I probably havent seen this in 30 years when it was still an arcade game. I remember when in doubt, you just spammed that low kick lol. The 80's were the best.
Wow! Back in 1985, I would walk to the bus station on my lunch break from work to play this game over and over again. If I had known there was never any real ending to it, I could have saved myself quite a few dollars in quarters.
I remember this game from the "Silver Ball Arcade!" Located on the campus of The Ohio State University. The arcade was between 2 restaurants. "The Greek Village" gyro shop and "Subway" sandwich shop! 'This was the golden age of arcade games, 1984! "Purple Rain" was the hottest movie in the theater!! There was also a sit-down version of the Nintendo game "Gum Shoe.” My best friend and I, at the time (Steve Davis), used to cut high school and hang out there all the time! "Kung Fu Master" was hard and this was when quarters were hard to come by! Great Memories! Good Times!
I remember my dad holding up a sound recorder to the arcade machine as I played this at the arcade to listen to the music again. He loved the music so much as well, such an amazing time in arcade history.
Christmas 85 and my cousins had gotten a NES. I spent the night and we played this and Duck Hunt damn near all night eating Lil Debbie Star Crunch cakes. Good shit back in the day.
I still have the game on old NES. I was so hook on this came out during my child hood days. Sure reminded me of Bruce Lee with all the Kung fu battle cry. Looks like they were going with the tower from the Game of Death movie when you look at some of the enemies in it. Thanks for the upload of the arcade version of this game metalex1224. I can not wait to see more of your awesome videos. Keep up the good work.
We had a convenience store/pizza place just up the road when I was a kid. We would walk there to pick up pizza. Our parents would probably get arrested nowadays for "neglect" for letting us walk there alone. We would get a handful of miniature Reese's for five cents each. The store owner kept them chilled and we would take turns playing this game. We used to be able to beat it on just one quarter, sometimes twice. Funny the trivial things you remember and the important stuff you forget. I miss that place. They had amazing pizza. Haven't tasted anything quite like it since.

'This was the golden age of arcade games, 1984! "Purple Rain" was the hottest movie in the theater!! There was also a sit-down version of the Nintendo game "Gum Shoe", and, "10 Yard Fight."

