I probably havent seen this in 30 years when it was still an arcade game. I remember when in doubt, you just spammed that low kick lol. The 80's were the best.
Wow! Back in 1985, I would walk to the bus station on my lunch break from work to play this game over and over again. If I had known there was never any real ending to it, I could have saved myself quite a few dollars in quarters.
Christmas 85 and my cousins had gotten a NES. I spent the night and we played this and Duck Hunt damn near all night eating Lil Debbie Star Crunch cakes. Good shit back in the day.
I remember this game from the "Silver Ball Arcade!" Located on the campus of The Ohio State University. The arcade was between 2 restaurants. "The Greek Village" gyro shop and "Subway" sandwich shop! 'This was the golden age of arcade games, 1984! "Purple Rain" was the hottest movie in the theater!! There was also a sit-down version of the Nintendo game "Gum Shoe.” My best friend and I, at the time (Steve Davis), used to cut high school and hang out there all the time! "Kung Fu Master" was hard and this was when quarters were hard to come by! Great Memories! Good Times!
I remember my dad holding up a sound recorder to the arcade machine as I played this at the arcade to listen to the music again. He loved the music so much as well, such an amazing time in arcade history.
We had a convenience store/pizza place just up the road when I was a kid. We would walk there to pick up pizza. Our parents would probably get arrested nowadays for "neglect" for letting us walk there alone. We would get a handful of miniature Reese's for five cents each. The store owner kept them chilled and we would take turns playing this game. We used to be able to beat it on just one quarter, sometimes twice. Funny the trivial things you remember and the important stuff you forget. I miss that place. They had amazing pizza. Haven't tasted anything quite like it since.

I still have the game on old NES. I was so hook on this came out during my child hood days. Sure reminded me of Bruce Lee with all the Kung fu battle cry. Looks like they were going with the tower from the Game of Death movie when you look at some of the enemies in it. Thanks for the upload of the arcade version of this game metalex1224. I can not wait to see more of your awesome videos. Keep up the good work.
Oh My God, when I remmeber how was the feeling that childhood time on age 12 during the palying games, the music on the games, it's just undescribable. I was completely drunk mentaly and emotinaly :) Now days all this realistic 3D games simply cannot awake that feelings not even a 5 % :)
I remember working at London Gatwick airport when I first left school in 1985. This game was there and gauntlet. The sound takes me right back to the mid 80s
Wu-Dah! I had watched *Bruce Lee's* films for years before this arcade game appeared. It never occurred to me it was anything other than a digitised copy of his Kiai stylings back then. Great game, lots of memories.
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American. Male. I was in 6th grade, and watched older guys play this game. Even to this day, I can't STAND the noise when you get hit by a 2nd or 4th floor object! So loud! I thought the first floor guy looked like a mad school principal! My favorite to defeat was the third floor guy: Running jump kick (Wo-yah!!), kneel down, PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH (not kick kick kick, because punches did MUCH more damage to the 3rd floor foe), and knock him out!!
This was a revolutionary side scroller game when it came out! Seeing at the arcade and on my friend's Commodore 64 and it looked pretty much like the arcade game!
If I could have a good size man cave I would get all the classics to remember my childhood. This game for sure along side PACMAN, FROGGER, QBERT , Donkey Kong, Dig Dug, Galaga, Spy Hunter, and Double Dragon... Don't get me wrong today's games are better but I'll still the classics any day
It never occurred to us back in the day, that this guy is throwing knives at Thomas and you’re actually being hit. Meanwhile the knives are going right through guys walking up on Thomas.
Played this game endlessly at the corner shop when I lived in Northcliff, Johannesburg back in 1986. 20 cents a game and such fun - loved the old arcade games. I have a knock off version of this on my iPhone bought from the Apple Store called ‘Mister Kung Fu’. It’s decent but can’t replace the old lollipop joystick and buttons you could smash!
Toda vía están en los multijuego yo rescate dos veces y llegue hasta el último piso del tercer rescate te imaginas como estaba el público atrás mío viendo ese récord y muchos más juegos
Old video game is...BEST...video game. Side scrolling beat 'em ups...it all started right here. Watching the game play here, it never occurred to me to use level 2 as a chance to rack up easy points. Those dragons are 2K each! We always just kept moving right as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Again, just a classic game with great action, simple yet effective controls with crisp colors and soothing music.
I just recently realized this is the arcade version of Kung Fu on the NES which is one of my favorites. I found an arcade place in Chicago that has this cabinet and I’m excited to finally get a chance to play this!
i played this alot was a great game back in the day,use to play this at the grocery store around the coroner from my house. they get a new game every so often and i use to sit in that store playing these games for hours.
At the end their happiness didn't last long because someone threw a knife at them while they were hugging, so basically they were happy for about 2 seconds
Gosh!!!!! This game brings back so many wonderful memories!!! One of all times bestest games, along with Galaxy.. I would play it over & over!!! Same as Galaxy
4:09 He GETS it! So many people would approach him, kneel down and kick kick kick, but getting that running jump kick (Wo-yah) in first, did damage, then kneel down and PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH, because punches did more damage than kicks!
Played this at age 7 while trying to impress a girl at a roller rink then went home facing backwards in the old station wagon, lol. I never liked not facing front in a vehicle.
It turned my blood cold remembering the sphincter tightening collision detection on pretty much everything. Still loved it though and only ever completed it on MAME!
I've had saved Silvia 3 times and didn't make it forth time. I mean those days in the playstores. Not on MAME. One of the best games that you really have to have skills.
I remember me and 2 friends begging our mums for 10p so we could go to the local cafe/shop and play this. I was rubbish but one of my friends could get 3 dragons and was on the bloody thing for forever 🙂
