Yie Ar Kung-Fu (version I)

Yie Ar Kung-Fu is an action-packed two-player fighting game where you control Oolong and battle through eleven martial arts masters to avenge his father’s death and claim the title of Grand Master. Each opponent presents a unique challenge, ranging from a powerful sumo wrestler to skilled fighters wielding nunchaku, swords, or throwing stars. Players utilize an eight-way joystick and two buttons to execute sixteen different moves – punches and kicks delivered at high, mid, and low levels – while strategically maneuvering around the screen to avoid being cornered. Matches unfold quickly within vibrant environments like a cascading waterfall and ornate pagoda, demanding constant movement and precise timing. Defeating opponents isn't simply about brute force; understanding their individual attack patterns and exploiting weaknesses is key to victory. A health bar visually represents Oolong’s remaining energy, emphasizing the importance of avoiding damage while scoring points through successful strikes. The game features a cyclical progression – after defeating all eleven masters, the challenge begins anew, offering replayability for players seeking mastery over this classic versus fighter. Scoring is determined by move complexity, and bonus points are awarded for maintaining health and completing stages without taking damage; skillful play can lead to extra lives.
