The story of the game

In the game's lore, the protagonist Yulee receives kung-fu teachings from Lee (protagonist of the games Yie Ar Kung-Fu I and II) to face various challenges and a horde of enemies.

The game can be played in two modes: story mode, where there will be a longer journey and a password system to save your progress, and simple mode, where you face the game's opponents (like in the aforementioned Konami games).

Bun-Ga-Rua promises many fun moments, including bonus stages, references to other popular MSX games (such as Metal Gear ) and even a vending machine, where you can buy items to strengthen the game's heroine.

The title is scheduled to be released later this year. To run Bun-Ga-Rua, you will need an MSX2 or higher.
