Fond memories of this game from when I was around 7 or 8. I'll never forget the first time I almost beat it.... I was literally a hit away from defeating the final boss, and I wanted my dad to be there to see it but he was outside in the backyard. I went to quickly hit pause, and accidentally hit the power button instead 🤦♂️😭 Absolutely devastating for a kid that age 😂

The bonus is that you get to fight all 6 bosses again.

this game marked a great era and became little know along the years but unforgettable by martial arts enthusiasts like me Black Belt is an electronic fighting / action game for Master System 1986, American version of a game based on the Hokuto no Ken manga. In this game the main character, the karate fighter Riki (replacing the protagonist of the original, Kenshiro) should advance in 5 different stages, fighting a gang of bandits and facing at the end of each phase a master. At the end of the game, you challenge the last master, Wang (Raoh), and then you win, save your girlfriend Kyoko (Yuria) who was captured by the bandit gang. For those who played at the time was unforgettable this game that was one of the precursors of "Street Fighter" and "Mortal Kombat." in the middle of the stages were sub-chiefs, who were enemies a little stronger than normal but weaker than bosses, ranging from 1 to 4 per phase. deserves never to be forgotten

It's been over 35 years since I played this game. I recall such elation finally beating the game.I think it took me like 3 weeks playing to figure out how to beat all those bosses and sub bosses. So hard. And so fun. Then I played the game with my action figures which was even more fun. I recall using Quick Kick and Tomax as my stand ins for Riki. I alternated them. Gi-Joe action figures made such great stand ins so many non Gi-Joe related characters. I even took them apart to make hybrids that looked more like whatever character. Then I got home-economically creative making capes and costumes out of left over cloth and clothes I found lying around the house. Duct tape, electrical tape, and amything else to dress up and costume action figures. The 80's were the best time. And I was realistic about everything. Very often the good guy/guy's didn't win. Sometimes all but one of the good guy's got killed and the bad guy's got away with their crimes. And sometimes the good guy kills too many bsd guy's and becomes evil. And occasionally an evil guy finds his evil baddies went too far and killed Mutt's puppy Junkyard..... And Storm Shadow looks into the distance and realizes "I'm fighting with the wrong people. And decides I must fight Evil Cobra by myself agaisnt all odds to protect animals. I had a good childhood.
