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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Over 40 years ago I use to watch my older brother mesmerized, playing this game in the arcade at the Presidio Army Base in San Francisco while our parents shopped in the PX. He was really good at it. What he could do with just 1 quarter. He would offer to let me play but I would just get killed so I didn’t accept often. It was more fun watching him kick ass. This really brought back memories of good times
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.

Good Times!
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!!
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
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!
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!
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 % :)
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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'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.
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
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.
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!
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!
@@pow9606 actually, I find the graphics holding up really well. They could release this game now in 2022 calling it a new game and it can pass as a 2022 game especially for mobile/phone gaming
I was looking for a French movie with Jane Birkin and Charlotte Gainsbourg but I obviously took the wrong turn somewhere and ended up in a penny arcade in 1984! 🙈
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 🙂
Lol I never had enough quarters or time to make it very far on this game . It was on the ferry ride from Vancouver Island to Vancouver which took about 1hr30mins and I was dependent on Mom and Dad for the quarters of which they doled out sparingly depending on their moods at the time 😂 So I never even saw the really big guy 😱lol

It's amazing that after 40 fricken years, these sounds are still familiar.
That's the truth, especially this game!!

Was it ever about winning?
I never 'won' Bomb Jack, but boy did I ever got hours and hours of great time playing a great game in my youth
At least you had fun and was in your own world
@kurtdrexler9888*too*
Same here went up all 5 floors twice❤ used to love it
That music just takes me back almost 30 years, like it was yesterday!
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.
Spam the low kick! That's all I could think of as soon as this thing popped up. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
We even “practiced” the low kicks at school with “whadda!” 😂.

Best part about this video isn’t the gameplay, it’s reading the comment section full of people recalling memories of this game
Ofcourse, that's the point.
It warms my heart and makes me smile reading them. Its so sweet~

Not trivial at all. It does the same thing for me!
When I wanna feel my childhood... I started watching these games
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up!
Bloody hell that brings back memories to the fairgrounds and the chip shops back in the days sick!!!!!!!!!!!!
ash hussain Yup. I got in trouble so many times by my parents for spending money at the fair arcade on this game.

Loved this game... Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting!

Used to love these old games! I used to be really into Dynamite Dan and Rambo : )
I remember when I was a kid in the 1980's, I used to go to the arcade and watch some older kids play this game.
I searched for this game
i remember playing this as a child
nostalgia pure

That 12-bar blues song motif was previously used in another Irem arcade game: Moon Patrol (1982).
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!
This is also the original version.
Amazing memories of jostling for position to get a good view of an older kid crushing this game at an arcade.
You got that right kung fu master will never get old I'm the greatest game player of all time

