Final Words To The Wise
-Don't punch or kick without a reason.  A true Kung-Fu Master
strikes quickly and carefully.
-Find your enemy's weak spot.  Learn what kind of blows hurst each
for the most.
-Don't battle snakes or spinning bombs.  The best you can do is
stay out of their way.
-No single enemy blow can kill you.  (You are a Master after all.) Each blow, however, does deplete your energy and makes you
weak.  The right blow at the wrong time CAN kill you.
-Watch your timer.  When it runs out one life is lost.


DEADLINE is Wednesday July 13th at 1:00 AM (Central Time, UTC-6)

Made it to the Giant.

This has got to be the worse port of this game.  The controls are horrible!

welcome to kung fu on 7800 bigbee. Good 1st score...  

Edited by JacobZu7zu7, Fri Jul 8, 2011 8:34 PM.

[JacobZu7zu7]

The controls sure are muddy... !

I feel like I'm fighting blood suckin vampires made of magnets. Get stuck to them and can't move!! Then they drain me of my life force...
ironic a kung fu master gettin killed by a rival just by both standing totally still.

Thank you.  I am familiar with the game on the NES and Arcade but not the 7800.  There are a lot of bad ports on the 7800, but in turn, a lot of great ones too.  I really like Ms Pac-Man and Galaga.

To get back on track, where is the jump kick on this game?  I really miss it!  I would also RUSH the bosses and hack them down.  Not as easy on the 7800.  I guess in that respect, it makes it much harder.

Finally made it past the Giant!  After I had a little confusion with the bees in round 4, I rocked straight through the Wizard.  I made it to Mister X, died, beat him the 2nd time I made it to him, then a Knife Man killed me before I could get out of the level!

Could I get a little more explanation of the Bonus points for this round?
NM.  I think I got it

U GANGSTA!!!

I agree with you about Galaga, awesome conversion.

I'm getting my 7800 soon, and cannot wait to make futile attempts to best these high scores.

[atomickneedrop]

the master of the flying guillotine!
I'm not sure if he fits the category.

[JacobZu7zu7]

Any asian or martial arts themes are fine @ atomic

If my internet connection hadn't turned to crap lately, I'd have been much more active here, posting more scores. As it is, this will be my only posting for this HSC round so if/when you reach my highscore I'll surely be beaten: 134660

I've rescued the girl on my final life and couldn't get past the stick man on the second round.


To make up for my absence, how about TWO kung fu masters?
