Irem's Vigilante Joins The Arcade Archives Downloadable Series This Week

Say it with me folks...

"WE"

"DON'T"

"CARE!"

Cool.

Now, where's my Ninja Baseball Bat Man?

A game where you play as Jackie Chan and Kung Fu fight your way all over the Bronx. Definitely a must play imo.

@StephenYap3 what a great game! I’d love to see it!!

I remember seeing and playing this in the arcades. It's kind of weird being able to have these in hand held.

Nice! The sequel to Renegade! I love this kind of stuff.

@JayJ Huh. I thought it was the sequel to Kung Fu Master. Both games made by Irem. Renegade was Technos. (Says so in the article lol)

@Untioutilly Man I hate people who pop up randomly and boast how well they are doing. Learn some humility.

@mrmememan You're on your own here among a group of battle hardened arcade veterans who do care. It would be wise to zip it.

@OorWullie I fully agree. I'm not interested in this personally but it's great that some people care about it. We don't have to be all interested in the same games. Grow up Mr Meme Man!

I would've preferred Kung Fu Master, that's a classic.

I was looking forward to this release, but many people says it sucks, so I'll pass for now.

@OorWullie I mean to say that the games they're releasing in general right now aren't that exciting. Don't know why they haven't released stuff like Pocky & Rocky and Bubble Symthony

@mrmememan Nor do Nintendo.. :/

I wasn't an arcade goer as a kid, and yet I love History of video games and try all these titles, despite the fact not all of them are my cup of tea.

People who just post their hate about NES and 8 bit games in general is people with which I have nothing to talk about.

@Moroboshi876 I was only a kid when the arcade was in its prime, but the joy of seeing all these arcade machines and least different games was an experience I'll never forget. That's why I'm loving seeing these arcade archives because some of them I remember, some I vaguely remember, and others I had no idea existed. But I'm big on history and forgotten games be them good or bad. So this is all a treat for me.

I guess this, a separate article, is the solution to not listing it in a timely manner with the Thursday updates every week. 👍

@GrailUK Indeed River City Ransom came out around the same time and that is the sequel, I forgot about Kung Fu Master, did we even get that? I always thought Spartan X was the sequel to that.

Fun fact: They actually were going to make a KFM sequel.

@Sgt-Jack-V @JayJ Awww I wanna play that

@Sgt-Jack-V @GrailUK Yeah it's actually kind of confusing from what I can tell. Apparently Kung Fu Master was known as Spartan X in Japan on most platforms but not on the MSX where it was known as "Seiken Achoo" and apparently the MSX has a sequel that was called Spartan X but it wasn't the original that went by the same name on other platforms. If that is not confusing enough apparently Spartan X 2 was actually released on the NES at a later date, which is a different game as well.

@JayJ !!!!

@ClassSonicSatAm How many Nintendo Arcade games are left even? Crusin' Blast???

@JayJ In Japan, KFM was apparently supposed to tie-in to the Jackie Chan film Wheels on Meals, which was known was Spartan X over there.
