This is an improvement.	Electric_Lizard	2023-03-23	Version 1.3
As I have experienced this hack firsthand, rather than "judging by screenshots", I am leaving a positive review. The hack does make this infamous version of Double Dragon II look slightly better. Basically, the original version has this sort of dark haze all over the screen, which diminishes what little detail exists in the backgrounds and sprites. With this hack, the game now looks as good as an early Sega Master System game, making it a more tolerable experience to play. In an earlier attempt to review this I stated that the screenshots might cause one to think the hack is not an improvement, but that it actually is an improvement. This was not a criticism against the author of the hack, but a note to others that they should try the hack despite the screenshots.
