Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story , based on the 1993 movie, follows Bruce Lee's journey as he discovers his true origins and sets out to explore America. However, this new land proves to be treacherous, forcing him to fight for survival against its dangers.
The game is a side-scrolling action experience where Bruce Lee navigates through various locations, engaging enemies in martial arts combat. As the player controls Bruce Lee, they can jump and attack using different martial arts moves, depending on which direction button is pressed at the time of the attack. Scattered throughout the levels are power-ups that can be activated by attacking them, while Bruce's health meter at the top of the screen dictates how many lives he has left.
