Good day Steemian and welcome, this is more than just a price update on the Steem cryptocurrency for 26/10/2025, under the hood it's been a 9 year project.
We have been posting here since almost the very beginning of Steemit.com back in 2016, I have attended many Steem official events and represented Steem at smaller ones.

There as never been a single power-down made on this account for all those active years, our mission is to retain and rise the price of Steem for the benefit of us all. We do this by not only holding STEEM but by also buying into STEEM from time to time. Doing such things rises the price of STEEM meaning your investment goes up in value and so does your earned rewards.

Casting your upvote here keeps Steem locked to raise it's value for us all. We also try to use some of that Steem to buy even more, we are a top 300 Steem investor. That is not to brag but simply proof of work.

✅ And as continued proof that we work towards getting more money into Steem on Oct 5th, 2025 we reached a total of 74.000 Steem Power✔

So if you tire of addictively looking at the charts every few minutes, then STOP! Instead just relax and look here for the average STEEM price for your daily plan or strategy.

Hiruko from the NES game Double Dragon 3 is I think scary enough to make an appearance for the spooky season.

Oct 2025- Hello Steem supporters, made it for another day and hopefully more if the body continues the fight. I missed another great event day with friends because of this stupid condition which is just depressing. Adding to that depression it's day 6 and I'm not seeing or feeling any improvement starting the day. The continued chest pains and head pressure makes this life miserable. But with the extra free time today I guess I had the opportunity to play a old NES game called Double Dragon 3 The Sacred Stones. Hmm or is it "The Rosetta Stone" well this mostly depends in what part of the world you are in but it's the same game basically. The first thing I noticed about this game was the title screen and it's great music, this is normally already a good sign of something good. You can hang around on the tittle screen all to like the music seems to continue endlessly and there are no preview demos to interrupt it. Starting the game there are basically no options menu, however there are 3 things you can do. Firstly you can start a single player game, the other option is to play the same game in multiplayer, or they have a 3rd option where you can play the entire game but you can actually cause damage to your friend. This can either be on purpose or accidentally, essentially this can create 2 game modes, 1 it's a more difficult version of multiplayer, or you can use this to battle your friend in a kind of VS mode on the first screen. So it's decent in giving you at least a few things you can do. Before we continue I would like to mention where I stand with the past Double Dragon games. For the first game it was kind of fun but it didn't have enough to save it from being binned. For the 2nd game it brought in the needed fun and variety, the story was a little darker than usual and I think it generally played better if you put your mind to it, very challenging but more fair compared to the first game.

So moving on to Double Dragon 3 and picking the single player mode we thankfully have some story to get through to begin with. The story continues 1 year after the events of the previous game and Marion the girlfriend of the main character that we control vanished. Strangely a old lady "and might I add scary lady" called Hiruko appears has a friend to inform our hero that she heard of the disappearance. The old lady Hiruko claims that in order to have Marion returned safely that the enemies request first the sacred power stones which we must travel around the world to bring to them. I must say that right from the start I don't trust Hiruko, she is either working for the bad guys or wants the stones for herself, maybe the stones would turn her young again or something but I could be wrong. So starting the game what is Double Dragon 3? Well if you played the previous Double Dragon games it's more of the same, but it's basically what I would describe as a side scrolling 2D fighting game. There are a decent amount of moves here expected from a NES game, you can punch, kick, jump, jump kick, whirlwind jump kick, put enemies into a head lock and even back throw them.

But like many and previous games of this nature the controls can be difficult. This problem is one of the biggest downfalls of this game and others like it. The game also does a poor job of easing you in, soon as you start the game you are thrown enemies at you which you must either defeat or die. And if you think it's going to get any easier after the first screen or have something explained to you soon.. nope. And that is probably the biggest problem with this game, not the lack of instructions but it's difficulty. Soon as you get to the next screen enemies will be coming in fast and taking you down real quick if you don't know what your doing. And this is incredibly unfair, I can only imagine the disappointment of many kids receiving this game. Being stuck on the first two screens of a game is going to frustrate many. To make things even worse the game gives you only "one life" to beat the whole dam thing or start from the very beginning. There are definitely a lot of things they could of done to make this game better, strangely they could of applied more of what they had in Double Dragon 2. It's often been said that Double Dragon 2 was the peak of the series on the NES, and yes playing Double Dragon 3 I can see why. Shame really because the graphics are nice, still I prefer Double Dragon 2 graphics over the third instalment, but the music here is also ok.

It's a shame really this game and others similar to it suffer from what I feel is the same problem, there are enough moves and options here to enjoy the game, but sadly if you want to progress in the game your mostly best to stick to using one move and nothing else or risky death, and I feel this ruins it's potential. You can also try and use walls to your advantage, this is because the enemies mostly always have the same annoying strategy of hitting you from both side, and like this you will quickly die. And so being close to a wall can help prevent this from happening so easily. What I do like is the continued use of pick-up weapons but they are more fun in other versions and games so again a real shame. However in this third instalment you do get to play as other characters once you beat them. They are reasonably well balanced, like you get a character later who is much slower than the rest but take note he's punches are so much stronger. It seems many players think this particular slow character is useless but that's not actually the case. There is another character later but I won't spoil things any further but I do want to mention that by switching between them "I guess you could say" it's almost like having a extra life. Amazingly you don't get a single extra life in this name, not even a heal, but thankfully starting each new level you have a full health bar, but it's just not enough. And so in this state it seems this game will be landing in the bin, if you like a Double Dragon game I would say stick with or get the 2nd game. Hope you all have a good day or night and I will hopefully see you on the next Steemit post.
