Random NES game of the day: Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu
Just played this the other night and was very pleasantly surprised. I played it way back in the day but all I remembered about it was Jackie being in it, not the game itself. This game actually is pretty fun and stays worthwhile throughout. If you've never played it and could use another 8-bit platformer (which should be everyone here
), give it a try.

Hmm nice another NES game I didn't know about. Incidentally, Jackie Chan Stuntmaster for the PSX is pretty good too. It's easy-ish tho.

Haha, that one was crazy a lot. The bosses were definitely memorable lol... well everything about the game was. It was a blast to play through just like the NES/PCE gameUnscathedFlyingObject wrote:Hmm nice another NES game I didn't know about.

The PCE version is better, but the NES one is pretty good too.
Jackie Chan Stuntmaster on the PS1 is tons of fun.

With this many people recommending the PCE version, I just have to check it out.
BTW, was it released outside of Japan?

Just checked out a video - wow, looks better than what I'd expect out of the ol' PSX. More like a Wii game really...Shatterhand wrote:Jackie Chan Stuntmaster on the PS1 is tons of fun.
