KUNG-FU

THE WAY OF THE EXPLODING FIST™

You have been kidnapped and taken to a small island off Okinawa, Japan. The head of the largest remaining Ninja sect has summoned you to fight or die. As a Kung-Fu master, you must use all your skills in order to survive.

You are alone in the arena. An elite inner cadre of the dark master's fighting force will challenge you. Each will use the most advanced techniques of the martial arts - flying kicks, jabs to the face and somersaults - in order to destroy you. If they succeed, the Ninja will have triumphed over the ancient Kung-Fu masters.

But you must not fail. You know THE WAY. You have not been corrupted by the dark master's twisted use of Kung-Fu as a weapon of destruction. The battle lines are clearly drawn, the rest is up to you.

KUNG-FU: THE WAY OF THE EXPLODING FIST is the finest Karate fighting game available. It features:

  • One or Two player action
  • Oriental background music
  • Realistic sound effects
  • More than 15 different moves, including somersaults and roundhouse kicks
  • Extremely smooth animation, with dazzling graphics and fast game play
