Kung Fu is a classic port of the arcade game. It's notable for being an obscenely rare (if not the only) instance of Nintendo porting an arcade game they did not develop.

Regional/Revisional Differences

In Japan, the game released for the Famicom as Spartan X and is based on the film of the same name. The game would later release overseas for the NES as Kung Fu. When Nintendo lost the Spartan X license in Japan, the Famicom game was re-released as Kung Fu and is identical to its NES counterpart.[1]
