NOTE: A trainer was used for making this capture.

I previously covered the homebrew version of Bruce Lee for the Sega Master System by Kagesan (video - https://youtu.be/nVdCwLUV1_E) which was one of my first captures.

Here is a capture of the original release from Datasoft, which Kagesan based his excellent port on.

I have always liked the tune used with the title screen. I believe it does a good job setting the mood. Too bad it is the only music in the game, but I never thought that was a problem. To me, the gameplay feels right as designed.

I guess one would say this is a mixed platforming and fighting game. The whole game is about 20 different screens total to traverse through to get to the end/goal. The two challengers you face are more obstacles than much else, between the platforming challenges on the various screens.

Control is decent, and responsive, although a couple of the screens do get annoying with timing the jumps properly to avoid the obstacles!

Definitely a game to check out.
