Play Master Chu & The Drunkard Hu (Unl) Online
You swap between two clumsy warriors—one slinging magic, the other drunken punches—but the stiff controls and janky combat make even basic fights feel like a chore. The cool concept gets buried under frustrating design choices.
Master Chu & The Drunkard Hu is a 1989 NES release from Thin Chen Enterprise, a developer known for a handful of other titles on the platform. It arrived during a period when many games were experimenting with co-op mechanics and side-scrolling action, though it never quite found a large audience.
You control two martial artists, alternating between the sober Master Chu, who uses a short-range magical attack, and the inebriated Hu, who relies on wild, close-up punches. The main goal is to fight through screen after screen of enemies across a linear path to rescue a kidnapped girl. Signature mechanics include the character-swapping system, which is necessary to use each fighter's specific abilities against certain foes, and the collection of power-ups that slightly improve your attacks. The pacing is slow, hampered by stiff controls and enemy patterns that feel more unpredictable than challenging. Playing it feels like wrestling with the controller just to perform basic actions.
