Released in 1987, this side-scrolling game allows you to step into the shoes of Kenshiro, a martial arts expert with unique abilities. Traverse through various stages, encounter sub-bosses and bosses, and leverage power-ups to augment Kenshiro's power. The game is noted for its unique control scheme, engaging storyline, and stunning graphics that were ahead of its time. Whether you're a die-hard fan of old-school platformers or someone who enjoys games like Contra, Fist of the North Star offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Game Controls

In Fist of the North Star, you control Kenshiro using the D-pad for movement and the A and B buttons for attacks. For special power-ups, simultaneous button presses are required. For example, pressing A+B and the right arrow will allow Kenshiro to enter a room.
