Yie Ar Kung-Fu now on the ColecoVision...

[opcode]

Hi!

I have started to work on my next ColecoVision ports, Yie Ar Kung-Fu I and II. Both were released for the MSX computers back in 1985. Interestingly the first game was released even before the famous coin operated game, so don't expect a direct arcade port. In fact these games started the series! Later, Konami ported the first MSX game for the Famicom, but the second one stayed as a MSX exclusive... till now.

YAKF II uses twice times as much memory as the first game, so I decided to start with it.

Here is a list of features:

YAKF I -
5 enemies
1 scenary
1 bonus stage

YAKF II
8 enemies
4 scenaries
hidden bonuses
versus mode

Bellow are pictures of the second game.... These will be probably my last MSX ports for a while.

Awesome! You rock.

Just one comment though... YAKF II was also released for the Commodore 64 (and therefore not MSX exclusive). It doesn't look as nice as that though!

Wow. That's incredible! Keep up the great work, Eduardo.

Po-Chin looks like the comic relief in the game, like a fatter Dan Hibiki or something.
Anyway, these games will be a welcome addition to the ColecoVision library, especially for fighting game fans who've been stuck with nothing but Chuck Norris: Superkicks for all these years. Yeech!

Po-Chin's weapon is his flatulence! LOL
Yen-Pei uses his ponytail and Lan-Fang uses deadly fans. Aside them there are fighters using knifes, magical masks, bombs and the final boss, Emperor Yie-Gah (Flash Gordon's Ming the Merciless twin brother), uses lightning bolts.
But there are helpfull items in this game too, like magic soaps and power teas.
There is even a very interesing trick in this game: all MSX computers feature two cartridge slots. If you place YAKF II in slot 1 and YAKF I in slot 2, Young Lee's father (Lee, from the first game) will occasionally show up and help you with a restoring tea... Now I just need to figure out how I am going to implement it on the CV version... :hmm:
