Yi Ar Kung Fu will be going 40 years old this April 22. I couldn't help but think of younger me, wondering if the game ever ended. Spoilers: It was pretty much another of those endless games! It was all about getting the highest score possible. It was beating five opponents, the fifth is defeated, the gong is beaten, and you PLAY ALL OVER FROM THE BEGINNING with higher difficulty!
So yeah, I tried doing A LOT of crazy stuff over here. I tried to unleash a Fireball -- never mind this game was by KONAMI! I would pretend that the protagonist Lee was the Great Kung Lao -- fighting five challengers in the Mortal Kombat tournament. Of course, that wasn't the case. I remember reaching up to Level 15 -- all before I got my high score!
Either way, Yi Ar Kung Fu was another game that I enjoyed as a child. However, I got really spoiled by the PSX up to the PS4. The hit boxes in Yi Ar Kung Fu are expected to be not that good. Come on, it's a NES game! NES games were supposed to be THAT DIFFICULT. I also blame technical limitations!
Anyway, what are your memories of playing this game?
