0Back in 1984, Datasoft Inc released a game based on the Bruce Lee character featured in motion pictures. The game was ported to many platforms at the time and it got pretty good reviews. Many people look back and remember the game with love and warmth in their hearts.

The Original
In 2013, Bruno R. Marcos released a spiritual successor to the Bruce Lee game on his website www.bruneras.com. The game was called Bruce Lee II. It featured an Amstrad CPC mode and a Commodore 64 mode which gave the game a retro look like it was created for those two platforms in the first place. It also featured sampled sound from the 1984 Bruce Lee game in addition to some new ones.
The Conversion
Mid April 2014 development started to port Bruno's Bruce Lee II to the Commodore 64. Almost a year later the game was finished. Even if the game originally looked like a Commodore 64 game it was very difficult to make it run on a real Commodore 64. The reasons are basically that the game contains a lot of features and also pushes the limits of the graphics hardware even if it looks simplistic. The conversion isn't perfect and some small things differ from the original due to hardware and effort limitations.
The original game has a couple of places where you need to perform pixel perfect jumps to get forward in the game. This can be frustrating so an easy game mode has been added. This adds a small amount of walkable blocks which removes the need for pixel perfect jumps. The easy game mode also makes one room with dangerous moving floor tiles easier and you have ten lives to begin with instead of five. I would recommend you to play the easy game mode unless you are prepared to grind and replay the game a lot.
