Yie Ar Kung-Fu is a classic 1985 fighting game developed by Konami for the NES. As one of the foundational titles that shaped the fighting genre, it casts you as the martial artist Oolong. You must battle through a gauntlet of opponent masters, each armed with unique weapons and fighting styles, to prove yourself the ultimate fighter.
How to Play
The objective is to deplete your opponent’s health bar before they defeat you. Use the directional pad to move, jump, and crouch. Combine different directions with the A and B buttons to execute a variety of high, mid, and low punches and kicks.
Tips
- Watch for patterns: Each opponent relies on specific attack patterns. For example, jump over Star’s shurikens and close the distance quickly.
- Exploit reach: Against weapon-wielding enemies like Pole, use low kicks to strike safely under their long-range attacks.
- Corner your opponents: Pushing an enemy to the edge of the screen limits their mobility and makes it easier to land consecutive hits.
