2	''Dragon Master'' is a 1994 2D fighting UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame developed and published by South Korean company [=UNiCO=] Electronics (who three years later made the far more poorly received ''VideoGame/TheMastersFighter''). It was released during the fighting game trend in the early 1990s that started with Creator/{{Capcom}}'s ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII''.

8	!!This VideoGame contains examples of:
9	* AnimeChineseGirl: Gloria, or at the very least she comes from a FantasyCounterpartCulture of China (see Fictional Earth below).
10	* AnimeHair: Klaus Garcia, Garner, and Jackie (the last to a lesser extent).
11	* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: While some names are well known and passable in certain parts of the world (such as Baekun Dosa (in the Korean language at least), Jackie, Joey, Gloria, and Garner, others are odd mashups of various foreign and/or made-up words such as "Klaus Garcia"[[note]](which is in fact a real-life name in some parts of the world due to the mix-and-match of German names with Spanish names)[[/note]], "Jedi Ryan",[[note]](though [[Franchise/StarWars "Jedi"]] is thought by some to be loosely based on the Japanese word "Jidaigeki" referring to Edo era Period dramas, but the fact that it is still a made up word still stands)[[/note]] and "Mozard".
12	* BigBad: Garner of whom is also the FinalBoss of the game.
13	* CastOfExpies: As a blatant copy of Street Fighter, expect several characters to be based on those from that series. The characters, and whom they are pastiches of (by moveset and/or appearance), are listed below:
14	** Gloria: Chun-Li
15	** Dark Man: Blanka
16	** Jackie: Guile
17	** Baekun Dosa and Klaus Garcia: [[{{Shotoclone}} Ryu and Ken]][[note]]Not of those respective characters in particular, but having elements of those characters moves between them.[[/note]]
18	** Jedi Ryan: Sagat
19	** Dynamo: Vega (claw) and Balrog (Boxer)
20	** Mozard: E. Honda and Balrog
21	** Joey, Deliza, and Garner seem to be original characters.
22	* CoolShades: Jackie sports these.
23	* {{Engrish}}: Surprisingly for something that never never went beyond South Korea's borders, much of the game is in English. Granted it is very awkward English, such as a congratulations message after beating Garner that reads "Many thanks for your trouble. You are the best fighter," and another after the character specific ending that reads "Since that, blue sky and sea make the people forget the terrible past and guide them to live with a peace, forever. Thanks", but English nonetheless.
24	* ExcusePlot: Garner is some sort of otherworldly demonic being who has kidnapped a woman and you have to fight your way through numerous opponents to confront him and rescue the woman.
25	* FictionalEarth: Seems to be in effect given that the world map (or what maybe supposed to be the Pacific Ocean(?) has no resemblance to that of any location in the real world.
26	* TheMockbuster: Rather obviously one of the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' series. To elaborate, South Korea [[BannedInChina had banned Japanese made video games and works of fiction/entertainment]] at the time, and thus the South Korean based company [=UNiCO=] created this game as a way to allow South Korean gamers the opportunity to get in on the Fighting game craze at the time. Thus whether this makes this blatant copying any less shameful or not, your YMMV.
27	* MsFanservice: Deliza, being that she is scantily clad female with a flirty personality. Arguably also counts as a GorgeousGaijin given that she is a strawberry blonde haired lady presumably from a Western country or at least a FantasyCounterpartCulture of one.
28	* OldMaster: Baekun Dosa
29	* StoutStrength: Mozard is the heaviest guy of any characters in the game.
30	* [[TwoGirlsToATeam Two Girls to a Roster]]: Gloria and Deliza are the only female fighters on the roster.
31	* WalkingShirtlessScene: [[WildMan Dark Man]] and all the bosses.
