"He's reached the stairs. Call off the chase." "But aren't we trying to stop him?" "I'm not being paid enough to chase a guy who can kill me in one kick."
First video game I ever beat. I was like 9 or 10. I ran around the house celebrating. I will always remember this game, especially because you take damage when they grope you.
Man, these sounds and images bring back so many memories. I had the First NES that came with Robotic ROB. This was the only other game I had besides Super Mario, Excitebike, Gyromite and Duck Hunt. It took me over a month to get to the point where I could get to the last level. (That was playing everyday afterschool almost all night) Back then, games were so new, we didn't have the muscle memory of having played a million type games. Our brains and bodies were getting use to it. I was 11. It looks extraordinarily simple now...but back in 1985...this was one of the hardest games to play!
When I was a kid my dentist's office had a room with free coin-op arcade cabinets to entertain us while we waited. This and Rush 'N Attack were frustrating enough that getting called for your actual appointment came as a relief. 😂
I used to play this as an arcade game. They had it in my local Pizza Hut. We would go there every Saturday after little league baseball double headers in the 80’s.
Wow so much this. Same thing. Pizza Hut around 15 minutes from the house. Had to cross over 6 lanes of traffic Frogger Style to get there. Personal Pan pizza, coke, and 2 quarters for the Kung Fu arcade game. Core memories.
I spent a college tuition in quarters trying to beat this game as kid when it first hit the arcade in the 80’s! 😂 So many great and unforgettable childhood memories that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world are connected to this video game. ❤️ Thank you for taking me back to that time! 🏆
A lot of people don't know that the arcade version was a tad bit different from the actual regular Nintendo version. I played both as a kid and enjoyed them.
On the first level when you fight stick man (boss), you can just walk all the way up until you’re right up against him. His stick can’t touch you at all, but you can’t touch him either. Just do low kicks until he backs up, then move up against him again. You can beat hime almost instantly. I learned that in Nintendo Fun Club Magazine (the free precursor to Nintendo Power).
i MISS nintendo power! actually I miss all gaming magazines. getting a gamepro, nintendo power or whatever was the best part of going to the grocery store back in the day! Might get a new demo disc or two
One of the greatest days in my life, was when I finally kicked the crap out of the boss. Yeah, my life is that sad, but in my defence when I did complete this game for the first time I was only about 32 years old.
This reminds me of the movie Road House... You can solve all your problems by kicking them. 😄 And those generic purple guys... they just want a hug. 😪😆
When your army of minions, stick swingers, knife throwers, attack midgets, potted dragons, and Captain Boomerang all fail, just get Shaquille O'Neal to come in to kick 'em in the face!

@@bbqchucken Wouldn't it be great if there were a reboot of Chakan released with a modern game engine? I'd even be satisfied if the Sega Genesis version was remastered, and they left it at that. 👍
This was the first NES game I ever bought. I remember the jump kick taking off half of any bosses life bar (except the magician on level 4 whose head would fall off but take no damage) but the Giant on level 3 would lay the smack down with his next hit if it didn't kill him. The final boss would sometimes block it though. I also remember getting an extra life at 50,000 score, then another at 150,000.
You can attack the pots on level 2 before they land to stop them from spawning snakes, and the dragons can be KO'd before they breathe. Also, I seem to remember that the level 4 boss can be damaged by hitting the moths.
Thomas: Sylvia, there’s no way I can save you. They have children ready to throw down on the third floor and Quasimodo on the fourth floor. You and I had a good run, I guess.

Helped me beat Ninja Gaiden
