This game has a special place in my heart and gaming experience: it was the 1st time I got to experience as a kid what it was like to have at home a game I had played at my local cafe... my 1st ever arcade port at home! It was also the first time I learned that you have to constantly fight for the one you love, although I usually gave up Sylvia after saving her 1st time around... that woman does nothing but getting herself into problems!!
I like your story because I can only imagine what must it have felt,,since my first ever unit was the PS3. I never made it past second boss. Anyway, mostly i used to watch the kids in my neighborhood at a little convinient store since I coundnt pay myself to play. I was 6-7 maybe.
Yes, memorable times, I'm very happy of those old days: kids nowadays are totally oblivious about what it was like to play video games in the 80s, unless they happen to live in Japan, where arcade machines are still very popular. I'm from an age where, if you were a kid and wanted to play cool games with cool graphics, you had to leave home and go to the local café in your neighborhood, or arcade saloon if you were over 16. As a kid, I mostly just sit there by the side of the arcade cabinet and watched married, smoking, bearded men playing...trying to learn from their mistakes and maximize my only 1-2 coins for the whole week! Having to interact with much older people was also a good school in anger management: some men lost their heads very easily when they lost, and punched and kicked the arcade machines violently!! So when my father bought me an NES with 3-4 games, in which one of the games was this one ( a game in which I also never made it to the final boss in the arcade ), lot's of things changed: no more going to smoke-filled cafés, no more having to deal with rude people or older nasty kids, and no more coins... well, actually, it's sort of 'no more coins' :)
andersondb0 yes it does! I remember i was playing this game for the first time and this is so hard and I can't even make it! I think I remember I can't even past by level 2 because of the dragon part is so difficult, so maybe I'll be beating this game in the future maybe.
I think the arcade version is tougher than this port. I had the NES version, and I replayed the arcade version a few years ago and it's still as tough to beat as I remember it. But no surprise there considering that the arcade version was supposed to devour a couple of coins from those trying to beat the game the first couple of times.
This was one of the first NES games when the system first came out.There were only a few titles Super Mario,Kung Fu,Excitebike,Golf,Baseball and just a few more
Gasté mucho dinero tratando de rescatar a Sylvia en las maquinitas del mercado, y no me arrepiento. Uno de mis juegos favoritos de todos los tiempos/I spent a lotta money trying to save Sylvia in the arcade, and I don't regret it. One of my favorite games ever...❤
2-GIRL 1-CUP Lol, dat laughter... I used to imitate it. I'll never forget it. The way that guy loses his head at 4:12 made me rofling when we played that game for the first time.
Still holds up with modern games. The only arcade game improved on a console. Even better as an adult realizing it was basically a1970s/early 80s Kung Fu movie brought to life. An updated modern remake would be interesting.
Yea. The 2nd level is hard until you learn how to predict the balls that fall. The 3rd level is where the game starts to get a little unethical. You have to often take damage from regular henchmen to kill the knife throwers as fast as possible. The 4th board revolves around walking through the butterflies. And of course on the 5th board, you need to accept damage from the henchmen to kill the knife throwers as quickly as possible.
@Reginald Marshall- My apologies to you, I was only joking. There is no reality show, that's why I placed a smile after my comment. I would watch it, if true.
I had this game as a kid. It might’ve been my first game after Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt. It blows my mind that this entire game can be beat in less than 10 minutes. I just spent tens of hours completing Jedi Fallen Order 🤣 Although, as a kid, 10 minutes might did feel like 10 hours.
In August 1986, Nintendo released an arcade machine called Playchoice-10 that contained up to ten popular NES titles. Amongst the eligible NES games, Kung Fu was also available on the arcade machine.
Steven Lee Can't, because he has less moves, Smash bros has more moves than that, it's either gave him a new game prequel of kung fu or they will make a movie about it.
This is painful reminder of how expensive video games were back in the day. I think this was one of the cheaper packs at something like $34.99US much like the other Nintendo 1st generation games. That works out to roughly $5.83 per minute of gameplay and not much you can do to enhance replay value. Maybe beat it using only punches?
Don't remember if this game came with the system but I do remember playing it. Never got far but it was cool at the time. Definitely a different experience from that on playing on emulators.
There are probably licensing issues involved that oriented Nintendo from doing that. I believe Data East made the original arcade version of the game and they’re not around anymore.

