Yie Ar Kung-Fu NES gameplay (NES Classics)

Yie Ar Kung-Fu (イー・アル・カンフー Ī Aru Kanfū) is a 1985 fighting game developed and published by Konami. It is considered to be the basis for modern fighting games. Yie Ar Kung-Fu (Chinese: 一二功夫; pinyin: yī èr gōngfū; literally: "One Two Kung Fu") features the protagonist Oolong (Chinese: 烏龍; pinyin: Wūlóng, Japanese: ウーロン Ūron; see oolong), controlled by the player. Oolong must fight all the martial arts masters given by the game (11 in the arcade version; five to 13 in the home ports) unarmed to win the title of "Grand Master" and honor the memory of his father. On his side is a variety of punch and kick blows reachable by combining the joystick with one of the buttons (punch or kick). He also has the greatest jumping ability of all the game's fighters, with the exception of "Blues". The player faces a variety of opponents, each with a unique appearance and fighting style. The player can perform up to 16 different moves,[6] using a combination of buttons and joystick movements while standing, crouching or jumping. Moves are thrown at high, middle, and low levels. Regardless of the move that defeated them, male characters (save Feedle) always fall unconscious lying on their backs with their legs apart (players flail their feet), and female characters always fall demurely lying on their sides. Feedle disappears. There are only two female fighters, and the rest are male. When a player gains an extra life, the word "xiè xiè" (Mandarin for "thank you") is heard. The NES port has many differences from its arcade counterpart. The hero is called Lee and faces only five opponents: Wang: Armed with a pole. Unlike Pole, he doesn't use his pole to gain momentum. Tao: Throws small fireballs in the same way as Star. Chen: This port's version of Chain. After Chen's defeat, there is a bonus round where the hero must hit objects thrown at him to score points. Lang: This port's version of Star, but with quicker shots and moves. Wu/Mu: Called Wu in the MSX and Mu in the NES, he is similar to Buchu (though Mu is white and seems bearded, while Buchu is black and has a shaven face). Once he is defeated, the challenge starts again with Wang. This was one of the games that I really played a lot with my friends back in the 90s (btw. I was terrible at it then and now :P ) Game score: 10
