -
Step 4: Simultaneous Button Press
Once the "continue" message is visible on both screens, simultaneously press the Fire button on both joysticks. The timing must be exact for both players.
By executing these steps correctly, you should activate the unlimited lives feature, allowing you to continue your fight against the Black Warriors without worrying about running out of lives.
