Plot
In Tiger Road, the player is placed in the shoes of Lee Wong, a master of the Tiger Technique of Oh-Lin. Before the start of the game, Lee's comrades were attacked (with casualties) and children of Oh-Lin were abducted by minions of the Dragon God Ryuken, a warlord and a master of the Dragon Aura Technique who seeks to conquer China. The abducted children are held at the temple of Ryugado (which is also Ryuken's residence) to be brainwashed into becoming Ryuken's soldiers. To win the game, the player must advance past five stages and retrieve scrolls through training areas (bonus stages) to acquire health and weapon power upgrades, and also the Double-Headed Tiger Fighting Technique known as the Tora Kikoh to defeat Ryuken and rescue the children held hostage at the Ryugadoh.

The Japanese arcade release has additional sound hardware, allowing the game to play digital voice samples using an additional Z80 and MSM5205 digital sound chip. In addition, Japanese version must be played twice to see the ending.
The world and USA releases had additional sound hardware removed, and these releases do not play any voice samples, lowering the production cost of the PCB. International release only has to complete the game once to see the ending.
