The noise when the opponent hits you just enhances the frustration of being battered . As a kid Pole was one of the worst! When he got that thing jammed under your chin and took a whole power bar down …. It was a joystick smasher !
LOL, So true man, I could never beat Blues at the end, He always got you in that leg sweep & you we're jammed... The Python Joystick I had went flying many times in anger!
I was a 4 year old kid when I played this game and finished many times. Pole really was the worst. Then I finally found a way to beat him by jumping from corner to corner and kicking
Of all the games we had for the C64 back in the day, this one meant the most to me. The soundtrack is amazing and I swear sounded better than the arcade version. Still gives me chills today. Great memories.
Ah, those were the days... Played Yie Ar KF at C64, watched Karate Kid, read Winettou... When boys were boys, with a fair chance to grow into the honest men and girls were natural beauties... Somehow, despite such a little experience, it still all made sense back then. Childhood in 80s - such a distant, yet so dear, memory.
This is so much childhood nostalgia for me. I had this music when i was a kid, now im 19 and i finally found it again through my father. Nowadays we have the C64 original and sometimes we still play the games together. I love you pops, never forget.
One thing I liked about this game as a kid.....when you defeat the two lady opponents they kind of lie sideways gracefully, but all the guys have to land in "diaper position", showing their bottoms and kicking their legs in the air! 😄
Oh man, so many memories. This got so hard at Fan. I remember being woken up one morning by my brother screaming "I BEAT BLUES! I BEAT BLUES! I BEAT BLUUUUUUES!"
Somehow, the game action seems a lot faster than I remember. Then again, it's been 25 years since the last time I plugged my C64 in, so maybe my memory is faulty. Still, this was one of my favorite games for the C64 (and the intro music by Martin Galway is absolutely epic.) I absolutely _hated_ "Pole", the 4th stage. Mess up even once, and he'd stunlock you to death. "Blues" did that a lot, too.
Commodore 64 was connected to the safes in the arcade, we used to play for a while, the red light would flash near the end of the time, I beat Blues 10 times in a row, I forgot how many coins I threw ❤️❤️❤️❤️
great game, I had real good ways to the cheese the nuncha,pole,chain, and sword fights using just the jump kick(up+fire) and foot kick(down+fire). Many times I found Fan more difficult than blues.
loved it first gane I finished and replayed many many times oh good memorys I hounestly dont know how did this channel apear on my youtube search ...maybe algoritam pushed it cause i got retro gaming and now new c65 channels subscribed so maybe cause of that but yie ar kung-fu I was lke what!!! sub like thank you for doing this love from Serbia
Played this game on Msx, I always prefer the MSX version. However, it’s a totally different game from the arcade. Give a lot of credit to the c64 version for trying to stay close to the arcade version. The title screen music is epic.
Yup, I'm glad I had a MSX back in the day, worth it just for the great cartridge games Konami put out. But you can't beat the C64's SID chip for music though, I used to go round friends houses just to hear the loading music, jaw dropping
@@JimmyCrackCorn72 the cartridge Konami games on the MSX were epic. Now we are talking some serious vintage gaming. I fell in love with the komani cartridge games with Nemesis, Knightmare, and penguin adventure. The music in these games were phenomenal. The c64 games are good just I felt they were not the same on the MSX. The MSX games used cartridge and came with the sound chip to give it the extra boost as far as sound effects and music. C64 is a very capable machine, but didn't have the strong following in the overseas like the msx.
Ahh 9 minutes & 3 ads later lol. I remember playing this in the arcade, Ah the arcade has feeble as stage 5, a walking guy from either side of screen & 11 was blues, nuncha was always a pain, Yeah opponent is usually only half as hard after a death (ko)
I don't think my brother and i could ever get past Club. Ive never seen most of these characters. Looks like Blues could beat the final boss in Zelda 2 easily. I wondered how Blues fought...did he attack you with a saxophone? 🎷😵
As a kid, I was okay with the first 3, then pole and chain would repeatedly beat me, until I came up with a cheesy way to beat them, jump into them and hit them with punches and kicks in whatever direction they try to leave. I think Tonfun would out cheese me and I never got to Blues The same strategy worked wonders in the second game as well - which I was even worse at (I was somewhere between 8 and 10 at the time.) The strategy however allowed me to beat the second game, even with all the lightning bolts!
I played this when I was 6. I have been looking for it ever since. I'm 39 and I finally found this.❤️
I play this a lot too I got so good at it at some point that I made more extra life then I die ... but god it took my forever to win over the pole guy
So unlike Bono, you finally found what you were looking for.
The noise when the opponent hits you just enhances the frustration of being battered . As a kid Pole was one of the worst! When he got that thing jammed under your chin and took a whole power bar down …. It was a joystick smasher !
Yes! Pole was the worst. When I found out you could trap him with the toe stomp he was toast though.

