Kick Master comes as a loose NES cartridge, ready to plug in and play. What you're getting is the cartridge itself, without a box or manual — a solid way to add this uncommon title to your collection or finally track down a copy you've been hunting for. Coolection has tested this one and it was playing just as it should, though as with any vintage cartridge, how it performs can vary a bit depending on your console and setup.

Item Description
Kick Master is one of those NES games that flew under the radar for many players at the time but has earned a devoted following among collectors and action-platformer enthusiasts who know their library well. Released in 1992 by Taito and developed by Temco, it arrived late in the NES lifecycle and never quite got the attention it deserved — which is part of what makes finding a copy feel like a genuine discovery. The game puts you in control of Tomas, a warrior whose only weapon after a devastating attack on his troupe is his own legs, and the entire combat system is built around that single premise in a way that ends up feeling surprisingly deep and satisfying.
What sets Kick Master apart from the sea of NES action games is just how much variety the developers wrung out of a kick-only moveset. Tomas can learn dozens of different kicking techniques as he levels up, from spinning aerial attacks to crouching sweeps and everything in between, giving the combat a complexity that rewards experimentation. The magic system adds another layer, letting you cast spells that complement your physical abilities and give the game a light RPG feel without bogging down the action. It strikes a balance between brawler and adventure that very few games on the platform managed to pull off this well.
Visually and sonically, Kick Master holds up as a strong late-era NES release. The sprite work is detailed and expressive for the hardware, the enemy designs are genuinely creative and memorable, and the soundtrack — composed with a moody, atmospheric energy — is the kind that sticks with you long after you've set down the controller. Boss encounters in particular are dramatic and demanding, requiring you to read patterns and apply the right techniques at the right moments. It feels like a game made by people who understood exactly what they were doing.
Because it launched close to the end of the NES era, Kick Master never got a massive print run, and complete copies with box and manual are legitimately difficult to find today. A loose cartridge is the most accessible way to experience one of the console's underappreciated gems, and for players and collectors alike, it's absolutely worth having on the shelf.
This one is a perfect pick for NES collectors building out their library beyond the obvious hits, action-platformer fans who appreciate mechanical depth, or anyone who loves the feeling of discovering a late-era hidden gem they somehow missed the first time around.
