About Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone

Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone concludes the trilogy with brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee. After martial arts training, they encounter a fortune teller who warns of a powerful threat in Egypt and mentions the potential aid of the Rosetta Stones.

The game introduces shops where players can purchase various aids, including power-ups that enlarge the characters to increase their damage and attack range. Additional purchasable items include extra lives and other combat enhancements. The visual presentation shifts from a cartoon style to more realistically proportioned character sprites.
