Hokuto no Ken

A month after an average "Hokuto no Ken" game appeared on the Master System, a Famicom game was released. The Famicom game is also a Beat'em Up game and often considered to be one of the worst games for the Famicom/NES system. You are walking from right to left, killing innumerous thugs with kicks or punches. At certain points you have to enter doors to progress. The right door is often indicated, when Lynn, a little girl and one of the hero's companions, appears in the door. This is a fact that players often forget about and think the level goes on and on forever without end, whereas they just have to enter a door by pressing the right button combination (A+B+Up). Technically and graphically the game is rather weak, the controls are not very good as well. There are five levels in total, each ending with a boss battle against a major opponent from the series (Heart, Shin, Jagi, Souther and finally Raoh).
