Game: Kung Fu Master
From the arcades of the mid-eighties comes this classic scrolling brawler from Irem. Strongly inspired by the films of Bruce Lee and the Jackie Chan comedy “Wheels On Meals”, Kung Fu Master is the story of Thomas and his fight to free his girlfriend Sylvia from the clutches of the evil Mr. X. Playable and intense, Kung Fu Master was a refreshing hit in the arcades in the 80s and set a new standard for the beat-em-up genre. Now you can play it on Xbox via Antstream Arcade.
