Become a master in this mysterious eastern art as you progress from novice to tenth dan. A full range of of block, punches and kicks eve somersaults and roundhouses. Challenge the computer or a friend in this addictive challenge of a lifetime. Won Popular Computing Weekly's Game of the Year Award. This was an acclaimed one on one fighting game, and one of the first with multiple kicks and punches on a home system. The game was a sensation on release, topping the charts of the various formats it was released on. 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. The game spawned a couple of sequels, but they could not match the quality of the original. In 2023, a new version was made from backgrounds of the unreleased Amiga game, and released on the Spectrum Next.
