Months... Years. I only got to level two. I gave up after that. Found myself playing Sega and eventually drowning under water many times with a hedgehog. Who knew a fox could swim tho...
Agreed...These nintendo games were so hard. But if you use save states youd be shocked by how short these games are!! Maybe they made them so hard bc they were so dam short lol
I'm an '80s baby. This game brings back such a wonderful feeling of nostalgia! hanging out with cousins and friends you know, Whatever kid was able to come to the house from up or down the street that day. It was so much easier making friends living in the '80s and early '90s being a kid and having a Nintendo. Or Sega lol Awesome video! game on! 🕹️🎮
The NES was a huge step up from the Atari 2600 in audio as well as graphics. Though primitive by today's standards, they could still do some pretty cool stuff with sound effects.
I can remember playing this in the arcade’s as a kid, I used so many quarters on this game until I was able to conquer it then when I bought it on the NES I ended it the same day because I already knew how to play
I remember playing this game when I was young, it reminded me of the Karate Kid movies and some Bruce Lee films but it was hard like many NES games. It is a shame I never finished it.
@@KenInnesIV Yes the hardest NES games I remember was Mission Impossible and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1. I never finished the first Metroid, Kidicarus and Super Mario Bros 2. Believe it or not Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros 3 was a lot easier for me then Super Mario Bros 2. Although some years later some claimed the real Super Mario Bros 2 was the lost level game which only came out in Japan. I beat all the SNES, N64, PC, PS3 games I played. I only beat one Nintendo Switch game so far which was the game from the Cowabunga collection TMNT arcade game from 1989.
@@Justthemow A lot of the NES games where tough. I had good memories from a lot of them. I would love to collect as many video game and consoles in my life as a gamer and fan. Much like I collect sports, books, movies, books, video games is something like art and great awesome things I remember in my life.
The cool thing about some of these old games is the precise technique and timing that you needed to succeed and even though they can be repetitive they are still fun
@@KenInnesIV I remember the Big Black Took me out with one Kick. Had full health when it happened. LMAO 😂🤣. Was so Mad I kick the Machine at the Store and got Thrown out
@@robertrodriguez787 Yeah, I've gotten that mad before. Hit my NES once and actually cracked the game slot door. Also threw my controller on a number of occasions.
You made that look to easy... mine has been on my shelf for like 25 years now and I think I might finally give it a try again.... This game was bane of my existence at 6 years old... Along with Dick Tracy and A Boy and his blob. Lol
Actually, at that time, games tended to be unending. They just got harder and harder until you gave up. I knew a few Atari 2600 developers and I asked why this was so. And they said basically, at that time in gaming, people just expected games to be forever so they got their money's worth. A game that ends doesn't have any replayability. Funny how times have changed.
@@KenInnesIV I had the Advantage stick. I wanted the Max but it was always sold out and my mother was convinced I would break it. That stick lasted far longer than the actual system lol.
@@seanyoung9014 I loved the Max, not just for the turbo but also the weird circular d-pad that made diagonal movements a bit easier. I didn't own the Advantage but got to use it and found it more difficult. It was great for people who were used to arcade sticks but I was more used to the flat d-pad.
Not really the end of the game....If you go through the cycle again, the love hearts around Thomas and Sylvia increase. I remember seeing this, and my uncle telling me that if you go through the cycle 5 or ten times, you get to face the final boss. Pretty sure he was talking shit.
You just need to stand up to thwart that tumbling dwarf. Also, never use punch, it has a shorter range. Just always kick. I can beat this damage less when I was a kid. Can't remember how many iterations I can beat. it gets harder per iteration.
Yup! I remember in the mid 1980's playing the arcade version of this game at a pizza shop in NYC. The arcade version of this game looked a little flashier, but was basically the same exact game.
When my wife and I would play Earth Defense Force or Left 4 Dead on the hardest difficulties the giant bugs/zombies would totally infiltrate our dreams!
I think using the original hardware would be easier. With emulators there's latency issues, especially if using a Bluetooth controller. That input lag can be killer on games that require precise timing.

