Remake Game Pick: Ultimate Bruce Lee (Smila, Stu Collier)
Ultimate Bruce Lee is a remake of the Commodore 64 platformer with updated graphics, new gameplay modes, unlockable extras, and the original 1984 release recreated faithfully to please fans of all things retro. You assume control over the legendary martial arts master on a quest to retrieve the elixir of immortality hidden deep inside a wizard's fortress. This will involve collecting lanterns, jumping over traps and defeating numerous evil minions as you make your way from one room to another.
Use the cursor keys to move, duck and jump. Press the Z key to strike at an enemy. Collect all lanterns from the first three screens to reveal a hidden passage to the next area.

Hey, this is great. I thought at first it was just Smila's Bruce Lee 2 from a few years ago, but it's two all-new versions plus the original C64 game.
I'm especially impressed with the Tron game.
Smila's earlier remake (Bruce Lee 2) is also worth a look, for any Bruce Lee game fans who haven't seen it.

Nice game.

Survival mode is pretty tough. I had assumed that 100 was the goal, but when I managed to reach that it just kept going.

Oh, sweet. Before I had a PC I actually used to play on the C64 we got from some friends when it was already ancient, along with dozens of pirated games which mostly didn't work, anyway. Well, Bruce Lee was one of the cooler games that did work, so I'll surely check this remake out :)

oh my goodness, cartoon mode has me lol'n for ages, what a brilliant take on it.
i found survival mode tough too but i manged to pass it eventualy, youve got to get blackbelt, 130 seconds or something like that.
i climbed up the ladders and ducked whenever the green fat bloke spawned next to me. didnt have to kick or punch anyone.

Game is so close to the original (I didn't remember some lanterns were disappearing, but apparently they were) that it only took me 2 tries to finish it. Well done, that's how all remakes should be.

Completed it too, maybe a bit too easy overall but so was the spectrum version.
