Yie Ar Kung-Fu (Arcade / 1984) 4K 60FPS

[@DanielNunes-p3j]

The game of my childhood. Those were the times....

[@davidmorrison4416]

INDEED!

[@RickyGohan]

The sound track took me back to when I was 10 yrs old when me n my friends would go to the arcade all the time.the best moves is the split poke attack.

[@scottfitzpatrick1939]

This game was so ahead of its time

[@DavidJ-ty5jm]

IKR 😎🤟

[@TheEthNick]

I LOVED this time. Discovering games. All the sounds after that never ending load time was like a fun park for me. The original Psycho Crusher move 😂

[@OGRCFanatic]

Man I remember this game. Takes me back to the arcades as a kid. I still remember how goofy we thought the heroes name was, oolong 🤣🤣🤣

[@marknewton3765]

Named after a blend of tea called Oolong....

[@tomkurowski8443]

This is pretty cool for 1984. I've never seen this game before. It surely was the inspiration for modern day fighting games...

[@SarahNGeti]

Omg 😲 😱 i never could remember the name of this!! I played it as a kid and it was my favorite 😍 i rode my bicycle to 7-11 to play it in the 80s. Thank you for this video!

[@Angelsilhouette]

Think of it as "One Two Kung Fu" Yie means One, Ar means Two. (1-10 translates as Yie, Ar, San, Si, Oo, Liu, Jie, Ba, Jiu, Shi in Mandarin.)

[@snafuthegreat]

Fun Fact: Star and Fan are the first female fighters in fighting game history, but a certain Chinese ex-ICPO officer is the most famous.

[@oj-2258]

There was a party store in the hood that had this game, we would play it all the time.

[@yellowveedub]

I miss these games from the 80s. Spent lots of time in arcades im the 80s

[@damo1329]

naa the games are better now

[@ktoescos]

@@damo1329 Without the OLD you wouldn't have the new. RESPECT the architect's of the past.

[@damo1329]

@@ktoescos I respect them, I played in the arcades as a kid, my childhood was in the 80s, but saying what the comment in this thread said before they changed it, that the games of before were better than those of now, was a lack of respect to the entire video game industry, that's why I answered like that.

[@ktoescos]

@@damo1329 👌👍

[@Mel-bl1tm]

great childhood memories with this one

[@smokeythecat8967]

This isn't what the game looked like when playing the Arcade game. I plunked so many quarters into that machine, it was great action for an early fighting game with so many fighting styles for its time.

[@ROGUE-1507CA]

Holy shit, man if this don’t take me back to my childhood…I spent a lot of time at the arcades in the 80’s…this was on of my favorites 🤘

[@basmatine]

I look back in embarrassment now, my mom feeding me tokens, me sucking at the game. We were poor but it was my birthday and we were at Major Magic’s. I later got good at the game, but by then I found my own tokens. I miss her now, she couldn’t get us things other kids had but little things like my birthday at Major Magic’s, even though she couldn’t really afford it- I won’t forget. I did get to show her I owned Bosconian, when you got high score it lit up like Christmas and practically broadcasted it throughout the arcade.

[@AimanCool440]

This game is endless. No ending.

[@GasFayce]

Could never get past stage 4, then I would rage quit! Loved this game anyway! I was able to land a groin shot on stage one and the eyes would bug out!

[@anisdesai4692]

I know pole was a basterd especially his repeated pole hits.

[@ericblue5436]

I just had to do leg sweeps on Pole and hope that I get lucky.

[@jeffloeb9611]

I could never get past Fan. In hindsight, jumping over all of tye flying fans is definitely easier than trying to kick and punch them all like I used to try and do. Glad I got to finally see all of the characters.

[@jermainelong1843]

I still remember the moment I finally beat Tonfun LOL! This used to be in the newsagent around the corner from my house in South London circa 1985.

[@Yashtcm]

Tonfun? I bet you had a TON OF FUN! lawlawalwalwalawalwal

[@TallSilentGuy]

0:10 This Buchu guy was doing Psycho Crusher 5 years before we saw M. Bison doing it.

[@alistairjoubert4903]

Childhood memories right here... I still remember how to get Perfect at all opponents except Blues.... the memories

[@residentrump3271]

Loved this game back in the day! I have an arcade compilation for the PS1 with this game on it 👍🏿

[@Uncle_O_Official]

Oh My Gracious! Talk about simpler times with outstanding simpler games! This was one of the most "have to play" games while out at Pizza Hut (not "The Hut" of today, as y'all know it) or Shakey's. We used to hit these spots or the main Arcades (another thing of the past) just for this game and a few others. And yes, I am telling my age. I was so glad when PS5 put it out as Arcade Classics for purchasing. Oh yeah, I just had to cop. Nostalgia at it's greatest!

[@salamathesusatbiyernesulit2161]

I still have this cabinet among other games.

[@George_Avgeris]

I ve seen some more of your videos .. great skills dude

[@Angelsilhouette]

I remember One Two Kung Fu from my dad's friend's video arcade. When I would visit, he would give me a handful of quarters that I wasted on this game and I was too young to really understand how it was played. That and it wasn't really obvious to my little kid brain how it was played.

