A demake of Kung Fu for the NES. It was called "Kung Fu Master" in the arcades in the 80s.

I used to play the Amstrad version!
Nice artwork.
Could not progress too far as I don’t understand how to shake enemies off me??

Thanks! Yeah, you have to move back-and-forth rapidly until they fall off. It's a weird mechanic, but it's how the original game worked.

Incredible how similar to the original arcade it plays :) got the correct vibes from it from second 0! Amazing job

Thanks! That's what I was aiming for. 🙂

Great! Never played the original, but looked at a video of the nes version, and it looks almost just like it! Its a shame it aint on the NES Switch Online service :/

Thanks! The arcade one looks cooler, but the graphics would be way too hard to emulate with so few pixels. I've "heard" that you can play the original on some online emulators ;)

@pootie omgomgomgomg!!!!!!! I've been a gamer since I was 2, which is over 30 years now. This might be the earliest video game I remember playing, and I still fire it up a few times a month or more!

I've played your demake three times (so far!) and am still literally laughing out loud! 😂 It's so perfect!!! The graphics, the sounds, the heart-pounding difficulty; they're all there, perfectly recreated. This just totally made my weekend, and I think I'll probably be playing it a lot instead of working on my next game, lol!

Thank you so much for making and sharing this!!! ❤️👊

Thanks so much! That's awesome to hear.

I really like your 'demake' - looks lovely in the pico 8 chunks!
I did manage to clear the 3 levels and it went a bit weird on me. I was able to continue, but my score was in the minus figures and when I was duffing baddies up, the negative score was getting less (to get to positive figures) ??? I think I dided on the last level at the boss and continued.
