An opulent, mysterious and perilous fortress is the setting as Bruce Lee seeks to claim infinite wealth and the secret of immortality from the Wizard who dwells within.
You begin your search for the wizard at the entrance to his fortress This chamber and each chamber here, is sealed off from the other rooms. The only way to get from one room to the adjoining room is to jump up and take the lanterns which hang from the ceiling. When you get all the lanterns (or at least certain lanterns) for that room, the door opens (Watch the edges of your screen so that you'll see when your exit is possible.)
Hint: You most get all of the lanterns in the lost three rooms in order to proceed. Then go to the middle room and look for the opening through which you can exit.
Throughout your search for the wizard, you are attacked by the Ninja brandishing their bokken sticks. Even more dangerous is the Green Yamo who runs after you and delivers crushing kicks. Dock and run away to foil there attempts to harm you, then come back kicking and chopping - the Green Yamo can survive only three blows, and the Ninja can survive only two.
Take as many lanterns and cover as much ground 3S you can before these foes reappear.
To get around each room you can climb vines (up, down, or sideways), ride on waves of particles which change direction at random, leap from ledge to ledge and jump down from a ledge without injury.
Hazards and traps await you in rooms close to the wizard's chamber. You must avoid electrical charges passing through daps between ledges, pan lights streaming across the flour, and exploding t'sung-lin (bushes) appearing from nowhere. When you finally reach the wizard keep away from the fireballs streaming from his eyes. Press the button which destroys the wizard - and his fortunes are yours! Enjoy them because your next foray into the fortress will be more difficult.

easter egg
Yup, there is actually 2 little easter eggs in Bruce Lee. Most people who have played the game probably know the first one, but to get the other one .. is hard, so.
Anyway, here goes one the first one: remember the room with the purple/white jing/jang 1up powerup ? Did you know if you immediately enter the room again the 1up has respawn? and that you can do this several times (about 5 or 6 times).
And the secret one: if you managed to get to very same spot without dying at all (aka a perfect run) .. you will have just enough respawn 1up's to break the life counter !! What happens: when you get to the 9 life and you pick one more 1up .. the counter goes not to 10 as you would presume .. but to 99 lives (woot!).
Little more info: you may be able to get the 99 lives even if you die once (if i remember correctly). Also it may depend if you collect enough points first. The stage with the 1up is entered from the room with 3 exits and you can choose to enter one of the 3 at will (its the leftmost one that leads to the 1up, but if you enter the other ones first and rack up more points ... ).
Fear not though .. the laser field later will make sure to remove most of those 99 lives (if not all, lol) before you manage to pass it. - submitted by Cholo

"At the time, Bruce Lee was one of the very best games available on the CPC and a must have title. It was also one of the first games I completed however and with a little solid play, the game can soon be beaten. Fun but lacks a real lasting challenge. If you haven`t played it before then try it."

"I wouldnt go so far as giving this game a 10 as some of u have. Its just a below average game with alot of running around doing nothing and it bares no resemblance to the great man Bruce Lee at all - it does him no justice a real cheap shot by US GOLD to cash in on the great mans name."
