"They don't make 'em like they used to!" croaks some dreadful sketch show character. Perhaps their name is Harold, or Maude. Each episode, they visit a shop - a china shop, a car showroom, an ironmonger, etc. - and forcefully 'test' products in ways that ultimately trash the whole place. Shelves fall, cabinets collapse, windows break, and the teapots/cars/hammers lie in pieces. After Maude (or Harold) is shoved out the door, they sigh to the camera and croak: "They don't make 'em like they used to!" This awful joke dies over eighteen episodes.
The Double Dragon gang very much do make 'em like they used to. Double Dragon 4 [official site] launched yesterday and the beat 'em up looks oh so very 1988.
