Crash's ratings box called the Spectrum game "a very poor conversion from the arcade game". One reviewer found the graphics "really very poor", with so many attribute problems that it was hard to tell what was going on, though the sound was "pretty good"; another found the arcade game nothing amazing by the day's standards but "playable, and very addictive".	`p. 16, Kung Fu Master, commentsp. 16, Kung Fu Master, criticismp. 16, Kung Fu Master, criticismp. 16, Kung Fu Master, criticismp. 16, Kung Fu Master, criticism`	Magazine
