This is the acclaimed fighter from Beam software, that was one of the first games on home systems that allowed 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.

This copy appears to be one provided to press prior the game's launch.
