Kung-Fu Master - Amstrad CPC (longplay)

Why upload this video when there is already other people who have uploaded this version of the game? I noticed that none of the other videos feature "the headbutt" at all. Its like they dont know the game can do this? Anyways, this is what happens: you sit down and a midget approch and jumps at you. To do "the headbutt" just quicky stand up and the midget will bounce off. Everyone else seem to stand up and punch/kick (like they dont know of this "hidden?" move). Anyways, i remember this to be quite a enjoyable game, even tho not impressive in any way. The first boss is actually fairly hard as he tends to move backwards (and out of your reach) when punching .. still just mash the firebutton to win. 2nd boss can be quite annoing as he can shoot that boomerang both high and low .. but as that is his only "punch" just dudge it. Boss 3 is the easiest one but you need to hurry tho (good that everything slows down when he appears). 4 boss it kinda tricky as he can only be hit with low punches. 5th boss is like hitting a wall really, but as you can see in the video you can keep him pacified if you can keep up a smooth pace hits. Unlike the other bosses you may want to let the boss walk into you instead. Usually dont take that long to kill him but i guess i was unlucky. I hope i impress you with my firebutton stamina ;D
Anyways the game is fairly glitchy and at times horribly unfair. Like on lvl 2 you can easily get cought between those yellow bombs. Quite big bug that happens sometimes is when a stage is devided into multiple parts. Like stage 2 you are i the dropping balls area and one of those brown snakes fall onto the ground behind you .. the snake then runs right and you run right at the same time really fast and suddenly you are at the elevator and there is no boss and you having seen any of the henchmen? You then have to track back to "trigger" the henchmen and boss sequence to get any further.
Tactics: Against the annoing henchmen/knifethrower is acutally possible to time it so you engage the henchmen and knifethrower one at the time. Like when the knifethrower is away kill the henchmen (run up and meet them if needed) then engage the knifethrower and so on. Enemy spawn will then also follow this pattern pretty much. Not really a fun way to play the game tho.

[greatxerox]

one of my first CPC games, thanks cholo, i appreciate your videos !

[CholoCPC]

@greatxerox and thanks for watching me fool around in that game ;D

[Metr81]

Headbutt is the best ! :D

The only bad thing is when those midgets don't jump into your head :D

Tried to record this one a few months ago, but I was not being lucky with the final boss, he's meanie :/ I hate him !!

[CholoCPC]

@Metr81 Indeed never can be sure those midget will really jump. Also if they jump on you and you move even just slightly a pixel away, they will still hit you. You can still run into them tho when standing. And yes, the final boss is waaaay to hard, especially if you compare to the other bosses.

@CholoCPC thanks to you, i saw the end of the game :) . i was a noob in that game, i lost in the second level. i hate the little guys who caught the heels :)

The software sprites are exact copies of the C64's hardware sprites - look at the X & Y expanded giant level 3 boss for proof. The developers must have been seriously short of time to do that.

Oh well, if it works don't break it, I suppose.

An old favorite of mine on the CPC.

I had only manage to beat the game once or twice back in the days.

Its difficulty was to much for me.

Nice gameplay CholoCPC.

@Misel982001 Yeah i think they went a little crazy with the final boss .. way to hard, especially as all the other ones are so easy.
