I used to play this game a lot on my old NES, but I never finished it.
I remember the cutscenes of the "boss" sending his henchmen against you every time you beat someone... very nice k:

Can one get past the "Make sure the disk is in drive A" prompt?

Read the technical note at the end of the review!!!

I'm gonna nit-pick here because I feel there are a few important things this review fails to mention:

This game was originally made for the C64 and ported to IBM CGA.

Well, not really. The C64 version came out the same year as the PC one... The Apple II, Atari 8bit and NES versions came out 2 years earlier, so the game isn't a C64 original (although I know it from the good old breadbox as well).

As for the rest of the remarks... Well, I hope you don't mind sharing the review credit with me (have a look and tell me what you think). [/b][/quote]
My bad on the originality of the versions. My unresearched bad.

As for the other. Cool. That's just cool.

Ohhh yeahhh! This game brings back many, many memories from the Apple IIe and AtariST versions. The first time I figured out how to get past the portcullis inside the stronghold was cause for celebration. (...as was the first time I realized how fun falling off the mountain was. k Great find!

COMMENCE THE DOWNLOADING! :Titan:

For a real laugh, approach the girl in the fighting stance, but only after you have finished it once, already.

WOW!
I played this game almost 10 years ago!
great stuff. k:

I had forgotten how good this game was. And it's one of the few games that I enjoy on the PC more than on the C-64. ^.^

trying to get Karateka to work, I have dosbox, mounted a folder as an a:/ drive and put the karateka files in and and tried to run them, still stuck at "make sure your Karateka disk is in drive a..." any ideas?

READ THE REVIEW as I've already explained it there!

ah, so I'm just falling under the "It may still give you problems" area... I tried a disk - setup and tried dosbox (also went through the tutorial) and it still doesn't work so I'm SOL?

anyone else have any ideas?
