Bruce Lee is a platform game written by Ron J. Fortier for Atari 8-bit computers and published in 1984 by Datasoft.[2] The graphics are by Kelly Day and music by John A. Fitzpatrick. The player takes the role of Bruce Lee, while a second player controls either Yamo or alternates with player one for control of Bruce Lee.

Commodore 64[3] and Apple II versions were released the same year. The game was converted to the ZX Spectrum[4] and Amstrad CPC[5] and published by U.S. Gold. It was the first U.S. Gold release featuring a famous individual.[6] An MSX version was published in 1985 by Comptiq.[7]
