There are numerous karate/kung fu simulations for the Elk and this has got to be one of the better ones. In this game, you are Oolong, kung fu master. Battle takes place in front of a beautiful, animated waterfall. You have to defeat six opponents (including flying pots and pans!).
After this, you are transported to another scene (a pagoda) by which you must face another six foes. The game runs in Mode 2 but the graphics are excellent - among the best I've seen on the Elk! Sound effects are basic, but they do not interfere with the playability of the game.
It would have been nice if the game could have supported joysticks but I suppose we can't have our cake and eat it. Keyboard control is tricky, but I found that opponets could be defeated by repeating only one or two basic moves.
It is available on tape and there's a disk version of it for all formats. If you haven't got a copy of this game though, buy one today!
