Literally means 'one, two, kung fu'.

Oolong.

Fan.

Buchu.

Chain.

Great memories.

Bought it on the Switch the other week. Played for one second. Total shit.

That's the "ugh, choose another standard retro font" font.

It's not a game that's aged very well but it's fine for a quick session. I always preferred Yie Ar Kung Fu 2 on the MSX but I seem to be alone in this opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-X6ElsXKHI

The king of all old karate games is Kung Fu Master. Classic music, still addictive to this day, and the distinctive sound effects immediately whisk me back to the arcades on the Isle of Man in the 80s.

Yesssssss. I can hear the music instantly when I watch that gif. I played it at Arcade Club last year. Still really playable and fun.

IK+ is clearly the best. Pressing T to drop their trousers never, ever loses its novelty.

Preferred the original IK. Don't feel the extra player added anything and the music wasn't as good (C64).
Yie Ar Kung Fu was cool on the c64 as well. The loading music was great, if I remember correctly.
There was also Way of the Exploding Fist which was the first of the Karate Champ-style games for 8-bit computers but that had an exploit which made it easy to win by spamming one move (low kick, I think). Fist 2 was panned by the magazines but I liked it, it had a weird atmosphere and soundtrack.

Still have traumatic memories of being this far from completing Fist 2 on the Speccy when a power cut ruined my hopes and dreams.

Was probably the first thing I downloaded for MAME so I could finally get past Tonfun without spending all my pocket money. I did, and a 20-year wait was over.
