Game objectives

  • Emulator used: FCEUX 2.0.3-interim
  • Completes the game as fast as possible
  • Takes no damage, and gets a perfect completion

NOTE: This fm2 file crashes my fceux. If it crashes yours too, remove the "comment" lines in the file and try again. The documentation at FM2 wasn't exactly clear about the format of the comment lines, and my FCEUX inserted none by default, so I couldn't be sure.

Comments

Yie Ar Kung-Fu is a martial arts game that used to be distributed on many pirate multigame carts in the hot era of NES. The plot, I guess, goes like this: Beat five Kung-Fu champions, then beat them again, ad infinitum.

There are five bosses in this movie:

  • Wang. He uses a wooden stick as his weapon.
  • Tao. He shoots fireballs from his mouth.
  • Chen. He uses a chain which he whips around.
  • Lang. She's a kunoichi, I suppose. She throws throwing stars.
  • Mu. He can fly like Raiden.
Additionally, there's a bonus stage.

I used a Lua script to create the majority of this movie, which explains the high rerecord count. (Manual rerecords were about 800.)


Bisqwit: Cancelling due to mutually unsatisfying feedback.
