Something of a classic, Yie Ar Kung-Fu is one of the early generation of versus fighting games. Players control martial arts master Oolong, facing off against a series of increasingly difficult opponents, all of whom fight with various weapons, different styles, and each require different strategies to beat.
What makes the game so damn hard is the fact it's impossible to land hits on an opponent unless the game allows it. Whether the enemy takes damage or not is down to a combination of animation frames and states the enemy is currently in, so you'll need to determine what these states are, then find a way to trigger and exploit them.
The game has no ending, and simply loops around once you defeat the enemy called 'Blues'. Each successive loop ramps up the difficulty, and it won't be long before you have to insert another coin. I played up to the end of the sender by loop to demonstrate the change in difficulty, then cut to the game over screen.

I’m not sure what made me happier... 1. Remembering this game. 2 googling random searches to try and remember the title 3. Finding said game and title. 4 going down memory lane watching this video. Or probably
5. Reading everyone’s comments and Seeing there are at least 45 other people in the world that feel exactly how I feel about this game!!! Love you all!!!
This was the first arcade game I ever played and I will never forget how much I loved it... but dang I sucked at it and used to rage too lol 😂. All the best everyone
I went through the same thing about 4 years back. Took a few minutes of googling to figure it out.😂
Walking to the corner store to watch the big kids show me how to beat tonfun was LIFE!!!
I could never pass the first stage, made me so mad 😂 I was also 10 and had the reaction time of a turtle
If you have a PS4, you could perhaps relive those memories. They actually have the game on PS4, and I was playing it recently. You'll have to look up 'Arcade Archives' to find it.
The title translates to "One Two Kung Fu", which would have been a perfect and much more memorable name for it in the West.
Man, I played this A LOT back on the day. One of the first arcades I ever played.
amen
Me too - in the original cabinet, no less! I remember seeing SF II and thinking "whoa, they copied a lot from Yie-Air Kung Fu, didn't they?" 😄
I´m too
January 1985-I’ve played yie ar Kung fu in many bowling alleys. It was intense!
The first arcade fighting game I ever played as a kid, and also the most challenging of them all. Very tough game.
I’ll never forget the times playing this game with my buddies. Twelve years old at the corner store in NE Philadelphia. Little corner store at Englewood and Loretto Sts.
Hearing that intro tune, I can smell the pizzeria where I played this in the 1980s 😊
I remember this game. I called it “Air Kung-do.”
It is like the great grandfather of 1x1 fighting games.
Karate champ
Street Fighter
Street Fighter II
Mortal Kombat…
And more.
This was a bit after karate champ. But since karate champ has the same movesets for both characters, we could Say that this one is the grandfather of the 2D fighting game genre
Played this a lot on Konami's Arcade Classics on the Nintendo DS. One of the most influential and famous fighting games of all time. It truly was ahead of its time. It was also the first fighting game to use actual fighting styles and have the announcer say perfect.
All good except the last: the "announcer" (the protagonist?) is saying "xie xie", which is Mandarin for "thank you".
1985 Yie Ar Kung Fu arcade game wasn’t ahead of its time it had the same or similar hardware (technology) as the 1983 Gyruss arcade game, 1984 Hyper Sports arcade game, 1984 Mickie arcade game, 1984 Road Fighter arcade game, 1985 Shao Lins Road arcade game, 1983 Track & Field arcade game
@@jasonlee7816 Arcade "game", as in software, not hardware. He's saying the game itself has some innovative aspects.
Oh the memories playing this game. I loved playing this game back then.
People need to accept that this 1985 8-bit game has better sprites then the first, 1987 Street Fighter.
And better gameplay😂
It's interrupted by another strike sound but @ 0:17 if you punch Buchu in the groin to counter his roundhouse, his eyes bug out and he remarks, "ni hao?"...literally him shouting "HELLO!?" in shock.
I loved this game as a kid. It was a nice step up from Karate Champ. Great memories.
On of the best fighting games in the 80s
The few quarters I could get my hands on in a day all went to this classic. The sounds alone brought me back to those times❤
I definitely played this a ton of times!!! Good times when I was a kid!!!
