Plot

Monsters have taken Princess Min-Min captive and have stolen the 10 treasures of the nameless land the game takes place in, leaving everything in sorrow. Kung-fu Masters Jacky and Lee return from training and must set out to rescue the princess and find the treasures.


Gameplay

The player controls one of the characters, Jacky or Lee, and each level pits the player against countless enemy warriors. The goal is for the player to defeat enough enemies so that the door at the top of the room opens allowing the player to exit the room and proceed to the next. Enemies' attacks and weapons vary throughout the game. There are quite a number of ''BONUS'' levels that players can enter.


Reception

In Japan, ''Game Machine'' listed ''Chinese Hero'' on their October 15, 1984 issue as being the most-successful table arcade unit of the month.
