Kung Fu
(3.5)

1985
Kung-Fu Master, known as Spartan X[a] in Japan, is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game developed by Irem as an arcade game in 1984, and distributed by Data East in North America. Designed by Takashi Nishiyama, the game was based on Hong Kong martial arts films. It is loosely adapted from the Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung film Wheels on Meals (1984), called Spartan X in Japan, with the protagonist Thomas named after Jackie Chan's character in the film. The game is also heavily inspired by the Bruce Lee film Game of Death (1972), which was the basis for the game's concept. Nishiyama, who had previously designed the side-scrolling shooter Moon Patrol (1982), combined fighting elements with a shoot 'em up gameplay rhythm. Irem and Data East exported the game to the West without the Spartan X license.

I had this on my Commodore 64 and it was easily one of my most played games. It's so simple to play but really difficult to master, as the later levels get difficult. Great music too!

This game is so much fun. Interesting enemy designs, but repetitive. Still though, you can easily pop this bad boy in and have a good time.