Easy times man, no responsabilities 🙂
Excellent job! I remember playing this at Mr. Hero's restaurant on Denison Avenue across from the old roller skating rink in Cleveland, Ohio. You have excellent strategies, especially against Tonfun & Blues. Thanks for great memories
This is one of my favorite RUclips videos EVER, all I can say is thank you SOOOOOO much!!! 💪🏾
This was the first arcade game i played. it was built into an arcade machine that you would have to sit inside of. Man this is my childhood lol. This and Commando were my jam.
An timeless arcade classic. I played this arcade version on my XBOX 360. I also finished it once on the Commodore 64. And you, AL82, longplayed 💪🦵✊👊 as the great Kung Fu warrior. 😺👍🕹️
What was the arcade version in?
I literally only got the 360 because I heard this was on it. By far my favorite game ever!!!
In the C64 version, Pole was brutal.
That double hand strike while doing the splits was one of the coolest moves in this game.
THANK YOU for this! This was my go to game back in the day! It’s hilarious to see how easily you destroy them now. Great stuff!
This and Karate Champ were the first fighting games I can remember
I feel like not enough people are noticing how hilariously perfect that thumbnail is. You nailed him right in the schmeckle, and that look of stunned horror his eyes tells us that the full sensation is only just now reaching his pain center.
Loved this game but could never get past tonfun. Watching this person beat him so easily just repeating the same move makes me wish I knew that back then. Really enjoy watching all these old games we use to play
I remember seeing this in 7-Elevens back in the late 1980s...Also the Goonies NES game and Tiger Road.
I loved this game back then, and I still play it in emulators :)
I could never get past Blues. I had no idea the game just looped endlessly 😂
Yeah, bit disappointed. I came here for the ending 🤦♂️
A lot of games back then looped endlessly.
It may not look like it, but this game was brutal in terms of difficulty. Pole alone could sweep you
I love this game.
What an awesome game, I used to walk to my local bowling alley whenever I had a couple of spare quarters to play this and Punch-Out!!
Wasn't this one of the first arcade games to feature a health bar? First played this at Lowestoft whilst holidaying in the Norfolk Broads (east England) in 1985!
I thought that was Kung Fu Master
@@robertrodriguez787 It was either that or Namco's "Dragon Buster"
Went on vacation with aunt and uncle one summer must have been 85 to Russian River in Northern CA, the little town of Gurrneville had an arcade, I'd spend hours there while my aunt would shop. Loved this game!
Took me back to 1985 man, thanks! I remember everything about this game and had been searching for it on RUclips with no luck because I couldn’t remember the exact name. This was our street fighter before Street Fighter! Memory Lane is such a wonderful place!
"Oolong wins. Flawless victory. Fatality." :)
Waaaaou , it reminded me my childhood , we alway had the fighting for this arcad game who’s the one who play the 1st 😂😂😂
Yo pasaba dos veces la tercera vez llegaba hasta Tonfun que Increíble Tonfun ,no moria
Loved this game back in the day. Wish the NES version was more like the arcade version.
Let's not forget the MSX version. That was as same as the NES. 😺
@@ArttuTheCat But better. The NES version is a rather mediocre port of the MSX version.
You are the master of Kung Fu Bro 👍
Brilliantly simple game. Would even be good in 2024!! I just wanted to put all my money in the arcade into this !! And ‘Gauntlet’!!
Be honest, who had no idea there was a second tier of fighters....I certainly didn't! But I couldn't even get past Nunchu
Thanks for the memories. Bought this for my C64 on release with pocket money.
I remember playing this when I was about 10 at the local take away/fish and chip store in New Zealand. We nick named the store the top shop because it was on a hill. We use to laugh because there were other shops with arcade games but they didnt have this one. 2 yrs later or so the street fighter with fighters Mike Gen Birdie thingd were changing.
Cuando era niño jugaba este videojuego
I remember putting a lot of 20 cent coins into this game
Used to play this , great fun n loved the music
I love this game so much I have the arcade board!!!
Well frakking played!! :D :)
Sene 1985 ortaokulu asar cafeye bu oyun için giderdik hey gidi günler hey
Best game ever
Oh, that's how you beat Blues. I played the arcade machine a ton as a kid and always thought he was impossible.
