Language: |
English |
Premise: |
A street tough escaping from his latest round with the law is surprised by
an elderly Oriental gentleman who tells him that he fights like a "headless
chicken," but has promise. He then offers the tough the chance of a lifetime -
joining the Tobiko-Ryu Dojo and learing the true path of the warrior. |
Impressions: |
An early entry in the two-player beat-'em-up genre. Think Jordan Mechner's
Karateka with a two-player versus mode but without the cool story and you
begin to get the idea. |
Variations: |
This is one of three early Electronic Arts games that only work with the
original version of the G/MD console. |
Recommended Emu: |
KGen 98 |
