''Kung-Fu Master'' is a 1984 [[Arcade Game]] released by [[Irem]], also known as ''Kung Fu'' in its 1985 [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] port and ''[[Market-Based Title|Spartan X]]'' in Japan (all versions except for the [[MSX]] one, which was titled ''Seiken Acho'' due to the existence of ''Jackie Chan in Spartan X'', a different MSX game by Pony Inc.). Playing as martial artist Thomas, you get to kick, punch and jump-kick an horde of...rather ''grabby'' enemies and acrobatic midgets throughout 5 straighforwardstraightforward stages.
 
The original game's plot is [[Excuse Plot|quite simple]]: the mysterious Mr. X kidnaps Thomas' girl, Sylvia, and leaves a letter challenging him to rescue her by going through a 5-floor pagoda known as ''Devil's Temple'', fighting against his hordes of grabby [[Mooks]] and the ''5 Sons of the Devil'' (the [[Carry a Big Stick|Stick Fighter]], [[Precision-Guided Boomerang|Boomerang Fighter]], [[The Brute|Strongman]], [[Evil Sorcerer|Magician]] and [[Big Bad|Mr. X]] himself).
