Overview

Kabuki: Quantum Fighter is a classic side scrolling action and platforming game from Human Entertainment. Released in 1990, it followed a string of similar games within the genre and became somewhat of a cult classic with references found in popular culture and other games; such as Soldier of Fortune during which the game can be seen in the background being played by one of the characters.

Plot

Set on Earth sometime in the future. A rapidly mutating computer virus has infected the defense software that protects the entire planet. Colonel Scott O'Connor volunteers to be converted into raw data and sent into the machine in an attempt to destroy the virus. Using the untested Image Transfer System he is able to enter the circuits and begin the fight to save mankind. The player must take contol of O'Connor and guide him through six levels of intense combat in order to reach the heart of the system and a final confrontation with the virus itself high above the Earth within an orbiting satellite.

Weapons

Hair

O’Connor’s hair can be whipped towards enemies to inflict damage. It has a very limited range and is the players most basic attack.

Chips

The player can throw computer chips at enemies in a more long range attack. A finite number are available in each level for the player to find.

Fusion Gun

Fires powerful but slow moving missiles towards enemies for a very long range attack. Very limited ammo capacity.

Quantum Bomb

Fires in three directions in front of the player. Very short range but extremely powerful.

Dynamite

Thrown forward in parabolic arc making it difficult to land direct hits. Large splash damage effect and power makes it a deadly weapon if on target.

Remote Control Bolo

Automatically targets enemies and lands multiple hits from a single attack. The most powerful weapon in the game and only obtained during the final level.

Enemies

Tanks

Patrol slowly but accelerate within close proximity to the player. No ranged ability and easy to avoid makes this a common enemy.

Robo Roaches

Slowly crawl along the ground with no ranged ability; however they are very durable and require many hits to be destroyed. Drop chips when killed. Very easy to avoid.

Flamethrowers

Squawking Heads

Stationary enemies that fire powerful flame bursts in a short range. Easy to avoid and difficult to eliminate through anything other than ranged attacks.

Squawking Heads

Like the Flamethrowers these are stationary enemies however their attack has far more range. Requires precise timing to destroy.

Dart Throwers

Bounces left and right until the player enters their ranged at which point they throw powerful darts. Can be eliminated with a ranged attack before they spot the player.

Pit Hounds

Very fast but possessing no ranged attacks. Well timed jumps can avoid their charge melee attack and leave them exposed.

Star Fighters

Bouncing Dinos

Slowly bounce towards the player. Repeated usage of a rang ed attack before they initiate contact is required to destroy them as they inflict heavy damage when up close.

Star Fighters

Extremely fast, very powerful and tough to destroy. The player is advised to avoid these enemies whenever possible and bypass them through careful jumping rather than engage in combat.

Boomerangers

Camouflaged enemies which fire boomerangs when in close proximity to the player. Not very durable and can be easily eliminated when exposed.
