The C64 spawned some cult fighting games, like Kung-Fu Master, Double Dragon, Karateka and Yie-Ar Kung Fu, but no-one was as epic and challenging as this one. It's not only fighting (like in the first 5 minutes of the video), it's also lots of adventuring, trap-avoiding etc., too. When you watch the video at approx. 5:00 the game turns from a fighting game into a beat'em up-adventure. It was also famous for its screechy voice samples.
It was the big **** back in the day, and the C64 shows once again what great a little soundtrack consisting of 4 tunes can make a game atmospheric. but lets face the dark side, more variety in the background would have been nice - it was a lengthy game - and sometimes the lack of details makes you wonder where you are (am i going around in circles?) - scrolling is a bit slow and laggy. But it was a good game even with all its flaws.
Travelling around the eastern setting, through jungle, swamps, caves, bamboo woods, mansions, climbing mountains, jumping down waterfalls, finding sheet rolls and do mental yoga to max out your energy bar.

A fair 4/5 Stars. Ahead of its time, but not perfect.
