Kung Fu (NES) Walkthrough (game A)
2Kung-Fu Master, known as Spartan X in Japan, is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game developed by Irem as an arcade game in 1984, and distributed by Data East in North America. In June 1985, the game was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
The player controls Thomas, the titular Kung-Fu Master, as he fights his way through the five levels of the Devil's Temple to rescue his girlfriend Sylvia from the crime boss Mr. X. As he ascends the tower, he has to fight many enemies along the way and five end-of-level boss battles, a concept inspired by Game of Death. Thomas and each boss have a health meter, and the game temporarily becomes a one-on-one fighting game during boss battles.
I think this is one of the most if not the shortest NES game ever. We are waiting for 5 short stages with a boss at the end of each of them. I chose to play "game A" and not "game B" due to the fact that there are no differences between them except for the difficulty, for example in "game B" it is enough to take damage 2 times to bite the ground. At the end of the game, we are waiting for an encouraging final scene, after which the game starts again, and the number 1 appears at the dragon icon. This number is just a round counter, and is not needed for anything else.
