Did you buy this game knowing who Jackie Chan is or did you just get it because it looked fun?
Didn't buy, played it, it was fun.
Fun as in, a good NES action games among hundreds of good NES action games.
What kid born in the past 30 years doesn't know who he is?
He wasn't really a well known entity in the west at the time this game was released. I think Rumble in the Bronx (1995) was his first big hit in the US and it would still be a few more years before he became a household name. I'm sort of surprised they kept his name on the game but given what a huge self-promoter Chan is, he probably demanded it. I had no idea who he was but remember seeing commercials for it.
Cool little game though, worth a play.
>He wasn't really a well known entity in the west at the time this game was released
>in the west
>in the west
you buttholes always think Britland or USALand is ALL of the west. He was very well known here IN THE WEST (Europe). It is just that buttholes like the USA get everything super late and think
>OH NO THE WEST DOES NOT HAVE THIS
look at how late USA Land Britbong Land got DRAGON BALL and DBZ, it is fricking insane how late you guys were to that game, same thing AGAIN for One Piece and there is another super big anime everyone in the world knows and loves but never got much love in BRITBONGLAND and the USA, it is insane how you guys pretend to be two different countries yet you are so much alike, UK is way more like the USA than Europe.
Also South America is allowed to join in and laugh about you guys, since the also got DBZ decades before you got it.
So to ANSWER the question of OP: YES HE is very well known here and we got all his Hong Kong movies and he was as popular as Bud Spencer and Terrance Hill OH WAIT two other iconic celebs who are loved in the west but Anglos have no fricking clue what I am even talking about and while we are at it look at pic related. "WEST" you guys live in a bubble, stop pretending. Foreign stuff scares you.
We didn't even get Dragon Ball, we went straight onto Z
>"WEST" you guys live in a bubble, stop pretending. Foreign stuff scares you.
More like the U.S. has the largest domestic media market in the world and we export more movies and TV shows to the rest of the world than import them, but cope and project more.
What a complete non-sequitur. You didn't contend with anything he said.
>anything he said.
Nice try, samegay
Even if I was ssmegayging you said nothing in relation to his original point.
>burgermutts are scared of foreign media
>not true america makes stuff
Wot?
You keep claiming it's fear of foreign media, it has nothing to do with that and everything to do with the U.S. having the most domestic options of any country in the World. The only reason Lat Am and S. American countries got shit like Dragonball first is because they didn't have enough of their own domestic cartoons vying for programming space on TV, so they were willing to buy Japanese cartoons to fill up programming time, that's it. There's no big conspiracy against foreign media in the U.S. we just had plenty of our own filling up TV networks and movie theaters.
That was the other guy once again
You'll notice that he was an ESL and I am not, yes? But you've explained yourself better now. It's a similar situation to China. They're market's flooded with domestic media so only the biggest western stuff really breaks through.
UK is more like France and Scandinavia, America is much more religious and patriotic that most people from UK don't get. Your caps lock seems to be broken, or you're just an insufferable homosexual.
In any case, Jackie Chan is just a stupid gimmick actor like Morgan Freeman, Arnold Schwarzenegger and etc. he's not in anything good. People have always known who he is anyway.
Did Sammo Hung ever get a video game?
I read reviews saying it was good in magazines when i was a kid, and then as an adult i emulated it for a bit to try it out.
Then i bought a full complete copy off ebay and had a good time with it.
Unfortunately no, i don't think so
*i got the PAL version though, much better cover art.
I didn't know anything about Jackie Chan at the time, I only learned about Jackie Chan probably 3-4 years later, during my teenage years. It may not have been until Tarantino did that MTV Movie award thing about Jackie Chan that I knew who he was.
I knew about Jackie Chan but I played the multicart bootleg version where they removed the imagery so I didn't even know it was him.
anon it has ninjas on the cover
NINJAS
Bill and Ted was coming out at the same time and my best friend and I argued constantly over which would be the better game. He chose Jackie Chan and I chose poorly. Also in 1990 my 8/9yo friends and I in urban NJ absolutely knew who the drunken master was.
My mom got it for Christmas one year along with a bunch of other NES games in the late 90s. That was a good gift, including this game. I think he was just exploding in popularity around the time I played it in the US.
It's a pretty solid game by NES platformer standards. When it comes to retro Jackie games though, Fists of Fire & Stuntmaster come to mind first.
>It's a pretty solid game by NES platformer standards.
What's the PCE version like? It looks a lot better graphically.
It's the same game but better graphically, the level layouts are somewhat different in spots as well. Hudson games from the late-NES and PC Engine era have a really unique, comfy vibe to them, I'm including the later Adventure Island games (AI 2 & 3 on the NES, New Adventure Island on TG16) Bomberman 93 and 94, and Kato & Ken / JJ & Jeff as well.
much better game. the weakest level is the river one with the frog boss though
levels are also a lot longer
i still consider it more of a B game though. the best Nowpro game on pce is New Adventure Island, which is phenomenal
Tried it randomly on an emulator. Fun game.
Had no idea who he was.
Play the game
might have beat it, don't know.
That his popular movie came to theaters, not rush hour, but something else.
Then saw Blockbuster video had reams of Jackie Chan videos so had to watch them all. Good stuff. Hope that answers your question.
I rented it at least once based on the boxart
didn't know who jackie chan was in 1993, for all I knew he was just the MC of the game
Imagine a timeline where Jacky Chan fully embraced his mid-80s reputation of a "Bruce Lee clone"
