 EDIT:  Nevermind, I joined the big boys in the million point club.  Died to the magician monk on the fifth loop

Lol! LEW ALCINDOR!!!!!

I always thought he was Michael Clarke Duncan.

I always think of that scene from Game of Death when playing this game.  The game itself feels very Bruce Lee inspired as far as the theme goes.

I remember last year someone calling him shaquille o neal

Updated my original post with a new score: 933,030

I always thought he was like a jacked up uncle ben.

Looks like someone that would get arrested on the show Cops. Watcha gonna do,watcha gonna do....watcha gonna do when you get Kung Fued!

If you decide to allow a flash cart this week, then here is my submission.

1,333,080

Well, you beat me fair and square. I actually had a really great run going right before time ran out, but I screwed it up (second loop level 4 boss). I had not made it that far before. He actually killed me 3 times. I was so not happy about that!  I should have easily been able to get over 400,000 on that run.  I see you topped your previous score and broke the 500k mark.  Congrats dude!  The top 10 is as predicted... 700k+. Crazy!

Good games, everyone!

It felt so great when I looped the game yesturday.

Tom's tips definitely helped. And for me, practice. I'm not a seasoned Kung Fu player, which is sad because this is a really fun game!  I'm having a lot of fun trying "new" NES games and learning how to really play some of them during the contest!  I want to revisit Kung Fu again

Yes, Tom's video helped me a ton. I went from 150k or so all the way up to 500k! I don't think I would have topped 200k without the tips.

I agree, these contests introduce me to a lot of games I haven't played before and probably otherwise wouldn't put a lot of time into. Makes me appreciate almost everything we play. Now, Tecmo Bowl, I think I'm still going to hate that at the end of the week.

Thanks for challenging me btw! I probably put an extra 2 hours in to try get to that 500k mark, which was my own goal after watching Tom's video. Would have been satisfied with my 400k without you pushing me. I will enjoy seeing your signature for the next week! I'm sure we will meet again and maybe you can best me then.

So let's debate, is kung fu the best black box game?

I think it is a toss up with SMB and pro wrestling