@@PrimiusLovin i thought this happened only in Mexico
Me too and my fav stage was when it started raining😢
Mr. X's laugh has stuck with me for 30 years of good and bad times.
I loved how the enemies looked like they were hugging you when they got close.
OH MY GOD!!!
😂
“Quit sucking out my life force”
This seemed a lot harder as a kid.
andersondb0 yes it does! I remember i was playing this game for the first time and this is so hard and I can't even make it! I think I remember I can't even past by level 2 because of the dragon part is so difficult, so maybe I'll be beating this game in the future maybe.

Word!
it still is
try the arcade version. It's fucking brutal.
Sorry thomas but silvia is in another castle
@Katharyn Dellarose sus
Used to play this game with my brother..i miss him😢rip bro
Najhong Flanax yes its our childhood memories
Used to play all these w my little brother back in the day. Good memories.
Oh sorry man may he R.I.P
What happened to him
@@stage666 he was shot
Omg, remember having a lot of good times with this game. Wish they would give it to us for switch online.
Short but classic. The Early NES was my favorite Era of gaming. It was just over the level of 2600 games but it wasnt so complex as later NES games.
This was one of the first NES games when the system first came out.There were only a few titles Super Mario,Kung Fu,Excitebike,Golf,Baseball and just a few more
Thanks, tips
Battle city, the goonies
Soccer, Wrecking Crew, Pinball... amazing games :)

I grew up on. This game I'm 33 now man time fly

To defeat Mr. X he trained very hard with Terry Silver learning to sweeping
who else never nade it out alive after 2nd level XD
This game was pretty damn easy.
how the hell, man, tell us. Struggling to get over the third stage. Many times cant even get to the boss.

I hope that helps you wirti94.
Interesting thing that I actually beat the game a few weeks ago, not long after my first comment lol :D Thanks for the instruction anyway, man :D
Those guys are only running to hug you. Why would you beat them up? =(
At the end they gave him a hug form behind
Yer profile pic's scary 😨
They're trying to choke him
It's sexual harassment
Thomas and Sylvia have their own reality TV show in 2016. :)
@Reginald Marshall- My apologies to you, I was only joking. There is no reality show, that's why I placed a smile after my comment. I would watch it, if true.
Reginald Marshall Wheew, good.
RetroTube1978 what the fuck is wrong with you?! I literally thought you were being serious but i've been fooled by you!!! >:(
For an early NES game, Kung Fu does pack a good amount of gameplay punch for the limited amount of time it lasts.
I had this game as a kid. It might’ve been my first game after Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt. It blows my mind that this entire game can be beat in less than 10 minutes. I just spent tens of hours completing Jedi Fallen Order 🤣 Although, as a kid, 10 minutes might did feel like 10 hours.
Loved this game as a kid watching this video brought back all those memory's
The laughs would later be incorporated into Mike Tyson's Punch Out! while the boomerang sounds made it into the Zelda games.
For me these classic NES games are better then any current generation game.
Lol! The end.
That final boss fight was touch and go!
This game is from my childhood.
Less than 6:30 and still be considered as Longplay...! Sound legit to me
I mean well it's one of the shortest action games the NES ever had
lo más lindo de mi vida cuando los videojuegos si valían
In August 1986, Nintendo released an arcade machine called Playchoice-10 that contained up to ten popular NES titles. Amongst the eligible NES games, Kung Fu was also available on the arcade machine.
mine was called "spartan" i think, im not sure
That is the Japanese version.
pagal
pagal
j
SpArtan X
It was called Spartan X
One of the best best back ground music 🎶
Fuck the world Kung Fu for life smoke some weed
🎵 everyone was king fu fighting 🎵 those kicks were fast as lighting 🎵
Omg i remember playing that game when i was a kid, wow ty for the memories ☺
the man train at the end O_o
Me llene de recuerdos ,,, gracias amigo
That footkick is so hilarious :DD xDD :)
This game has potential to get a remake in the future.
The music when the game starts.... Catchy!
i love this game, and played it so much, but the only complaint i have about it, is that the game is to short!
Oh man! The flashbacks...On Funstation
I always loved this game when I was a kid. I was so proud of myself when I beat it.
I'm so glad I was one of the kids that waited awhile to pick this game up cheap at a garage sale in lieu of buying it for $40 when it came out.
Finally we can see the ending lol
God, I want to hook up my Nintendo, get this game and play it in the living in my house soon as well as the 4th coming Retro Duo Portable.
Probably one of the few times that the home port is better than the arcade.
Thomas for Smash Bros. anyone?
Steven Lee Can't, because he has less moves, Smash bros has more moves than that, it's either gave him a new game prequel of kung fu or they will make a movie about it.
I saw of a photo of this game on Instagram. One of the comments read "I can hear this!" Never forget these sounds!
Pretty sure this was the first video game I ever played, blew my mind back then.
I used to play this game for hours, over and over.
What alot of you didn't know that the actual real Thomas head is at the top screen. Yes he was a red hair Thomas.
i cannot believe it... i never has passed the 4th boss great job!!!! my friend!!!
3:16 A very good fight!💪💪
So the little guys don't flip on the NES port?

