Yie Ar Kung Fu
I used to watch mulleted, half-staced teens play this for hours at the local skate rink. I was too short to play the stand-ups right, yet. I was also too modest to skate around like the other kids, who looked like they were taking standing dumps as they rolled around on those heavy-ass skates. Eventually I took to the rink, and was a natural. Yie Ar Kung Fu was not so easy. In fact, I never saw any guy get farther than the first FAN on the skate rink one. In this Konami classic, you are Oolong, a young Kung Fu Fighter who must face the Shaolin trials. (I gave up on this one as soon as Castlevania came out. This was well before the home NES, even.) The levels go as follows:
1st Wave
1) Buchu: The Flying Fat Monk
2) Star: The Shuriken Chick
3) Nuncha: ku Chucker
4) Pole: Shaolin Lohan w/Staff
5) Feedle: A Gang
2nd Wave
6) Chain: A Jerk w/Reach
7) Club: Clubber Yang
8) Fan: Kunoichi
9) Sword: Ninja Elvis?
10) Tonfun: You say Tonfun, I say Tonfa, let's call the whole thing off.
11) Blues: When Oolong gets the blues, he fights himself.
Then both waves repeat. Watch it super-played @ LINK.
If you can find this one in the old stand-up, it's probably pretty beat up. However, you can play Yie Ar in Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits for the DS, and as always there are Roms available if you know a bit of MAME-Fu.
Tomorrow, Toilet Theater...
