8"Ring the bell and the old man will bring you to space" sums up the feelings I get from this game. It's a wacky wild adventure that doesn't need to check in with reality often. And the sprites are literally huge, if that's your thing.
Is this game modeled after Ghosts and Goblins? The beginning is a demon man appearing when you and your girlfriend are hanging out, he beats you up and steals her away. Then we get a scrolling screen showing you your progress... the first two minutes are just Ghosts and Goblins!
So, I hate how this game looks. A lot of people like this kind of art in their NES games, with the giant sprites and stuff, but I can't stand it. Give me a tiny accurate sprite! Don't use any more pixels than you need to! That's my style. If we have tiny sprites, there's more screen room for game!
In this, you get a really small window as to what's ahead, because you're taking up a honking third of the screen. That feels like gameplay being sacrificed for graphics, and that just won't do for me.
All this being said... apart from being "ugly and inefficient" in my eyes, the game plays pretty darn well! I actually quite enjoy the movement and combat in it. There's a lot of differnt options for how to attack, and the giant oversized spritework looks decent enough when you're doing it. Not too shabby!
if it weren't for this costing two thirds of a hundo, I'd probably add it to my collection. Oh well, all things in life can't be available or else it loses some of the magic. Thanks for joining me everyone, I hope you enjoyed the episode and we will be back soon with another. Have a great day!

Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu (ă¸ăŁăăăźăťăă§ăł, JakkÄŤ Chen, Jackie Chan) is an action platform video game[1] developed by Now Production and published by Hudson Soft. It was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990 and for the TurboGrafx-16 in 1991.
The player controls Jackie Chan, the well-known martial arts stunt master,[2] and brawls against many enemies during his quest to save his sister. The game is played through five levels (each with a boss at the end).
Throughout the game, the player would encounter frogs that carry power-ups or rice bowls (which are items in the game that restore health), but the frogs would have to be hit in order for the item to be obtained. Power-ups can allow the player to do a special type of attack over a limited number of times (although the player is only able to carry one power-up). Jackie is also able to charge a special beam-like attack, although it can only be used up to five times. Most of the enemies that the player defeats will drop green orbs, but enemies killed by beam attacks won't drop any orbs. If the player collects 30 orbs, life will be replenished (as well as the 5 charged shots).
If the player dies, all of the orbs and power-ups are lost and must be gained again. The player only has 1 life in the game, but may continue up to five times initially. Extra continues may be earned through bonus stages throughout the game, which are levels triggered by bells in the levels which transport Jackie to the bonus stages, each of which have a 30-second time limit and usually involve jumping on clouds or hitting statues to earn points. At the end of 30 seconds, those points are tallied and may also be used to buy extra lives and special attacks.

Squiggy Seven: First Impressions is a series where I blind review random NES games in an effort to learn more about the hidden classics on the system. I have gotten into retro collecting for the NES and I am on the hunt for those games I've never played that I'm missing out on.