Good Times!
Over 40 years ago I use to watch my older brother mesmerized, playing this game in the arcade at the Presidio Army Base in San Francisco while our parents shopped in the PX. He was really good at it. What he could do with just 1 quarter. He would offer to let me play but I would just get killed so I didn’t accept often. It was more fun watching him kick ass. This really brought back memories of good times
I remember working at London Gatwick airport when I first left school in 1985. This game was there and gauntlet. The sound takes me right back to the mid 80s
This was a revolutionary side scroller game when it came out! Seeing at the arcade and on my friend's Commodore 64 and it looked pretty much like the arcade game!
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American. Male. I was in 6th grade, and watched older guys play this game. Even to this day, I can't STAND the noise when you get hit by a 2nd or 4th floor object! So loud! I thought the first floor guy looked like a mad school principal! My favorite to defeat was the third floor guy: Running jump kick (Wo-yah!!), kneel down, PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH (not kick kick kick, because punches did MUCH more damage to the 3rd floor foe), and knock him out!!
Played this game endlessly at the corner shop when I lived in Northcliff, Johannesburg back in 1986. 20 cents a game and such fun - loved the old arcade games. I have a knock off version of this on my iPhone bought from the Apple Store called ‘Mister Kung Fu’. It’s decent but can’t replace the old lollipop joystick and buttons you could smash!
Oh My God, when I remmeber how was the feeling that childhood time on age 12 during the palying games, the music on the games, it's just undescribable. I was completely drunk mentaly and emotinaly :) Now days all this realistic 3D games simply cannot awake that feelings not even a 5 % :)
If I could have a good size man cave I would get all the classics to remember my childhood. This game for sure along side PACMAN, FROGGER, QBERT , Donkey Kong, Dig Dug, Galaga, Spy Hunter, and Double Dragon... Don't get me wrong today's games are better but I'll still the classics any day
Wu-Dah! I had watched *Bruce Lee's* films for years before this arcade game appeared. It never occurred to me it was anything other than a digitised copy of his Kiai stylings back then. Great game, lots of memories.
i played this alot was a great game back in the day,use to play this at the grocery store around the coroner from my house. they get a new game every so often and i use to sit in that store playing these games for hours.
I just recently realized this is the arcade version of Kung Fu on the NES which is one of my favorites. I found an arcade place in Chicago that has this cabinet and I’m excited to finally get a chance to play this!
Toda vía están en los multijuego yo rescate dos veces y llegue hasta el último piso del tercer rescate te imaginas como estaba el público atrás mío viendo ese récord y muchos más juegos
Gosh!!!!! This game brings back so many wonderful memories!!! One of all times bestest games, along with Galaxy.. I would play it over & over!!! Same as Galaxy
Old video game is...BEST...video game. Side scrolling beat 'em ups...it all started right here. Watching the game play here, it never occurred to me to use level 2 as a chance to rack up easy points. Those dragons are 2K each! We always just kept moving right as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Again, just a classic game with great action, simple yet effective controls with crisp colors and soothing music.
It turned my blood cold remembering the sphincter tightening collision detection on pretty much everything. Still loved it though and only ever completed it on MAME!
4:09 He GETS it! So many people would approach him, kneel down and kick kick kick, but getting that running jump kick (Wo-yah) in first, did damage, then kneel down and PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH, because punches did more damage than kicks!
At the end their happiness didn't last long because someone threw a knife at them while they were hugging, so basically they were happy for about 2 seconds
Lol I never had enough quarters or time to make it very far on this game . It was on the ferry ride from Vancouver Island to Vancouver which took about 1hr30mins and I was dependent on Mom and Dad for the quarters of which they doled out sparingly depending on their moods at the time 😂 So I never even saw the really big guy 😱lol
I've had saved Silvia 3 times and didn't make it forth time. I mean those days in the playstores. Not on MAME. One of the best games that you really have to have skills.
@@pow9606 actually, I find the graphics holding up really well. They could release this game now in 2022 calling it a new game and it can pass as a 2022 game especially for mobile/phone gaming
I had a memory too like others from this arcade game in 2008 circa i was bo bought a super mario machine or sega nes/genesis in that day the game machine's door broked on that day while playing this game kung fu master
In Poland, we used to call the 4th Boss "Baba Jaga" (which means Jaga The Witch, literally Polish "baba" has three meanings: an old ugly woman, a poor woman from a village or just a woman, but very nastily saying. Btw in Poland you pronounce Jaga as "Yaga", we've got other letters for writing what like english "J" sounds (it's our "dż")😉
Played this at age 7 while trying to impress a girl at a roller rink then went home facing backwards in the old station wagon, lol. I never liked not facing front in a vehicle.
It's amazing that after 40 fricken years, these sounds are still familiar.
That's the truth, especially this game!!
I probably havent seen this in 30 years when it was still an arcade game. I remember when in doubt, you just spammed that low kick lol. The 80's were the best.
Spam the low kick! That's all I could think of as soon as this thing popped up. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
We even “practiced” the low kicks at school with “whadda!” 😂.

Was it ever about winning?
I never 'won' Bomb Jack, but boy did I ever got hours and hours of great time playing a great game in my youth
At least you had fun and was in your own world
@kurtdrexler9888*too*
Same here went up all 5 floors twice❤ used to love it
This game never gets old
Best sounds, best music. This game rocked the beat back in the 80s, 90s

Bloody hell that brings back memories to the fairgrounds and the chip shops back in the days sick!!!!!!!!!!!!
ash hussain Yup. I got in trouble so many times by my parents for spending money at the fair arcade on this game.
I remember working at London Gatwick airport when I first left school in 1985. This game was there and gauntlet. The sound takes me right back to the mid 80s
One of the greatest coin-ops of all time.
Best part about this video isn’t the gameplay, it’s reading the comment section full of people recalling memories of this game
Ofcourse, that's the point.
It warms my heart and makes me smile reading them. Its so sweet~
When I wanna feel my childhood... I started watching these games
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up!

Amazing memories of jostling for position to get a good view of an older kid crushing this game at an arcade.
Loved this game... Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting!
Played this game endlessly at the corner shop when I lived in Northcliff, Johannesburg back in 1986. 20 cents a game and such fun - loved the old arcade games.

