Yie Ar Kung-Fu.
Yie Ar Kung-Fu, an arcade fighting game by Konami, revolutionized the genre with its unique fighting styles and health meter system. Play as Oolong, and battle against various martial arts masters.
Yie Ar Kung-Fu, a trailblazing game developed by Konami in 1984, is renowned as one of the foundational pillars of the modern fighting game genre. Drawing inspiration from Bruce Lee's martial arts films, the game centers around the character Oolong, who embodies the electrifying spirit of Lee's fighting style. Unlike Karate Champ, Yie Ar Kung-Fu introduced a fantastical, high-paced action, with each character possessing distinctive special moves and high jumps. The game's visionary introduction of a health meter system, replacing the traditional point-scoring system, was a game-changer for the genre. The game was a commercial triumph, earning the top spot for the highest-grossing arcade conversion kit of 1985 in the U.S, while also enjoying success in Japan and Europe. Oolong battles a diverse array of opponents, each with a unique appearance and fighting style. Enjoy the thrill of executing up to 16 different moves, and experience the satisfaction of depleting your opponent's health meter to achieve a knockout.
