Time flies. When I realized it, the game that I used to have fun playing with my friends or got angry playing alone like Yie Ar Kung-Fu or in our country we call this game Ai Ya Kung-Fu or the fighting game with familiar music that many people probably played on the cartridge included with the Famicom. January 10, 1985, marked the 40th anniversary of the release of Yie Ar Kung-Fu on the MSX, which was the first time it was put on a home game console. Let's go back in time and look at the story of this game together.
The origin of the game Yie Ar Kung-Fu is inspired by the martial arts films of the late Hong Kong star Bruce Lee. The main character of the game is named Oolong, who imitates the physical appearance of Bruce Lee, who participated in the historical Kung Fu tournament to fulfill his father's last wish. Oolong participates in both arenas, with the goal of winning the cup and the throne with the title of Grandmaster, to honor the memory of his late father. That is the story of the game that many people may not have known before.
And because of the popularity of this game on the arcade, Yie Ar Kung-Fu was ported to home consoles like the MSX and Famicom, which were very different from the arcade version. Even the character names were changed from Wulong to Lee to match Bruce Lee, and there were only 5 opponents left.
The first fighter is Wang, who uses a familiar weapon as a baton. The second fighter is Tao, who has the ability to spit fireballs from his mouth. The third fighter is Chen, who uses a chain pendulum in combat, and most people end up fighting with this character. The next fighter is a beautiful girl named Lan. The last fighter is Fu, who has a speed charge move and is the last fighter we have to fight against.
Yie Ar Kung-Fu was a great commercial success, especially in Europe. It entered the UK software sales charts at number two, behind Capcom’s Commando. Yie Ar Kung-Fu went to number one in the charts in January 1986, and number one again in February, and number two in March. It went on to be the best-selling game of 1986 in the UK. In our country, it was released on a 66-in-1 cartridge, or the familiar 1000000 ni 1. For those who’ve never played it, it’s an early fighting game that uses timing techniques very different from the games of that era. If you’re interested, try finding it and playing it. You’ll see that the old games are just as fun to play as they are to play.