Uncle Roger Reimer said, "Everytime you hear the points add up after the end of a round, it sounds like a slot machine paying off money. (April 1989.)
I've so Angry memories with thi one
Thomas and Sylvia's happiness lasted less than 30 seconds
so this shit just loops for a high score?
i guess i was worse than i thought at 5 years old at video games, i never beat it
I remember playing this as kid. The game was so hard lol.
I love this game! Although it is very short...
oooooh!!!! i remember how PISSED i was after i beat this game as a kid.
Man this brings me back. I'm pretty sure those little leprechaun men could do a jump flip kick in the air, didn't see that action
LOL why does that one guy laugh when he dies
Reginald Marshall lol i know but who laughs when they go down lol
and so, the Beat 'em up genre was born...
I've looped it 5 times back in the 90's I've yet to see anyone beat 5 loops
That ending 👉🏻👌🏻😂
Wooow!!!! You really are a Kung Fu Master dude!!!
Oh God ! Good Memories ❤
I remember playing this game while I was a child
Good arcade port, smooth and crisp gameplay.
Damn they ran a train on him at the end!! 😱😱
Til he passed out 😆
Most people don't realize that this is an NES port of the arcade game Kung-Fu Master.
the evil villain laugh is so realistic
Thomas for the next Smash Bros.! (cuz I can't think of anyone else that would make sense)
That first level is when you're all coked up at the party and start getting violent, and everyone's trying to stop you.
We were obsessed by high score. :D
5:28 to 5:35 : Low kick like a boss !! xD XD XD XD
Wow nunca había visto el final del juego yo nunca pase del nivel tres siempre me madreaba ese pelón gordo, que tiempos nostalgia Pura :')
The playable character named "Keiji Thomas" to me has a strong resemblance to Brandon Bruce Lee as well as the final boss Mister X.
I remember playing this on a bootleg cartridge. That knife dude was difficut back then!
One of the best game ever done loves it
memories .. good times
Loved this as a kid, still no idea what the dragon counter is
lol this game is such a classic, i have always dodging it as a kid coz i thought "what a dumb game", but now i can appreciate its greatness.
i call this game "Help me Thomas" back then.. hahaha..
my favorite game!
Don't remember if this game came with the system but I do remember playing it. Never got far but it was cool at the time. Definitely a different experience from that on playing on emulators.
this was the first game I ever played
In the famicom version of this game is called Spartan X
I liked that one part where he kicked the guy. Oh and also when he punched someone else. :P
How is this game not on the NES online for the switch? It’s a black box launch title NES game yet they didn’t add it?
Wish they re-release on the Virtual Console.
There are probably licensing issues involved that oriented Nintendo from doing that. I believe Data East made the original arcade version of the game and they’re not around anymore.
2:26 Oh, that epic drama scene!
Then Thomas became the Shredder!
the only game I've played where punching and kicking a kid's face is so satisfying.
يا الله ذكريات اطفوله ❤️❤️❤️
I play that game since I was a kid like several times
This is the real kungfu.
Can’t believe none of the little green dudes tried to somersault on Thomas.
I was a game lover. I just completed this gamre 50 times when I was in junior kg class. .itwascery tough but I liked it
After seeing Game of Death I always wondered if Kung-Fu was meant to be based off of it.
This is SpartanX.
Kung Fu is different Game.