LOL I remember. That pole in the jaw spam

Excellent game. Fond memories. One of the first games me and my brother played to our beloved C64.
Same for me . “Load”
Press play on tape ..

@@HarvSchmerzenthank you, stay healthy and remember to show love to your parents.
Pole! This is one of the first and hardest games I fell in love with. The stunlocks could be infuriating lol
This made me smile , simpler times .
POLE !!
I watched the older kids play this in the arcade. I never had a C64 😕

The music came on and I was a kid again and that blue 🥲 I almost cried
Yie Ar Kung-fu, the finest stun-lock simulator ever made.
Magnetic Fields 4 by Jean-Michel Jarre. 😂
This game introduced me to JMJ 😎
Oh man, so many memories. This got so hard at Fan. I remember being woken up one morning by my brother screaming "I BEAT BLUES! I BEAT BLUES! I BEAT BLUUUUUUES!"

💯😤
I just like the fact that the intro music is just a C64 rendition of Magnetic Fields part 4 by Jean Michel Jarre.
Excellent gameplay bro 😎🤟.
Memories 😢.
I remember it took me a long time to finish that game xDDD, Pole was always most irritating
I couldn't find this version of the game that I first met and fell in love with at the arcade in 1985. I couldn't find this version 😢😢😢
I was just playing this last night on my C128. Great game.
I used to lie at 7 year old that I trained whip, thanks to this game lmao
Best soundtrack ever
9:15 medic, we have a victim of disco fever
Oh yes..I remember playing this game in summer ’86 with my friend. Memories..
Love it... That tune ;-)

Blues! Sweep the Leg!!!
Yes Sensei!
While the guy in white did a John Travolta disco stance! Ahahahaha!

Fantastic game great memories playing it back in the day
I had this for something else, can't remember the console.
NES? I had it there but it was a bit different.
@@Deru0602 Dos is what I had it on.
I was looking for it on google image.
All version are slightly different by the looks of it.
Nyip nyip nyip nyip lol

I Had This Game So Much Fun I Sure Miss My C64 Fun Times Great Memories!!!!!!
Ah memories of loading this from tape.
1 of 2 games I could never complete in the arcades, always found it weird how it never had any buttons only 2 joysticks.
you are thinking of karate champ. Yie are Kung Fu has buttons.
blues is always the toughest opponent to beat cause he's so quick
Jean Michel Jarre 😍 Magnetic Fields 4
Seems JMJ was popular in arcade games back then. Magnetic Fields pt 2 was in BombJack as i recall.
@@Ass_Burgers_Syndrome it was 😊
@@damirko06 I could be thinking of the c64 version though. Can't remember.
@@Ass_Burgers_Syndrome the C64 version definetely has it
so the score wraps at 999,995 - must be written as Binary Coded Decimal. All that effort of a longplay and only 104,600 recorded. ROFL.
ahh that bass
killer intro
Why the game take so much time to Begin?is like a loading?
@Valis77 aahhh ok thanks!!!

hard to believe konami made this. Holy cow how times change sometimes for the worse lol
I don't think my brother and i could ever get past Club. Ive never seen most of these characters.
Looks like Blues could beat the final boss in Zelda 2 easily.
I wondered how Blues fought...did he attack you with a saxophone? 🎷😵
Never could beat Blues...
Meu cassete como vim para aqui. Kkk

9mins of music 😳
Welcome to the old days
I used an exploit where I just pushed the joystick down and then mashed the fire button repeatedly. I could defeat all enemies this way.
jump + footstomp, jump + footstomp, jump + footstomp, jump + footstomp, jump + footstomp, jump + footstomp,
@@1SevenCirclesDesign it doesn’t work in the arcade version. It tried it out.
POLE IS VERY DIFICULT!!
Wow nice game
Buenardo
Ugggh press play already
🎼🎵♥️🇵🇱
It's okay. Not the best port.
@When you read the comments I will be there . I can't remember.
Blues was irritating I remember
