AMERICAN LUCHA LIBRE - Key Persons
I kind of want to go back and try to beat the magician so I can try my hand at Mr. X. I had fun and it's calling me back, so that's saying something.
Josh Raymond is one of the most successful wrestlers on the Capital Pro Wrestling roster. He has gone through opponent after opponent, but came up short in his pursuit of the Great Lakes Television Championship, losing to CJ Ottgen with the help of Joseph Norton. Josh has not lost sight of the prize, but the return of the Purge may have put a hold on his title aspirations.
Here's another arcade style game in the form of a beat ‘em up. Kung Fu is a very simple game to learn, very difficult to master. That's a phrase that's starting to sound really familiar, isn't it? The developers were still in the arcade frame of mind. Let's make a game easy to get into and then kill them over and over again so they keep pumping in quarters. Unfortunately, it took a couple more cycles in developing NES games before they realized they could do more than try to emulate an arcade experience.
Kung Fu is the story of Thomas, who is on a quest to save Sylvia from the evil Mr. X and his gang of ruffians. He starts on the first floor of X's complex and has to work his way up to the top to face off against Mr. X himself. Along the way, you fight an army of Grippers, who try to hug you to death (sounds like my old buddy House Jones), and mini Tom Toms who will hug you or do a flipping senton on your head. Interspersed with them are knife throwers that can take off a huge chunk of your life.
Kung Fu earns a solid B. This is probably about the cap for the launch titles. Kung Fu is a very good game to this day. I recommend giving it a play.