I searched for this game
i remember playing this as a child
nostalgia pure
spent many of hours playing this back in the day,loved it
Remember playing this in the local corner shop as a teenager, could play it for hours 👌
人を大切しろ!愛新持栄隊総館超久保田勉ゲーム新大臣!会社改革大臣!仕事対策大臣!安全・自殺対策大臣!規制緩和大臣!地方活性化大臣!平和維持!
That 12-bar blues song motif was previously used in another Irem arcade game: Moon Patrol (1982).

+metalex1224 I felt the same either bout this one or Legend of Kage, Double Dragon and King of Boxer too
+metalex1224 You're not the only one my friend.
+John Sabp yeah rose tinted specs here.
+metalex1224 it's a time machine. :)
Used to love these old games! I used to be really into Dynamite Dan and Rambo : )

When he does a jump kick, doesn't it sound like he's shouting "What up?"
Wu-Dah!
I had watched *Bruce Lee's* films for years before this arcade game appeared.
It never occurred to me it was anything other than a digitised copy of his Kiai stylings back then.
Great game, lots of memories.
And when Thomas punches, he says “Attack!”
i played this alot was a great game back in the day,use to play this at the grocery store around the coroner from my house. they get a new game every so often and i use to sit in that store playing these games for hours.
This game was also known in Japan as “Spartan X”.
I remember playing this in an airport of all places and thinking was the coolest game ever
I just recently realized this is the arcade version of Kung Fu on the NES which is one of my favorites. I found an arcade place in Chicago that has this cabinet and I’m excited to finally get a chance to play this!
This is also the original version.
Cómo olvidar lo que ya no volverá uno de mis juegos favoritos de aquella época.
Si vuelve y está presente,,,, en Chile aún venden consolas árcade!!
Toda vía están en los multijuego yo rescate dos veces y llegue hasta el último piso del tercer rescate te imaginas como estaba el público atrás mío viendo ese récord y muchos más juegos
Haha, I remember playing this in the arcade and dying every single time when the guy grabs you about 10 seconds in... I was young but still!
Playing now online. Very easy to get caught up in the beginning. Once one gets you, it's panic mode. Then the throwing knives begin.
No matter how fast I was and how hard I tried to time everything I could never finish this one. Like most of them, lol.
3rd floor was the easier
Good memories, nicely done. Man, that stage with the Magician is short, I used to be good at avoiding the killer moths in that level.
Hardest game I've ever played back in the day 🕹️
You got that right kung fu master will never get old I'm the greatest game player of all time
and this over and over again for the eternity
Gosh!!!!! This game brings back so many wonderful memories!!! One of all times bestest games, along with Galaxy.. I would play it over & over!!! Same as Galaxy

