**** by MrSkip. Comment: "This game is like all those awesome kung-fu movies out of the seventies...without the bothersome plot development. My only gripe is that your name is Thomas, your girlfriend is Sylvia... those are not very kung-fu sounding names. Great game." 2003-01-22 11:58:33Z

**** by Reinen. Comment: "LMAO yeah the names were a bit dodgy - I like game summary of this: `Rescue girlfriend - hit people` hehe - totally true, the gameplay was simple. I`ve just played this in cheat mode on MAME and finally completed it. If you played this past level 2 in the arcades you got to walk away with a macho walk, as if you took on the world and won. Fellow gamesplayers respected that ;o) " 2003-02-18 09:11:36Z

**** by Trevorm. Comment: "If I have my film history correct, the basic idea of this game is based on Bruce Lee's original concept for "Game of Death" where a martial artist confronts many bad guys in a pagoda like setting. "Thomas and Sylvia were attacked by several unknown guys...." :)" 2005-03-31 02:47:28Z
