THE GAME

Yie Ar Kung-Fu is a text of skill development in the
traditional Martial Arts. It features Oolong in his
attempt to become a Grandmaster in the ancient
skills in honour of his father, a kung-fu master
before him.
Your ultimate goal is to become a grand-master but
to achieve this you must defeat a variety of
opponents each more deadly than the last. They are
armed with differing skills and weapons and must be
overcome with a combination of 16 different attack
moves.
The controls are by means of joystick or keyboard 
which is user definable) and the game has a one or
two player option.
The fun and excitement of Kung-Fu is about to begin
as you face your foe. Your honourable opponents
are...
BUCHU - A huge kung-fu fighter who can attack by
flying through the air.
STAR - A beautiful girl warrior who is expert at
throwing deadly stars or SHURIKEN.
NUNCHA - Master of the NUNCHAKU - beware his
reach.
POLE - Attacks with the ancient rod or BO.
CLUB - ...This fighter is armed with a shield to deflect
your blows and a club to strike back.
FAN - Another female adversary, this time an
exponent of the NINJAFAN.
SWORD - Sword carrying opponent, a firesome and
deadly foe.
TONFUN - Skilled in the art of fighting with flailing
sticks of TONFA.
BLUES - The Kung-Fu master himself, has all the skills
and moves of Oolong, but faster. If you can win this
final battle you truly will become a Grand Master.
