need help in identifying game...
its been bugging me the whole day...
a side scrolling beat-em-up Kung Fu/karate game
at one point, if memory serves me right, when the character POWers up, his shirt rips off and becomes a super fighting machine...something similar to 'Kung Fu' but on a larger scale...last played it 10+ years ago...his moves and the character is similar to bruce lee...thanx

Sounds a bit like "Altered Beast"

sorie mate...its not altered beast...but thanks anyway

It's Fist of the North Star. I thought I was the only person on the face of the earth who actually liked it.


thanks, I've been loking for that for a while. It's a good game.



i like that game too. i've only played it on an emu though. i've still never seen the cart anywhere

Yeah, it's hard to find. Everyone I know pans it, though, because the gameplay is so simpe, and the graphics are ugly. Personally, though, I liked it because of the obvious advantages to leveling up (your punches and kicks become rapid-firing), and the fact that it was just plain fun.

I just wish that the PS2 game had been released outside of Japan.

its nt really the game i had in mind....but yeah...the concept was exactly the same..the whole rapid kicking and punching and the outrageous jumps...but its not the same game i play some odd years ago...was there a clone version of this game perhaps???? thanks anyway...

Maybe Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu?

Maybe... You know, I've been looking up on Fist of the North Star, and I've found mention of Fist of the North Star II and Fist of the North Star IV, both for NES.

I haven't been able to find any screenshots of either sequel, but you might want to look up on it. After all, FTNS does fit your description ...

it isn't Altered Beast, or Fist of the North Star

man, thats really hard

since these 2 titles are known for making those seroids abuse ways to show

Could it be "Last Battle" for Sega Genesis?

in the same vein as Fist of the North Star, but diffrent system, but once he does POWerup he tears off his shirt and gets a ton more moves.
