  • There was a mid 80's game called gladiator. MK was a joke...since I'm running out of ideas.

    Street fighter?
    Samurai

    • Seriously can no one think of a martial arts fighting game from this period, released just after (and far superior to) IK and Way of the exploding fist?

      • Damn! I just wanted to guess exploding fist!

        Edit: After I reviewed the thread once again I noticed it has already been guessed. These things happen when you aren't regular.

          Superior in which way?

          • More varied opponents, more varied moves.

            • Was the a game called Karate Kid? That'll be my guess, since I know no other Martial Arts games that haven't already been mentioned...

                  • Shinobi? Never played the game, so I don't know if it's a Martial Arts game...

                    • Review of Yie Ar Kung Fu from CRASH magazine, February 1986


                      A classic. Over to SC.

                      • Late '80s, C64 (perhaps others, but I doubt it).

                        RPG, non-standard.

                        • Great site Doc.

                          You wouldn't know a commodore64 counterpart of it, would you?

                          • Darn - another one i would have got had i been here the last couple of days.....

                            Was it really better than IK? I never played Yie Ar Kung Fu, but IK was a great game - lots of levels/16 moves/many varied inter level challanges(i loved the head butting one). It was a very pure martial arts game.

                            [and i find it hard to believe a spectrum game genre could have a better game than my beloved Atari 8bit - however i was envious of the rather cool advert/box art for it, which made me want to play it - that nunchuka dude looked mean ]

                            • Well I liked IK but Yie Ar Kung Fu set the standard in my view for a good while. It's sad but most of the Tekken/Soul Calibur/VF adherents think beat-em-ups began with SF2, but those early Spectrum (and related platforms) games are the real ancestors.

                              • I played yie ar kung fu 2. It was C64 game. However, this game had fewer moves. That's why I never suspected the great classic.