I played nes version back and the day now I can play this version in arcade archives
such a great game from 1984.
1985 was it's year of release. I remember it from a laundromat that is still around, but every game, except a Ms Pac Man with a dying monitor, are long gone.
Remember playing this at the bowling alley on base
Played this all the time in the hood at the candy store. I just always remembered after chain was where shit got interesting
Wow spent my whole pre teens & all my pocket money playing this game on arcade in the 80s
Thank youuuu!
My all time favourite arcade game followed by 1942 !!!!!!!!!
I own the record of that Konami Kung Fu game played at 3 hours straight on one quarter back in 1993 the last time I saw it in Chicago Illinois 59th place I haven't seen it since old school arcade game they are hard to find
I have play at this game in arcade room, very good remember 😃
Lol
Id rather play this than any of the modern 3D fighters. I loved this in the arcades and i wish i could turn back the time.
Fan was the toughest one for me to figure out. After that I could play on "one quarter" til I got bored.
Love this game ,My local grocery store had it spent many of quarters, Btw is the first boss the first version of E Honda?? (Street fighter??)
8:51 wait, you can wavedash in this game? Awesome!
What console/platform was this version of Yie Ar Kungfu made for ?
Blues is a nightmare!
This arcade game was fun, but challenging for me.
It was a tough game. I remember getting deep in them not being able to beat one of them.
Eu fiquei tão bom nesse Game que o dono da casa de fliperama devolvia a minha ficha e só deixava eu jogar de novo depois das outras crianças jogarem! 😂
Where can I to download this version of this game?
é muito a minha infância no fliperama da Praia Grande hehe
Looks so much nicer than the commodore 64 version...
Favorite arcade game growing up….
39 years ago
Konami should've first made the NES/MSX version,
with this Arcade version titled as *Yie Ar Kung-Fu II.*
It's not the same without the "biu biu biu biu...."
You know how many quarters I spent on this..
Nice
I could never get that ground kick right!
Played this game on ds, fan a tonfun were very hard, I reached Blues once, but he gets rough when his life is at half. A friend of mine was able to beat blues. I had the theory that Blues is Oolong's father
The game's plot is that Oolong's father died and he's fighting to avenge him
This was street fighter before street fighter was street fighter lol
ancient display input
KNEE HIGH!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Commodore 64. Poke was the hardest. ( no pun intended)
I never noticed this before, but when he fights the fan girl, the impact points are yellow instead of red like all of the others. I thought maybe it was a Japanese female modesty thing but when he fights the first woman, Star, the impact points are red also. Anyone have any ideas about this?
Hey, I just noticed something else too: After Stage 22 *ALL* of your remaining players are erased? Or did you edit out the part where you let all but one of your men get killed?
It's due to the fact the character is in the red dress, and yellow hit marks are more visible than red.
@@JohnshiBRPG Ah, may be true. Makes sense.
Played it on the GBA
10!!!
Muito phodas
Creo que este juego viera sido porteado a la máster system casi sin perdida graficas
The thumbnail 💀
Got in Trouble in my 8 the grade computer class for playing this instead doing my work
Played on C=16 ☺️
The Commodore 16 version felt like a playable beta of the arcade game. It does a valiant effort to look and play like the original, but the enemy AI was atrocious. I still consider it quite impressive for the C16 and imo, better than the C64 version because it doesn't run too fast with unfair AI.
Lol, that thumbnail
I have a rabid hateful grudge against this game. It was a part of a Game Boy Advance compilation cart and I raged so hard at it, I broke my first GBA's screen. Despite it being entirely my fault, I have never forgiven the game.
0:57 This hit is not in NES version
On this game I got one million and five hundred thousand on this
Shushee!!
Chun-Li's granma
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
아~그립다.
오락실 게임.
Sher-shin!!?????
谢谢 "Xièxiè" (Thank you!)
It's a little difficult to hear an arcade robotic voice to say "thank you" more clearly in Mandarin, during that time in the 80s.
Level 1 for enemy . It's easy
