C64 - Karateka

[kef34567]

Wow, this game taught me a lot about girls! Do all that work to get kick in the balls ( I know now, like 30 years later not to walk in a fighting stance)

[visioneerone]

Tip : don't walk up to the princess in fighting stance!

Goddamn that pissed me off.

[lightandark]

@visioneerone I have been pissed off about that since I was 13 .

[LiteSpeedRC]

the slowest goddam game of all time.

[HustlerHo]

Im 40 today and wanted to remember my first computer game for some reason. I think this would have made it a better experience if the dude playing in this video did not suck so bad at the game... but none the less, love that it was posted. GREAT GAME!

[try2bcool]

I remember when this came out, it had the most amazing graphics and animation I had ever seen.

[pinkbulldeluxe1]

5 fps?

[XArc64]

Altough i loved karate games, i had no fun with this one. But i loved to play Exploding Fist 2 and Ninja Mission.

[TheRealSuperSlayer]

I killed the bird when I was 8 and I was happy about it for years!

[ButteWhat]

Always died at the gate, never did get past that part, played on the C64 about 20 yrs ago

[megast2]

Fist II meets Prince of Persia.

[1xWertzui]

I can't help, but I always have a little Star Wars(tm:) feeling when I play this game.

[crumpet1969]

Although it lacked good sound effects ... loved this game!!

[ReverendSyn]

You could back yourself off the cliff and die.

Found that out the hard way.

You could also do a bow and your opponent would do the same.

[pmattoon]

Ohhh I remember this..I remember how much the bird sucked fighting. You would have to time it just right to hit him. Akuma was easier imo

[zapfly]

karateka + way of exploding fist 2 = best martial arts games on C64 !

[blablupp77]

SPACE means RUN .....

[SoloKazama]

atari 8 bit version is better:)

[mikecronis]

The sound's way off on this.

[gl0bal74]

I played this game for hours when I was 8.

sound is dope

[MarioNintendoh]

It looks so slow, compared to the NES version!

[modesthero]

The C64 version had the best audio.

[sableghost]

Loved this game.

[sweeneyt1]

Wow...my thumb blisters from when I was ten come back just from watching this.

[brian22222212]

donde puedo descargar este juego

???

[TJae1]

I would suppose this dude simply hooks his old c64, into a video adapter. I can imagine what other consoles lurks in the closets... oi yey.

[cassavaeater]

could I play it in Windows XP? where can I download it?

[TJae1]

Yeah, great question; probably w/ an emulator, if U can get it goin'; Windows normally regurgitates, em'

[sableghost]

I have a Commodore 64 emulator and there used to be a site with many of the c64 games. Sadly, it doesn't seem to exist anymore, but a google search for commodore 64 games might turn up new sites you can obtain the games from.

[shawbros]

Punching was a waste of time. It was far more effective to just kick.

[uofksteel]

This game was awesome. Forgot all about it.

[absdilsey]

we used to play this on the apple 2.. with the big flppy disc..

[hcarducci]

I had this on my commodore. Loved it!

[antdude]

Is there a whole walkthrough one?

[Chrijz]

You should run (not just walk) forward as soon as you kill an enemy, then you don't have to meet as much enemies!

[whyld4900]

I used to love this game. Haven't see it in many years. But I remember playing it on an Apple IIc.

[Commodorian]

The Apple version was better.

[xaviervonrottie]

I agree! I the sound better even if it was simple.