Have you played it? What do you think?
I played it and beat on several occasions. I used mostly kicks, but you used almost exclusively punches until you used low kicks to dominate Mr. X.
@@johnanderson9765 I think punches earn more points
@@KenInnesIV Makes sense, kicks have a longer range.
I remember that game being alot harder and longer to beat and you just did it in almost 7 mins. Mad props.
Yes sir I remember being in elementary School 🎒 playing this with my family with the huge turbo controller on NES great memories
6 minutes?!?!? This game took MONTHS to conquer. Thomas died a million deaths in my hands. Seriously, level 4, murder hornets.
They had to make the short games challenging or you wouldn't feel like you got your money's worth
Try you jaja
I am with you on that. It took me a few weeks to beat... Good times.
Months... Years. I only got to level two. I gave up after that. Found myself playing Sega and eventually drowning under water many times with a hedgehog. Who knew a fox could swim tho...
Agreed...These nintendo games were so hard. But if you use save states youd be shocked by how short these games are!! Maybe they made them so hard bc they were so dam short lol
I ran through this game in a half hour when it came out
One of my first 5 games for the NES. Still a classic
Did you keep playing it to get better scores or did you stop once you beat it?
One of the best early fighting games. The realistic fighting stance, great controls, great sound effects, and awesome boss characters.
Couldn't agree more!
I'm an '80s baby. This game brings back such a wonderful feeling of nostalgia! hanging out with cousins and friends you know, Whatever kid was able to come to the house from up or down the street that day. It was so much easier making friends living in the '80s and early '90s being a kid and having a Nintendo. Or Sega lol Awesome video! game on! 🕹️🎮
Yep, that really helped. I went over to my friend who had it as much as I could until I finally got my own.
Me after 33 years: "Ahhh, so THAT'S how you defeat the witch!"
I guess that magician does kinda look like a witch
When I was little that laugh at 2:09 scared the crap out of me.
The NES was a huge step up from the Atari 2600 in audio as well as graphics. Though primitive by today's standards, they could still do some pretty cool stuff with sound effects.
Used to play this game in the arcade. Fun stuff
I definitely didn't play it in the arcade. I may have seen it being played but I don't remember.
I loved this game when I was a kid. The sound effects are so cool! Total 80's
Yep, so totally retro.
My friends and I played this to death on the NES in the 80s
Absolutely timeless!
Great job! I don’t know what frustrated me more, the knife throwers or the jumping kids
Yeah, they are both super annoying
I can remember playing this in the arcade’s as a kid, I used so many quarters on this game until I was able to conquer it then when I bought it on the NES I ended it the same day because I already knew how to play
So not much different in moves and enemies between the arcade and NES versions?
I remember playing this game when I was young, it reminded me of the Karate Kid movies and some Bruce Lee films but it was hard like many NES games. It is a shame I never finished it.
There are much, much harder NES games out there. I'd say give it another go. With a few hours practice you'll probably beat it.
@@KenInnesIV Yes the hardest NES games I remember was Mission Impossible and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1. I never finished the first Metroid, Kidicarus and Super Mario Bros 2.

@@rogerstephenroth8073 I have a n 64 with StarCraft 64 that’s my only collection piece
I must have snapped my controller a hundred times playing this game
I would love to see this game on Switch.
I'm surprised they don't have it there yet.
Funny how the NES hardware, unchanged, went from this game to Super Mario Bros. 3.
Yep, it takes a while for developers to figure everything out about the hardware
The cool thing about some of these old games is the precise technique and timing that you needed to succeed and even though they can be repetitive they are still fun
I'm having a ton of fun playing these retro games that I grew up on

Steven Seagal thinks people attack like the dudes in the pinkish purple tops. Just running at him with their arms up
LOL!🤣
I finally get to see the ending
Did you never beat it as a kid?
@@KenInnesIV nope
Hi ! But. I ha e your new ! Channel I like this 🎮 I will put this in my Library so Keep the games coming your new ! No.1 fan !
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this retro game. Try to go a perfect NO HIT NO DEATH run next time.
LOL, I mean it's certainly possible if I practiced enough but that'd be a huge time investment. Right now I'm enjoying playing a variety of titles.
You made that look to easy... mine has been on my shelf for like 25 years now and I think I might finally give it a try again.... This game was bane of my existence at 6 years old...
Along with Dick Tracy and A Boy and his blob. Lol
I haven't played those other two but I'm sure I'll try them out eventually.
Nos conformabamos con muy poco con estos juegos pero en ese tiempo era lo máximo y entretenido. Ahora hasta da risa de lo simple que eran
a mi me hacian reir mucho los jefes cuando morian jajaja
@@mauriciogodoy1249 I like the sound effects when they die
I heard they try to finish Bruce Lee's Game of Death movie with bad Graphics but these right for it's time.
I think Kung Fu was probably based on Game of Death
I remember playing this game on Nintendo now it's 2023 and I'm playing it on my Ps3
Where does the time go....
@@KenInnesIVhow you get it?
@@education654321 I never owned it
@@KenInnesIV o ok
Jackie Chan Meals on Wheels movie is what this is based on.
Cool, I didn't know that.
Does anyone else think the "Boing!" Noise is funny when a boss dies?
Yep, like a spring sound effect!
Rage quit throwing the remote to the ground: hell naaww it's not that eazy to play.😵
I've done that with Ghosts & Goblins.
congrats!
Thanks!
I loved this growing up but never understood how 5 lvls was even considered a full game
The very first NES games were quite simple and were either short or repetitive.
@KenInnesIV oh i know im og back to atari / calicovision days lol
You can get a free life going into the third floor by using jump kick a lot in the first two floors. Try it
Thanks, I'll have to try that next time I play.
Back then 10 minute video game was expectable I guess.

