Great remake.

Well, it's not really karate, but whatever this stiff lashing out of fists and feet may be, it's addictive as always. We snuck this onto the reverse side of our 5.25" disks in computer class, and it still has that kind of appeal. I'm not sold on the controls yet, but I don't hate them either.

Great port. Addition of the floppy drive loading noise great too. After playing found out it kept the CPU alive for 8 hours and keep awake was over 1 day. Drained my battery. Not sure why the game needs full network access permissions either.

Nostalgia at its finest. Brings back memories from the 80's and both the Apple ][e and C64.

Many flashbacks from the original on my old Apple ][ europlus. So wonderful. Huge thanks for porting this.

This is a fun game to play no questions asked, what wasnt fun is when you pause the game and it still plays behind the menu. This can get very annoying especially if you're texting or something on facebook

I used to play this on an Apple II back in grade school. Awesome for casual gaming on my Droid.

K70%
by K####:

Brings back memories of days of old, when playing this on an Apple ][e or C64/128. I don't remember getting too far in the game before and so far it feels like everything has been included in the game as it was originally. If you're a fan of the original Karateka, you'll enjoy this. Overall, I haven't noticed any glitches or experienced and crashes.

This was the very first video game I played in my life! I used to play it in my TK-2000 almost 30 years ago! Wow! I'm getting older!!! :-)

Can't handle to get so far, the stand button not reacting to tab, die and star from beginning! Update: Nevermind... figured out the rewind to last victory!

W70%
by W####:

Back in the 80's I never envisioned being able to carry this game in my hands let alone kick back on the couch all relaxed like to defeat a evil Warlord. But now I can so thank you and good job !

K70%
by K####:

Remembers me for my childhood, but there is no way to exit the game, no save, always starts from the beginning when killed.

L70%
by L####:

This really brings back memories. I love that it has color and is not just black and white like it was.
