its the same game mappy (just a console port according to wikipedia)

Kung-Fu Master, known in Japan as Spartan X (スパルタンX Suparutan X?), is a 1984 beat 'em up arcade game developed and published in Japan by Irem. It was later published in North America by Data East. The Japanese version was based on the Jackie Chan movie Wheels on Meals, known as Spartan X in Japan, and credited "Paragon Films Ltd., Towa Promotion", who produced the film upon which it was based. The game is considered by many to be the first beat 'em up video game, and contains elements of Bruce Lee's Game of Death.

American McGee Presents: Scrapland. It was a very fun game, but the voice acting was absolutely atrocious.

You are actually quite close. The game never showed a title screen with a name and it was only one file, 64kb large (IIRC). So there was 3 names, relating to whatever the exe file was named: Panther, Ninja and Saboteur. The real name which was...

Saboteur II: Avenging Angel.
