Anyone remember T'ai Fu Wrath of the Tiger?

[Shinobido Heart]

The recent Gex 64 thread made me recall this game.

I rented it from Blockbuster along with Jackie Chan's Stuntmaster when I was a kid. This game was quite the surprise.

I don't have too many memories unfortunately but I remember it having some jammin tunes and fun game play, also being quite challenging.

I'd probably pair T'ai Fu and Buck Bumble together for being two really fun games with great soundtracks.

Loved the design of the main character so i rented and ... i didn't loved anything else =P

Do I actually remember the game? No, as I never played it.
But this along with some others are ingrained in my mind since I always saw their covers at the rental store.

I remember playing the demo but it didn't leave much of an impression.

Sadly it's one of those games where you have to progress further into the game to unlock more moves/skills to combo with.

Holyyyy shit, I'm not kidding when I say I've been looking for this game for like a decade now!! It's one of three PS1 games I always forget, the other two being a sidescrolling game that has a monkey king type main character and another where you play as like small kirby like lemmings/pikmin (i.e. sidescroller where you recruit NPCs while going through the level and use them to solve environmental puzzles).

Just reading the thread title gave me a big rush. Thank you!!

EDIT: there's also a 4th game I keep forgetting, a third person shooter where you kill bugs iirc and it might have had split screen coop but the graphics were pretty great for a PS1 title

lol you're welcome.

As for the monkey king game, was it Monkey Hero or Monkey Magic?

I know for a fact that I rented, played, and liked this game. But I can't remember a damn thing about it!

I always skipped over this game at Hollywood Video...

Would that third game be Adventures of Lomax by chance?

Thank you!! The monkey game was Monkey Magic! The people here are amazing 💖 The other side-scrolling game isn't Lomax, they're not really lemmings just acted like 'em and I might have been mistaken it might have been for the PC. Anyway, wouldn't wanna derail the thread!

I watched some gameplay of Tai'Fu and it definitely isn't as moody I remember. For some reason I remember most PS1 games as being kinda creepy!

 

[elzeus]

Yep it was a great game!

 

[Oreiller]

I have fond memories of this game, it was surprisingly competent.

Basically this

 

[Shopolic]

I had this game, but don't remember much.
It's interesting that Michael Giacchino was the composer of T'ai Fu. We know Giacchino these days for things like Ratatouille, Up, Some MCU films like Doctor Strange and Spider-Man and now The Batman.
