Enter the Dragon inspired early on beat 'em up brawler games. It was cited by game designer Yoshihisa Kishimoto every bit a primal inspiration backside Technōs Japan's brawler Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun (1986), released as Renegade in the West.[103] [104] Its spiritual successor Double Dragon (1987) too drew inspiration from Enter the Dragon, with the game's title beingness a homage to the film.[103] Double Dragon too features two enemies named Roper and Williams, a reference to the two characters Roper and Williams from Enter the Dragon. The sequel Double Dragon II: The Revenge (1988) includes opponents named Bolo and Oharra.

Enter the Dragon was the foundation for fighting games.[105] [106] The film'southward tournament plot inspired numerous fighting games.[107] The Street Fighter video game franchise, debuted in 1987, was inspired by Enter the Dragon, with the gameplay centered effectually an international fighting tournament, and each character having a unique combination of ethnicity, nationality and fighting style. Street Fighter went on to gear up the template for all fighting games that followed.[108] The little-known 1985 Nintendo arcade game Arm Wrestling contains vocalization leftovers from the motion-picture show, every bit well as their original counterparts.
