Atari ST Cracktro [025] Bastards International from BAT II

I will not have too many stories to write for 'CrackTros' (Demo screens that appeared as introductions to cracked video games) as I did not have very many of these back in the day.  I am mainly recording these now because they are art, and need to be preserved.  I will also attempt to transcribe the scroll text, which will be posted in a companion blog entry linked above.

Title Screen

NOTE: A trainer was used for making this capture.

Having played the original Double Dragon, I decided to continue with the series.  The Double Dragon sequel is an upgrade in many areas, but still a ways off from a great arcade port.
