Title: Bruce Lee 2 : return of the 8 bits !
Post by: funkycochise on July 13, 2013, 04:02:22 PM
Hi there,

I've just falled on this :

It's a homebrew sequel to the classic of 1984 available on the 8bits computer of that time.
graphics, sounds and music are completely in the legacy of its ancestor.
I played with it for more than 2 hours today with this.
Difficulty is like the one of 1984 : really hard but there's an infinite lives mode (thank god!)

Some gfx were enhanced like the enemies : ninja is more coloured, sumo isn't there anymore,
but there is clones of the enemy featuring in 'enter the dragon' movie :
*Williams character, played by Jim Kelly (who just died 2 weeks ago)
He's the black karateka with that funky blaxploitation touch
*O'Hara, played by Robert Wall.
He's the white evil one who kills his opponent.

In fact, I think also that this character has a kind of "chuck norris" touch  :lol:

tips : play with keyboard and remap the keys like in 1985:
up, down, left, right and punch/kick (A,Q,O,P,Space)
< and > keys like the amstrad CPC isn't convenient anymore :D

Really great work, so good to play such brilliant game

Bruce Lee was one of my favourite game ever on C64.
I could finish it with one life so I guess it wasn't that hard.
Thanks for the tip I didn't know about the sequel.
Can't wait to try it!

This is much harder because of the long jump. Then, some stage are difficult to achieve.
Give it a try, laser stage and moving plate are really difficult in this sequel.
I've gone crazy when I came to these !

Overall, I was talking about nowadays difficulty against difficulty of that time.

Enjoy.

Same for me, expect I played it on my Amstrad CPC 464. I remember I was 'dreaming' an entire day... watching the cover box of this game in the classrom  ;D  (a friend of mine bring this game at school to lend me).
Great memories on that one.  :-*

Oh wow
I loved this game back in the day and actually I still rate it as one of my favourite games on the spectrum 48k.
Is this available just as a down load ?
Is it in spectrum code too ?
Thanks for posting
