I for one thoroughly enjoyed this martial arts inspired game. As one may or may not know, Karateka is actually a remake of an older game by the same name. It was originally created for the Apple II back in the early 80's and was developed by Jordan Mechner (creator of Prince of Persia).

 

I thought it would be neat to show some gameplay footage of the original Karateka game so that one could compare it to the newer remake. Most of the core game elements from the remake are taken directly from the original game. The main character, the plot, the martial arts aspect and even the triangular shaped health bars are all re-used successfully. Anyways, if you are reading this I hope you enjoyed the game as much as I did. Enjoy! :)
