Guide Bruce Lee to discover Immortality by beating the evil wizard and his minions. Bruce must explore the play area picking up lanterns, which will open up new areas for him to explore. The evil wizard's troops attack you in the form of The Green Yamo (fat guy) and The Ninja (little guy). However, Bruce can dispatch these by kicking or punching them (stand still and fire for punch, run and fire for kick).
Later screens get more complicated with killer bugs, swords, moving walls and mines to contend with!
Two players can play, either taking turns at being Bruce or with one playing controlling Yamo! Great fun!

I don't know what it is about this game but it is just so playable. The nostalgia factor helps for sure- I recall playing this one a lot on my black and white telly! In fact I think this game is responsible for breaking the kempston adaptor on my machine which meant it was off to the repairers. Still enjoy it today though I think those in the top 10 really need to get out more :)

Give that man a medal. I did it just three time and killed off my remaining lives through sheer boredom.

Right, that's enough bloody Bruce Lee for a while! I think I looped it about 15 times to get the top score, and just got soo bored after like 5 hours! Deliberately lost all my lives.

Shiny! Let's be bad guys.

This game is just too easy, and getting a high score here is more of an endurance test. I finished it three times in a row and still only ranked sixth.

"Later screens get more complicated with killer bugs..."

Killer bugs? For close to 30 years I thought those were electric sparks! :-)

"Guide Bruce Lee to discover Immortality by beating the evil wizard and his minions." - Not far from the truth if you have the stamina!

Игра с потрясающей играбельностью, хотя и крайне незамысловатая. :)
