Yie-Ar Kung Fu

[Nateo]

Was this game ever ported to a console? I played it on MAME a little while back, and I love it.

Not in this country. It came out for the MSX computer format, and possibly a few computers in the US (C-64 I think). No consoles though.

Actually, it is available on one of those classic game collections for the Gameboy Advance. Of course, we're talking 20+ years after it's original release though.

Hi,

 

The MSX computers got 2 versions of this game released by Konami itself. And the first MSX Yie Ar game was later released for Famicom too (it was the first game Konami released for Famicom in Japan, back in 85).

 

But I wouldn't be surprised if some other classic console ends getting a port too....... :wink:

There's also countless Famicom Multi-Carts that have Yie Ar Kung Fu on them.

 

Hope this helps.

Yeah I thought the Famicom got it, but I wasn't 100% sure. I wasn't counting remakes BTW, that's why I didnt mention the greatest hits package.

Wouldn't anything other than an arcade MAME be a remake?

UK saw it released on all the main 8 bit computers we had which were C64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC.

 

Ive got the C64 and Spectrum versions on budget cassete.

 

Great game (but not as good as The Way of the Exploding Fist)

How faithful were the ports to the original arcade version? (Besides the obvious PlayStation port)
