Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu (TurboGrafx-16) Playthrough
A playthrough of Hudson Soft’s 1992 license-based action game for the TurboGrafx-16, Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu.
Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu is a fantasy platformer starring the world’s favorite Hong Kong action movie star. When his sister is captured by an evil sorcerer, Jackie has to trek across old-world China in his efforts to rescue her. He’ll face off against the likes of tigers, Mongols, witchdoctors, mutant frogs, possessed statues, and even a demon that lives in the clouds as he makes his way toward the final showdown.
The TurboGrafx-16 version of the game isn’t nearly as well known as the NES version (). The two games were created side-by-side and in Japan were released within a week of one another, though in North America the NES version led the release of the TG16 one by over a year.
The games are largely the same: in both you get a wide range of special moves and a charged fireball attack, the same insane cast of bad guys, and five stages loaded with secrets.
But the impact that the generational leap in hardware and the increased ROM size had on this one can’t be denied. The Turbo version’s graphics are a huge upgrade in terms of color and detail, the music sounds fuller, and Jackie now lets out all sorts of digitized grunts and yells to pep things up.
Many of the stages were made longer and more challenging, too, though I do think that extended segments (especially in the final stage) hurt the game’s pacing a bit. The vertical scrolling of the screen in this version also makes it a bit too easy to take hits from enemies that are hiding above the top edge of the screen. Neither of these things are huge issues, but they do make me lean more toward the NES game.
But Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu is an excellent game that sits among the best in either system’s library of action games, and I’d recommend this one to anyone who liked the NES one.
