  • This game was made for the C64. End of discussion.

  • And the ironic thing is; the CPC is just as good.

  • The CPC was certainly a more capable machine than was ever really shown, but it fell down when it came to hardware scrolling and sprites unfortunately.

  • Full screen hardware scrolling was a pain, but there are a few games that broke the 50fps barrier i.e. Warhawk, Mission Genocide, Mr Heli and Fres Attack. There were lots of little tricks you could do to fool the CPU and hardware scrolling. Star Sabre proves that 25fps is perfectly acceptable though, and even people from the C64 scene give it approval.

  • This is gonna sound petty, but i was watching the background on this and never once did i see any background animation except for the sun reflecting in the water. No worms, spiders,birds,fish or periscope, that aside looked good.

  • Tell me about it, System 3 always gave very little development time to the CPC games they produced and in most cases were cut down versions. Myth had the last level missing and Last Ninja was in black and white.

  • Guys, Im a Commodore fan but we really need to stop being assholes on every

    ZX spectrum/Amstrad CPC/ Atari ST video saying that our machines are better

    (like the disgusting Nintendo fanbase),

    I really find the graphics of the Amstrad amazing, giving the MASTERSYSTEM

    a run for its money ! and its high resolution modes can give a great atmosphere

    in games like Switchblade which trumps the C64 version, Coming from a C64/Amiga fanatic !

see all

  • i'm glad the makers bothered to include music on the amstrad/spectrum versions, a very respectable rendition it is too,..better than no tune at all anyway

  • C64 had the best graphic and sprite animations but gameplay wise it was equal, plus (dont know if the amstrad version had it) BEST cheat in the game Hold "S"+"E" to drop yer pants! lol

  • game seems to play fairly similar to way of the exploding fist. thas was one of the best martial arts games i ever played back in the day!!!!

  • Afro-Sideburn-Mustache Karate!

  • Did this game have anything to do with "The way of the exploding fist"?

  • Awesome music remix, fits right with the original

  • I hate that you have crap like "Headshot LOL" over an otherwise worthy tribute to a great game.

  • Thats Amiga/ST graphics at the start of the video (the silhouetted fighters).

  • Because no Amstrad 6128Plus version were made...
