Enter the Dragon inspired early crush 'em upwardly brawler games. Information technology was cited by game designer Yoshihisa Kishimoto as a key inspiration behind Technōs Japan's brawler Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun (1986), released every bit Renegade in the West.[101] [102] Its spiritual successor Double Dragon (1987) also drew inspiration from Enter the Dragon, with the game's title existence a homage to the flick.[101] Double Dragon too features ii enemies named Roper and Williams, a reference to the two characters Roper and Williams from Enter the Dragon. The sequel Double Dragon 2: The Revenge (1988) includes opponents named Bolo and Oharra.

Enter the Dragon was the foundation for fighting games.[103] [104] The film'southward tournament plot inspired numerous fighting games.[105] The Street Fighter video game franchise, debuted in 1987, was inspired past Enter the Dragon, with the gameplay centered around an international fighting tournament, and each character having a unique combination of ethnicity, nationality and fighting way.
