The Way Of The Exploding Fist

The Electron version of the game plays more slowly than the BBC one, but the gameplay is otherwise intact. This is the acclaimed early fighter that was one of the first on home systems to allow for multiple kicks and punches.

To win each bout you must score 2 Yin-Yangs - a perfectly executed kick/punch scores a full one, whereas a less forceful contact offers half a point - the best moves also offer more points. In the one-player game, you advance through a Dan by winning two successive bouts, and a single win for the opponent means game over. The champion in a two-player duel is decided by points after 4 rounds.
