This is the acclaimed one on one fighting game, that was released on most UK 8 bit systems. It was one of the first to allow the player to use multiple different kicks and punches, as well as blocks.

To win each bout you must score 2 Yin-Yangs - a perfectly executed kick/punch scores a full one, whereas a less forceful contact offers half a point - the best moves also offer more points. In the one-player game, you advance through a Dan by winning two successive bouts, and a single win for the opponent means game over. The champion in a two-player duel is decided by points after 4 rounds.
