    Kung-Fu Master was released in December 1984 outside Japan. Originally known in Japan as as "Spartan X".

    Licensed to Data East for US manufacture and distribution. Kung-Fu Master was the first game that Irem licensed to Data East and was also the first of two genre-defining fighting games released by Data East that year; the other being 'Karate Champ', the world's first one-on-one fighting game.