Kung Fu master !!!! Nossa joguei muito na minha infância ! ☺️☺️☺️👏👏👏
Used to love this game ✔️
Nugget!
My best friend and I blew about $500 dollars on this game over the course of 2 years at the local 7-11
I first played this as an nes rental back in the 80s lol. Still fun. But im glad this wasn't an xmas gift. Gets old quick.
One of my favorite NES games. I used to go the arcades as a child, never ever saw this game so had no idea the NES game was based on an arcade game.
Its so nice of them to invite you over to be entertained. 😁
Saudades da infância vendo esse clássico
Verdade, gastei várias fichas nesse jogo quando era criança!
For a moment I thought I was in the arcade watching other kid playing waiting for my turn.
So that’s also where Kim’s famous shouts also come from outside of it just being a FOTNS reference.
Just beautiful work Nishiyama
This game was in every pizza store here in Puerto Rico. Great memories 🥹
This game has such addicting sounds and music its like dopamine rush hearing it again
Man we used to play the hell out of this game back in the day it kinda reminds me of the Michael Jackson Moonwalker game too
The enemy never hit him, they grabbed and hugged him and somehow that hurt him.
This one was so much fun, I played endless Kung Fu at the laundromat as a kid.
This game also came out on the NES with Nintendo as it's publisher.
Yes and it was amazing. As simple as it was, back then it was so fun to play
Not only the publisher, but also the developer. It’s a fine version, even if it’s a bit lower in fidelity to the arcade
It turned my blood cold remembering the sphincter tightening collision detection on pretty much everything. Still loved it though and only ever completed it on MAME!
Remember when towns had to close down arcades because they became havens for dealing dime bags. Arcades were outlawed!
Level 4 is the biggest pain. Those bees! That disappearing guy!
dang only video game where you get to fight michael jackson and hulk hogan
I could clear every level on this game, it’s the best arcade game ever ❤
this game was the best game invented back in the 80s,Silverdale shops Hamilton New Zealand the Hood
Oh my ... the amount of coins my friends and I spent on this game at the local burger joint when I was a teen :)
Main dude sounds like Kenshiro in this version.
4:09 He GETS it! So many people would approach him, kneel down and kick kick kick, but getting that running jump kick (Wo-yah) in first, did damage, then kneel down and PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH, because punches did more damage than kicks!
its funny how all can be defeated with just a hit in the balls :)
Yeah like on mortal Kombat how Johnny cage punched gorrs big ass in his big balls😂😂😂😂😂😂
At the end their happiness didn't last long because someone threw a knife at them while they were hugging, so basically they were happy for about 2 seconds
Somehow I always mixed this up with Shinobi in my memories. Happy days!
Wow is it just me or is the NES version of this game way better than the arcade version?
You guys had it easy, the tight wad in our arcade had it on the hardest setting straight away, bastard. We never got to see the game completed.
+Scanini No, I set up the games on hard options mostly.
Everybody that's watching is my age
.. great childhood💪🏾✌🏾👌🏾
Kung fu master is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and STUNNINGLY AMAZING
Bloody hell I remember rinsing all my pocket money on this game on holiday at Weston-Super-Mare pier when was I was 9 😂
Lol I never had enough quarters or time to make it very far on this game . It was on the ferry ride from Vancouver Island to Vancouver which took about 1hr30mins and I was dependent on Mom and Dad for the quarters of which they doled out sparingly depending on their moods at the time 😂
So I never even saw the really big guy 😱lol
This cost me many weeks of pocket money 💰 when I a young teenager after school ….played @ my local swimming baths
I spend sooooooooooo much money on this game , when i was 14 ;-) Still love it !
Funny how in the end, the tied lady frees her own self and the knife thrower gets frozen :D
Awesome game , i sure spent a lot of tokens in it , I am going to order it for the nes soon ...👍👍👍👍
Ah yes good times...so many quarters lost haha..Even bought this for the Nintendo back in the day
Amazing game to play,out of all the kungfu games,this Kung Fu Master,would be the one I picked,👌👌👌
Belleza yo siempre la rescataba dos veces y el tercer rescate el que la tenía secuestrada ya No lo podía matar el ese muy duro
Every time he punches sounds like he's saying what's up
This game was a classic on n.e.s but this version is the actual arcade version..nice.
Oh. Thats how you beat fireball guy. At least i can die in peace now.
This might be one of the only games where after you defeat the final boss you can still be killed.
I've had saved Silvia 3 times and didn't make it forth time. I mean those days in the playstores. Not on MAME. One of the best games that you really have to have skills.
is the video game of the burce lee movie game of death
Wooda! That will always be my fly-kick noise.
Better than any games today
It's because everything about the game is sooooo great. The only thing that can date is the graphics.
@@pow9606 actually, I find the graphics holding up really well. They could release this game now in 2022 calling it a new game and it can pass as a 2022 game especially for mobile/phone gaming
This is the fighting game that started for the fighting games genre
One of the best arkade game ever created.
I'd play this game in Los Angeles California on Broadway Blvd in a video game Arcade store back in the early 1980's
Love the music
I said! I said! I said! Whut up!?
I remember this game in Joe Healys mullingar back in 80's & early 90,s
Used to love playing this in the big arcade upstairs at Blackpool.. mid 80s..happy memories
I had a memory too like others from this arcade game in 2008 circa i was bo
bought a super mario machine or sega nes/genesis in that day the game machine's door broked on that day while playing this game kung fu master
pause at 5:33.....the 4th boss gives thomas the middle finger when he dies :P
