Yie Ar Kung-Fu II

Yie Ar Kung-Fu II: The Emperor Yie-Gah (イーガー皇帝の逆襲　～イー・アル・カンフー・２～, Īgā-kōtei no Gyakushū: Ī Aru Kanfū 2^?, Emperor Yie-Gah's Counterattack: Yie Ar Kung-Fu 2) is a computer game where the main character fights martial arts masters and is a sequel to Yie Ar Kung-Fu. This sequel was released for the Commodore 64, MSX, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, Acorn Electron and Thomson TO7-70 home computer systems and featured a different approach to the game. Rather than a pure fighting game, it became a beat 'em up platform adventure game.

Gameplay

Lee Young is a young martial arts master whose son to a brave warrior who has rid China of "The Chop Suey Gang". However, one member survived and declared himself Emperor Yie-Gah. Now, like his father, Lee Young has to rid China of Yie-Gah and his allies once and for all.

Lee Young goes through three sections of a level to face its boss. Along the way, he meets up with ninjas (homages to Feedle from the original game). The power-ups Lee can acquire are oolong tea to replenish health, and lo mein for temporary invincibility. Lee can only carry 3 oolong teas at a time.

Yie Ar Kung-Fu II also had a 2-player option. Player 1 would play Lee while player 2 had the option to play as either Yen Pei, Lan Fang or Po Chin, making Lan Fang the first ever playable female character in a fighting game (and predating Chun Li in Street Fighter II by 5 years).

The main protagonist of the game. His moves mimic those of Oolong from the arcade game. His father was the star in the NES and MSX versions of Yie Ar Kung-Fu.

YEN PEI

Yen Pei wears a purple robe and is also known as Emperor Yie-Gah. His red braid is so large, he uses it in similar fashion as Chain's chain whip.

LAN FANG

Lan Fang wears a blue dress and has short hair. Like her predecessor, Fan, she throws steel fans at Lee.

PO CHIN

Po Chin is large and wears a brown outfit with a smiley face on it. He attacks with gas clouds. He's missing from the Thomson TO7-70 port of the game.

WEN HU

Wen Hu wears a green outfit and a metal mask to cover his face. When he battles, Wen Hu throws his mask at his opponent as it zooms around like a mosquito.
