I was wondering what all your thoughts are on the best Double Dragon iteration in OpenBOR. I mean the hardest with the most weapons allowed, etc
Thanks

Double Dragon Gaiden and Double Dragon Remix.
I still miss a mod of Super Double Dragon from Snes

Double Dragon Reloaded Alternate by magggas, it's the only DD pak I have seen that implements the mechanics of the original arcade game properly. That includes enemies that pick up and use weapons, distinct punch and kick buttons, and platforming.
I have also tried DD Gaiden, Return of the DD and The Dragon Stone. I didn't like them very much, some use too many buttons or miss features that the original game had, or the levels are too boring... most OpenBOR levels I have seen follow the Final Fight template of having a flat horizontal strip with no variety of terrain. Compare that to DD arcade, which has ladders, mesh, conveyor belts, stacks of I-beams and even a combine harvester.
I think principally the reason for this is that Final Fight became the template for most beat'em ups that followed it. Another is that interesting stages are a lot harder to design and bug fix. Teaching the AI how to use such terrain must be quite complex too, I imagine.

I think it's Streets of Rage 2 instead of Final Fight
I agree with you on these ones. Most modders here focus more on move set and other features than level design and terrain design
As for teaching the AI, it's not that hard from my experience. Modders could use traps or static enemies to be placed in hard terrains instead of regular enemies

@marco75, Thank you very much for your words man! I'm really glad you appreciate my work on my DD game! I also agree with the rest you said about level/terrain design. I wish to see that on more games as well but it requires a lot more work than the most people are bother, sadly 
I have played an older version of this and to be honest, while i liked the look and the ideas on it, i found the gameplay horrible. Now on newer videos like this i see that he did a lot of good progress and it looks good again. The thing is, i hope he will release it some day and it will be as much playable as good it looks ???
