''Kung-Fu Master'' is a 1984 UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame released by Creator/{{Irem}}, also known as ''Kung Fu'' in its 1985 UsefulNotes/{{NES}} port and ''[[MarketBasedTitle Spartan X]]'' in Japan (all versions except for the {{UsefulNotes/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 straighforward stages.
