Kung-Fu Master [Playthrough/LongPlay]
Developer/Publisher: Irem
Platform: Arcade
Release Date: 1984
Kung-Fu Master, known as Spartan X (スパルタンX) in Japan, is a 1984 beat 'em up game developed and published by Irem for arcades. It was distributed by Data East in North America. Designed by Takashi Nishiyama, the game was based on Hong Kong martial arts films. It is a loose adaptation of the Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao 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 recently played an original arcade cabinet for the first time and found the controls pretty stiff compared to the NES version. Your ability to attack both sides when surrounded is lightning fast.

I like the side Arcade graphic of the Kung-Fu master kicking an assholes face. With no emotion on K F Master's face.

Was good for 1984 arcade game, after game if death and before vigilante, similar to both.

[@edwardgaines6561]

Oh yeah, you saved Madonna in Vigilante!

[@jordanbyrd9821]

Good times

[@YAWARA2024]

スパルタン要素は名前だけ！ゲームは死亡遊戯を参考に作られた。

[@Launchpad05]

[@TkBloch]

0:03 what up?!

[@danielchan5272]

Very difficult because no HP recovery items.🤣

[@ORBPHIL]

I always hated the 3rd floor and 4th floor bosses.

[@chrissteiger4199]

Man they could at least change the music. Same dumb track the entire time.

[@GatsbyDen041]

This was the case for most games of the time due to memory constraints

거기는 스쳐도 ㅅㅁ각 ㄷㄷㄷ 😅😅😅