Cómo olvidar lo que ya no volverá uno de mis juegos favoritos de aquella época.
Si vuelve y está presente,,,, en Chile aún venden consolas árcade!!
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
This game was also known in Japan as “Spartan X”.
Kung Fu master !!!! Nossa joguei muito na minha infância ! ☺️☺️☺️👏👏👏
When he does a jump kick, doesn't it sound like he's shouting "What up?"
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.
And when Thomas punches, he says “Attack!”
I remember playing this in an airport of all places and thinking was the coolest game ever
Its so nice of them to invite you over to be entertained. 😁
One of my favorite NES games. I used to go the arcades as a child, never ever saw this game so had no idea the NES game was based on an arcade game.
For a moment I thought I was in the arcade watching other kid playing waiting for my turn.
Good memories, nicely done. Man, that stage with the Magician is short, I used to be good at avoiding the killer moths in that level.
and this over and over again for the eternity
Hardest game I've ever played back in the day 🕹️
So that’s also where Kim’s famous shouts also come from outside of it just being a FOTNS reference.
Just beautiful work Nishiyama
I first played this as an nes rental back in the 80s lol. Still fun. But im glad this wasn't an xmas gift. Gets old quick.
thanks for sharing this ... step by step with a lot of coins but never seen silvia ...
Awesome game , i sure spent a lot of tokens in it , I am going to order it for the nes soon ...👍👍👍👍
dang only video game where you get to fight michael jackson and hulk hogan
Haha, I remember playing this in the arcade and dying every single time when the guy grabs you about 10 seconds in... I was young but still!
Playing now online. Very easy to get caught up in the beginning. Once one gets you, it's panic mode. Then the throwing knives begin.
So they both never really reach happiness 🤣
My best friend and I blew about $500 dollars on this game over the course of 2 years at the local 7-11
Bloody hell I remember rinsing all my pocket money on this game on holiday at Weston-Super-Mare pier when was I was 9 😂
This game was in every pizza store here in Puerto Rico. Great memories 🥹
This might be one of the only games where after you defeat the final boss you can still be killed.
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.
This one was so much fun, I played endless Kung Fu at the laundromat as a kid.
Saudades da infância vendo esse clássico
Verdade, gastei várias fichas nesse jogo quando era criança!
Remember when towns had to close down arcades because they became havens for dealing dime bags. Arcades were outlawed!
I could clear every level on this game, it’s the best arcade game ever ❤
One of the best arkade game ever created.
Belleza yo siempre la rescataba dos veces y el tercer rescate el que la tenía secuestrada ya No lo podía matar el ese muy duro
This game also came out on the NES with Nintendo as it's publisher.
Yes and it was amazing. As simple as it was, back then it was so fun to play
Not only the publisher, but also the developer. It’s a fine version, even if it’s a bit lower in fidelity to the arcade
You guys had it easy, the tight wad in our arcade had it on the hardest setting straight away, bastard. We never got to see the game completed.
+Scanini No, I set up the games on hard options mostly.
No matter how fast I was and how hard I tried to time everything I could never finish this one. Like most of them, lol.
3rd floor was the easier
I spend sooooooooooo much money on this game , when i was 14 ;-) Still love it !
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
Wow is it just me or is the NES version of this game way better than the arcade version?
Somehow I always mixed this up with Shinobi in my memories. Happy days!
The OG of martial arts gaming !! .. real dope s****
Amazing game to play,out of all the kungfu games,this Kung Fu Master,would be the one I picked,👌👌👌
this takes me back, my cuz had it on his commodore 64
Oh my ... the amount of coins my friends and I spent on this game at the local burger joint when I was a teen :)
This game has such addicting sounds and music its like dopamine rush hearing it again
This is the fighting game that started for the fighting games genre
Kung fu master is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and STUNNINGLY AMAZING
Everybody that's watching is my age
.. great childhood💪🏾✌🏾👌🏾
Nos meus bons tempos de infância,deixava 3 dragões gravados...e o mestre sofria maminha mão pelo 4 ....
Bons tempos
eu as vzs colocava 3 dragões também
GREAT VIDEO.. I TOTALLY FORGOT ALL ABOUT THIS VIDEO GAME. GOOD TIMES ON FRIDAY NIGHTS AND SATURDAY MORNINGS.
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.
Man we used to play the hell out of this game back in the day it kinda reminds me of the Michael Jackson Moonwalker game too
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!
Hi. The arcade has way better graphics than the Famicom. This game is very cool.
Dammit... where were you when I was 8 and struggling with that lvl 4 boss ?! ?I only ever beat him (and the game) once.
This cost me many weeks of pocket money 💰 when I a young teenager after school ….played @ my local swimming baths
Had no idea this was an arcade. Surprisingly, I think the NES version looked better than the arcade.
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!
Level 4 is the biggest pain. Those bees! That disappearing guy!
Better than any games today
It's because everything about the game is sooooo great. The only thing that can date is the graphics.
@@pow9606 actually, I find the graphics holding up really well. They could release this game now in 2022 calling it a new game and it can pass as a 2022 game especially for mobile/phone gaming
I was looking for a French movie with Jane Birkin and Charlotte Gainsbourg but I obviously took the wrong turn somewhere and ended up in a penny arcade in 1984! 🙈
It’s been years since I’ve seen this one. I don’t recall if I actually played though.
Funny how in the end, the tied lady frees her own self and the knife thrower gets frozen :D
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 🙂
Mis mejores tiempos tengo 45 años y me hizo sentir chamaco alla x 1985
Like how he pasted those Elvis impersonators in the pink shell suits at 0:12😂
Its awsome , i play it now on my retroid 3+ 😍
Imagine if we could go back in time. Good old days 80s were legendary
The enemy never hit him, they grabbed and hugged him and somehow that hurt him.
Lol I never had enough quarters or time to make it very far on this game . It was on the ferry ride from Vancouver Island to Vancouver which took about 1hr30mins and I was dependent on Mom and Dad for the quarters of which they doled out sparingly depending on their moods at the time 😂
So I never even saw the really big guy 😱lol
this game was the best game invented back in the 80s,Silverdale shops Hamilton New Zealand the Hood
