@booty1983 ha ha. I'm sorry that your brother was an ass! But....they say revenge is sweet right? :) Thanks for watching!

Man, was it the Atari we replaced, or the Nintendo with the Turbo? I can't remember. But I do remember this game, and my brother hogging the controller. Thanks for the memories. Even though my brother was an ass, this video takes me back and seems to make me remember not only the system, but that time in my life. I apperciate it. I'm subscribing.

any connection to the new game Renegade?

This was a quarter munching classic in the arcades, except that the arcade version seemed a lot faster, more aggresive, and the sound effects of the attacks were very different and sounded a lot better, offering a much more different experience and overall feeling of the game. The sluggish speed and the wimpy sound effects of this port is what annoys me the most. This game still holds a lot of nostalgic value to me because of the arcade original. Worth owning on Turbo.

not as good as final fight, better then shaq-fu! average is definately the key word for this game.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. A lot of people stick-up for the game and yell at me. But....I don't know, have they played it ? :)

spida1a (5 months ago)

Yes, I was always bothered by the weird difficulty that hit right at the final boss. It just is an unbalanced game. Eh, I don't know. :) thanks!

I only got to play this game a few times but i still remember getting so angry when i would get to the last boss just to lose my final lives and have to start all over again :x

I have and beat this game. Another great and accurate review by spida1a ! I haven't played this game in years. So, I think I'll give it another playthrough, you know, just for good ol' timesake ! Later fellow TURBO PLAYERS !

at 1:35, you can see the twin towers on manhattan island in new york city (i think you are fighting on the infamous brooklyn bridge). when i was 11, i used to watch a fat bald and hairy guy play this at my arcade called dr. video's. he always would lose over and over again and would spend so much money just to beat it. everytime he would die, i would laugh at him (him dying and the fact that he was fat hairy and bald) and i knew i could get away with it because i was just a kid, hah, good times!

This looks alot like Kung-Fu on the NES

Ha ha! :)

There is nothing wrong with you and I being in complete disagreement (which we obviously are). But, I appreciate your nice, well written response verses "you suck and should die" that you often get out of people who just have different opinions than you do. Ha ha! :) Thanks for watching and happy new year!

Highly disagree with your reveiw, this is not an average game, this a great game, and one of the best on the pcengine, it's also the best conversion of the arcade version.

I think I'll stick with kung-fu LOL

This game looks like an updated version of Kung Fu for the NES

Aaah, c'mon! It isn't THAT bad. I kinda like this one and if you think it's that easy than you must be pretty good at 2D beat'em ups. I always had a bit of a tough time with this one but, at least it wasn't quite as rough as the arcade version. This was the game I chose as on the free mail order offer that came with the system. Remember that? You could choose between thirty some HuCard games. That was one of the best offers ever!

Yeah this one doesn't look nearly as good as I remembered!

Maybe not Bruce Lee, more like '70 Jackie Chan since the last game Kung-Fu Master was called Spartan X in Japan which was the name of an old Jackie Chan movie of the same name(the movie is also know as Wheels on Meals and had a similar plot). In China Warrior the character is more a Bruce Lee type and a little better than the Vigilante game.Now lets see a review of that Turbografx-16 classic China Warrior and Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu. just to filter out all the Kung Fu TG-16 games there.

Hey, thanks a lot. Thanks for watching!

Great review! This game just screams out BRUCE LEE!! Just put a par of black pants and no shirt on the guy and rename the game Bruce Lee. The graphics are ok, the sound is lame and it could have been a little longer with a little more variation to it. Still I will give this game 3/5 playable.

When I was a kid a found a wierd quirk in fighting the 1st boss and no one still seems to know about it... Crouch kick the boss and while he is jumping up and down kick him in the face. No as he sits dazed on the floor walk RIGHT up to him then press both punch and kick together and he dies within 3 or 4 hits!!! Wierd! As always great review Chris.
