Bruce Lee for the Apple II

The late martial arts hero features in this platform game, with the aim of reaching a wizard in an underground lair, defeat of whom can offer him untold wealth.

In each area you must collect the many strategically-placed lanterns before exiting through the newly-revealed passageway. Some rooms also have escalator-type sections to run along, and the standard (although slightly illogical in this context) ladders.

On the way, you'll fight two enemies - a ninja and a sumo warrior named Yamo. You can defeat them by punching, kicking, dropping on their heads or luring them into hazardous terrain, or even by making them accidentally hit each other. Even after they are killed, however, they keep coming back for more after a few seconds. Since they can move pretty intelligently (they even climb ladders), you should watch out for them.

There are lots of hazards to avoid by either walking round or jumping - walls of electrical charge and exploding bushes for example.


Nice game...yet not as good as other versions of it. Bruce Lee is always repeating an action until you do another one. For example if you jump up, he will jump up until you do another action, like attacking ... and then he will repeat that. Also the controls aren't the best here.

Bruce Lee would have been very disappointed as he would have been with every other game based on him.

This version doesn't even have that cool "BA-WOOOOM" sound the Green (or in this case, White) Yamo makes when he appears.

It looks brick hard compared to the other versions. The awkward controls I am sure do not help the cause. Looks good though.