[@illustreightr2630]

Yie Ar the world… Yie Ar the children…

[@rayleon1197]

😂

[@vicsage83]

I love how the background in the first few stages is made to look like a Japanese watercolor painting

[@jammabubbly522]

Love this game when I was a kid👍

[@blightedgrounds]

Came for the thumbnail Stayed for the music 🎶

[@carlitosm2819]

Found in every single Pizza Hut back in the days. I want to cry now……

[@davidbermudez7704]

The first time I played Yie Ar Kung-Fu was in the 80’s at a Mexican restaurant. I believe I spent like $2 trying to beat the game but later on it came out on NES port. So I rented the game at a video store and beat it again 😂😂😂😂

[@Gaming_Antics]

Remembering this game being hard AF due to the controls.

[@joe-yuugen]

Thank you for the excellent demonstration of this distant classic

[@DEYLINER]

That DANGER MUSIC😂😂😂😂😂puts you on PANIC 😱 LIKE A MF!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@GenMaster]

1:50 no teeth left lmao 😂

[@Soldmysoulforablurayplayer]

Used to play this in the Beach arcade in Tenby for two weeks every year

[@robray7106]

Used to play this at the skating rink in the 80s.

[@chrisw.7039]

This is one of my all time favorites. I bought a version of this on the Switch Arcade Archives. Someone please give me a modern remake. The same experience, don’t try to add too much.

[@TheHerrMan]

i can see how this was a cult classic for the time. the animations are one of a kind

[@DustinHoward-xh9sl]

Brings back memories

[@marcthunder]

sooooooooo many quarters to see all these opponents. i recall having to find patterns to win, like punch out

[@averythecoolcat]

This game is a certified hood classic! 😄

[@itsintheword230]

I remember playing this game as a kid at the skating rink.And I thought it was the coldest game in the world.I just could not do the moves and never beat the5th boss.... Then when nintendo came out with it it was completely different

[@boodang100]

Wow..I remember spending plenty of quarters on this game

[@volcano3493]

Better than MK 1!

[@grant5354]

They need to make a live movie adaptation of this game.

[@LucianoLopes-ys4xd]

Eu jogava muito no fliperama perto de onde eu morava. Saudades dessa época , de comprar fichas de fliperama... Saudações a todos.

[@wakdcanuck2827]

This game drove me nuts

[@perrylx]

Before Street Fighter and Tekken, there was Karate Champ and ☝️. These were the days

[@vantageballoon7706]

arcades in mid Manhattan after school best childhood ever

[@birdhater7563]

Played this at the pizza place where I worked in the 80s.

[@glausonmadalena4600]

Sensacional!!! Esses jogos foram a base....os pioneiros. No cenário do "Chaim" dá pra ver nitidamente de onde os caras tiraram a ideia do templo do "Shang Sung" do Mortal Kombat.....

[@riboflavinfolate3964]

"Pole" looks like he is well schooled in the pole waxing style.

[@sacul7694]

We had this for Commodore 64. Always got stuck fighting Pole. It was like a cheat and he would just hit you over and over and no way out of it. Good times.

[@DreamhouseFunStories]

Well well, if it isnt one of my favorite arcade games from my childhood, Nut-shot Kung Fu. Unlike Kung Fu Master, this game was challenging. Hard as i tried i could never defeat Tonfun. Great post, thanks for the memories.

[@willsingleton7609]

Spent hours playing this at the arcade

[@etongax]

The NES version was great for me. 🙏🌟👍

Had this game for the Commodore 64

[@toddspangler6669]

It would be awesome if they made a version of this that allows you to play any character. Or another version that allows blocking.

[@djsound-nice7637]

Tun Fun was no joke!

[@spo0keyg452]

best one i need to find this for PC

[@RobertoGoodra]

Héroe como tenía el oponente sin defensa lo aprovecho y la buena no hay juez para imponer una amonestación o tarjeta roja 🟥 😄 Fue el mejor momento de la películas de Kung Fu made in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 y Jackie Chan y otros actores

이 게임 제목은 기억 안나고 처음 시작할 때 음악은 기억난다 ㅋㅋ 양다리 쭉 펴고 두손 모아 찌르는 저 동작으로 마지막 상대 이겼지 ㅋㅋ

[@andypae]

I remeber playing this on C64. Never could beat the pole dude, he was cheap af.

[@lordtryforce]

I completely forgot about this game, but music and gameplay brought my memories back. Remember having problems with Fan/Sword.

[@darkerfalcon3747]

Don't you dare to say that the thumbnail was not intentional!🤣

[@adriangaxiola8133]

Awesome

[@atticradio]

Would much prefer these unfiltered for proper flashback-ness :(

[@kikeborrellubeda3197]

Como se llama el juego y en cual plataforma es mejor. Nes. Neo geo. Etc.. gracias

[@averythecoolcat]

It's Yie Ar Kung Fu...this is arcade, but the NES version is different.

[@williamgiesen4910]

I notice that the fallen women have a different graphic than the fallen men. I can only assume this was done as to not appear sexual

[@michaelschuett]

You should do some more Final Fight videos. Pretty please

[@thelos1331]

I dropped many a quarters on this game!

Que este juego no era de 1985

[@averythecoolcat]

Yes it was.

[@ugurozdemir4169]

This guy plays terrible. You can hit Star's shrukiens to gain points and extra lives. Same as Chain's chain and Fan's fans :-) Each one has its own tactics to beat. For Tonfun you must jump to one corner, hit lower corner kick and jump to the other side, even if you didn't hit. Hit another lower corner kick and jump again, rinse and repeat. For Blues (Bruce Lee we called him) just hit ordinary middle kick and go back. Jump to the other corner if u get trapped. When he has 3 hits left, he makes a jump and changes routine and middle kicks don't work. From tihs point its all gung ho and button bashing. Hopefully you beat him. I spent many many coins back in the day, but couldn't beat second Blues.
