Another great fighting game from System 3, after Karate and Ninja techniques you battle one on one combat in Muah Thai Boxing. The
player characters are huge, the music and graphics excellent, it's a bit difficult but playable. Enjoy!

BANGKOK KNIGHTS
(c)1987 System 3
SUMMARY FROM THE BACK OF THE COVER.
From the humble peasant farmers of Thailand came one of the
world's most devastating forms of combat, Thai Boxing - the
fastest, meanest and most exciting full contact sport in the
world of martial arts.
In this unique simulation of Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) you must
fight your way from the cliff ledge above your village, through
the jungle and into the streets of Bangkok. Only after
defeating all the street-wise opponents will you be granted the
right to fight in the famous Lumpini stadium, here you will
encounter the greatest exponents of the sport, the Bangkok
Knights.
By using unique and innovative programming techniques you will
have to combat the largest, cartoon-like, animated characters
ever seen and with the action set against eight way smooth
scrolling backgrounds plus state of the art music and digitised
sound effects. But beware, the Bangkok Knights are not known
for their chivalry. They will often surprise you with comical
cheat moves and you might die laughing.