Yep, I used to love Atari games when they came out but now I stay away from the endless games. I want to feel the accomplishment of beating games.
Yup my reflexes must have been completely shit as a kid 🤣🤣
Buddy u ghh hf cbh j jh chh bh jc Ho po v h z bc
It felt like it, right? Lol
I think my reflexes were pretty good as a kid, probably better than they are now.
The biggest enemy here is the controls
Yep, they do take some getting used to.
I have a bootleg Nintendo classic and I still try to beat this game lol
Surely you've succeeded by now!
You made that look so easy 🙈😂
Thanks. It took a lot of tries to get there.
As soon as I got the very first turbo controller for NES, this game got annihilated lmao.
Which controller did you get? I had the NES Max Pad.
@@KenInnesIV I had the Advantage stick. I wanted the Max but it was always sold out and my mother was convinced I would break it. That stick lasted far longer than the actual system lol.

@@KenInnesIV Yeah to be honest, I barely used it compared to the standard controller.
is Chuck Norris, the final big boss ?
Chuck Norris is more badass than that final boss
How many playthroughs to get to this playthrough though 🤣
Too many to count
@@KenInnesIV makes sense i tried for a long time before i could beat that game
havent played this sense i was a kid
No time like the present to pick it up and give it a another go
One thing I've always wondered about NES games. What exactly is the difference between A and B?
I looked this up recently and apparently B is harder with more enemies.
Harder oh no I'll stick with A then
Not really the end of the game....If you go through the cycle again, the love hearts around Thomas and Sylvia increase. I remember seeing this, and my uncle telling me that if you go through the cycle 5 or ten times, you get to face the final boss. Pretty sure he was talking shit.
A lot of the earlier arcade games were meant to be played repeatedly, with the ultimate goad being not to really beat it but to claim the high score.
Still don't know why he's stuck on a treadmill after l2
What do you mean?
@@KenInnesIV after you beat the boomerang guy the hero is running in place towards MrX and Sofie
This game is awesome and should be on the switch nes app
I wonder why it's not... rights issue?
@@KenInnesIV I have no idea but it belongs on there for sure
When I was little I thought the level 4 boss was an old lady.
The graphics in NES games definitely got better as time went on
Noooooooo!!!!
I’m Jealous! I wanna Play!!!
Go for it!
You just need to stand up to thwart that tumbling dwarf. Also, never use punch, it has a shorter range. Just always kick. I can beat this damage less when I was a kid. Can't remember how many iterations I can beat. it gets harder per iteration.
Doesn't punching give you more points?
@@KenInnesIV Can't remember. That maybe true. I didn't care about points though. Just how far I can go
A game that took me hours and n number of tries to complete is done and dusted in 6 mins 😎👍
Yep, exactly!
Arcade perfect for an NES Game.
Yup! I remember in the mid 1980's playing the arcade version of this game at a pizza shop in NYC. The arcade version of this game looked a little flashier, but was basically the same exact game.
I don't think I played the arcade version. I probably saw it in the arcades but just don't remember
Are those little kids in green??
I think they're supposed to be midgets but I don't see why they couldn't be super-athletic martial arts kids
Kalau melihat saja , kelihatannya gampang. Tetapi begitu mencoba, termyata susah juga :D
There is some difficulty to it but it's not too bad.
This was a dark souls game when I was 8. Never beat this or punch out when I was a kid.
I can understand not beating Punch Out! as that was a tough game. This one doesn't seem nearly as challenging.
I beat this game when I was 9 it took many hours
Wow, that's impressive!
That midget haunted my dreams
When my wife and I would play Earth Defense Force or Left 4 Dead on the hardest difficulties the giant bugs/zombies would totally infiltrate our dreams!
theres only 6 levels in this game?
Yeah, but for this game I'm fine with that.
I used to whip this game daily and Sylvia was my woman yall
I don't think there was any game I played daily after beating it.
It must be based on Bruce lee tower of death
Yeah, pretty sure it was inspired by Bruce Lee's Game of Death.
These are normally beat now on emulators. Try on a dusty NES and get at me.
I think using the original hardware would be easier. With emulators there's latency issues, especially if using a Bluetooth controller. That input lag can be killer on games that require precise timing.
No one can beat this game! 😂
Guess it really depends on what you consider beaten. This is one that can be played over and over in the quest for a high sore.
Mr X was weak sauce!
Yep, it's weird they made the last boss one of the easiest. But maybe he's harder in mode B. I haven't tried that one yet.
😆
El kung fu zero es el mejor
Is it your favorite NES game? It was fun but I don't think it would even make my top 50.
Dam I wish I was kid playing NES 😀 know it's just work 💩😥🖕
I know exactly how you feel!
The only thing this game does is…..bring back GREAT MEMORIES 🦾
Especially for those that got the NES right when it came out
@@KenInnesIV Yup....💯
