  • I've never heard of this, but I'll probably pick it up (with my digital hands) it looks pretty neat
  • In 2005, the US government spent about $71 billion for Operation Iraqi Freedom.
  • Mod

    Shut the front door! This is one of the first games I ever played on my brother's Commodore 64...this can't be happening...

  • this game seems to have its own unique art style, and it doesn't look half bad

  • looks interesting, I'll keep my eye on it.

  • Interesting visual style. Bet it looks awesome in motion. I love Prince of Persia from Sands of Time onward, so I *think* I'm a fan of Jordan Mechner. But the original Karateka is not something I feel like I would like if I tried to play it. So I'm looking forward to this remake.
  • This is cool.

  • My one gripe, and it's a dumb one, is that I always pictured the bad guys in the original as monsters... so I am disappointed that they are people in this one, haha.

  • Cool hope its great when released

  • Wonderful.

  • this is really old, but i remember it!

  • This is so awesome...I used to have this game on my Atari 800 and loved it.  I have wanted a reboot of this game forever and it's finally happening!

  • I think this might have been the first game i ever played. On the Commodore 64.

  • Some great hits just need to rest in peace...

  • I must be in the wrong site here KARATEKA???????WOW I haven't played this Since I was ten. I would Definitely play this update.

  • Loos decent. I don't know anything about the original.

  • I played this on the commodore back in the 80's. It will be neat to see if and how Jordan Mechner evolves the gameplay. His "Prince of Persia" spawned a series and a film, will this climb those lofty heights?

  • It looks enticing
