Description
Irem action Kung-Fu Master Game Boy version. Published by Irem, released September 1990 in the US and Europe. Side-view beat 'em up, punches and kicks, floor-based stages and dojo bosses. NTSC and PAL editions.
A port of Irem's arcade beat'em up Kung-Fu Master, this 1990 US version is among the early titles of the Game Boy catalogue, from a time when the hardware was young. The moderate value reflects a decent but old distribution and the nostalgic pull of the Irem cabinet brought to handheld. The appeal targets fans of the console's early arcade conversions rather than rarity hunters, with the US release more sought after than the European one.
