Game Introduction

You are Kenshiro, the Fist of the North Star, traveling across the land fighting the minions of Shin, your old martial arts schoolmate, now turned to evil.

Game Play

The player relies not on brute force, but speed and dexterity to hit certain targets as they are presented. Hitting the targets causes "damage" to your on-screen opponents, allowing you to defeat them.

There are various levels of difficulty, each with specific opponents and goals. Energy can be built up and used to deliver a "finishing move" to knock out your opponent. Some goals require as many as 100 hits in less than 10 seconds.
