  • Kung-Fu Master was the first beat 'em up game. It was the video game equivalent of Bruce Lee's Game of Death, and it was groundbreaking in 1984. It is cited as the inspiration for subsequent successes like Double Dragon, Final Fight, Captain Commando, and Streets of Rage.

    One of many great arcade games from the mid 80s, the best era of the arcades. A time when if you was good you could spend hours on a game with just one coin. Towards the 90s regardless of skill, your game was over in a few minutes with a push towards continues where you was encouraged to shovel coins in.
