I was playing this game nearly 18 years ago and i had so many scary embedded memories about this game even now when i watch this i feel weird isolated scared and a bit alone.
dude.. i felt the same way as a child. i didnt enjoy playing this game when my old man got it for me. something about the game scared me. must have been the sounds and the horns xD
Oh wow I remember trying this game as a kid, we had no instructions so we had no idea there was even a fighting stance so we just died at the first enemy every time lol
This was such a weird game for those times. Those in-game cutscenes, that background 8-bit seashore wave sounds, ths slow mo fighting....definitely a classic!
Thank you for putting this online. I played this for years until got to the princess, and on that stage, i was wondering what to do, and as i approached her, surprisingly she would kill me, but then after days and days trying, i finally found out the trick that you had to run towards her. Just imagine how amazed i felt. Now, looking at this and seeing that so many of you had the same great time, this put me in on a high. Great time, simple things bringing great impact....a bit different from today😊
Edward Elrich Just like regular fighters, if the hawk hits you as you are running, you will die instantly. When you hear the indication that the hawk is about to appear, stop running, and get into fighting stance. If you time your strike correctly at the right height, you can hit the hawk and avoid taking any damage from the encounter. However, even if you do not manage to hit the hawk, as long as you are in fighting stance, you will take two hit points worth of damage, which you can easily withstand and eventually regain.
42 YOA, still remembering people staring as I frantically tapped the gnikcuf SPACEBAR HIYAH!! Turing around like " YEAH!!!! WHO ELSE WANTS SOME??!!! ???? AND THEN THERE WAS the beautiful CARMEN SAN DIEGO😁😁😊😊😊😊😊😆😁😁😁😁
I clearly remember this game in my childhood playing with my brother. It was fun, scary and frustrating back then. Seeing this now makes my blood boil and my hair tingling in nostalgia. It was really fun time in my life. 💙
For anyone new to this game, the final room with the girl has a pretty interesting outcome if you decided to stay in a fighting stance, as she will actually DEFEAT you because she thought you were looking for a fight. Damn, that lady has some fight in her.
If I remember correctly, if you didn't run up to the princess at the end, she kicked your ass dead, because you would instead approach her in a fighting stance.
This was the comment I was looking for. I worked my ass off figuring out so many rules and patterns and actually beat this super hard game…except as I ran to the Princess, I remembered that getting hit while running is instant death. So, I walked to her, like every other character. Suddenly, she no longer assumed a hugging posture. And she kicked my ass to death. One wonders why I needed to save her in the first damned place. 😂 I had to go through all that 💩 again just to try breaking all the rules I’d learned before and running to her for an embrace.
Crazy how back in the day we'd scratch and claw our way through a soul crushing and punishing game like this for a single screen with "congratulations" on it
there's this eerie feel to this game, the ominous music, the slow paced movement of the characters and your fragile character that dies in like 3 hits all add up to trigger anxiety.
Finishing this game as a kid is definitely one of my biggest achievements of all time. Edit: finished watching the video, was wondering throughout the gameplay whether i really finished it or not until the last trap where the boss punches you the moment you enter the room, how the heck did i finish it ?
my 25-year struggle trying to not only find this game but actually FINALLY figure out how you get past the 2nd level is now complete. I can die at peace.

This game used to make me so anxious when I was a kid. idk if it's the visuals or the sound, it's just so weird. It still feels weird now more than a decade and half later....
My brother and I didn't know how to play this game at first. When we pressed the buttons while it was in its initial running stance it bowed. So we made a really dumb theory that you had to run quickly to the enemy and press the button, so you would tackle and hit them with your head haha
Ese pajarrajo es un incertidumbre,cada vez que viene hacia voz,no sabes si le vas a dor un golpe o si te va a atacar,sin dudas el enemigo mas dificil del juego..
Los puños son efectivos contra los pajarrajos, en la segunda fase, pero casi al pelear contra en jefe te aparecen un montón de pájarracos y hay puedes usar la patada
@@jetsonduarte sip, un jugador se acerco al jefe para golpearlo y lo hizo justo cuando su novia está dentro. Pero creo que si te acercas mucho, el jefe te da muchos golpes que no puedes esquivarlo te deja casi sin vida, es donde no te queda otra opción que alejarse
My brother and I didn't know how to play at first. We made a really funny theory that you had to run quickly and bow to the enemy, so that you would tackle them.
I get killed by the door 20 times continiously after that I come to know that we r suppose to press upper button and we have to move forward till the door line and then we have to wait until the door opens
When I was a kid, I used to think that the lifebar of the player and enemy (when moving to the next enemy) seems so unfair, but now realizing that this is how increasing level and difficulty works.
this game... it felt as good as a kung fu movie.. it scared me as a child when i die in the game then that black screen appears and i have to restart the ENTIRE console to play again golden days, the sea sounds made me relax
The most pivotal moment on the floor occurs at the very end where a spiked gate stands in front of the entrance to the dungeon where Mariko is kept. The enemies can't trigger the gate, but you can. If you try to rush through the gate, walking or running, the spikes will immediately slam down on you and kill you instantly. In order to bypass this death trap, you must inch towards the gate until your foot is right by the edge of the entrance. Then you must advance your fighter just enough to trigger the gate, and pull back in time to prevent the gate from killing him. If you do it correctly, the gate will fall in front of you.
+Roarkethemerciless First you have to be in running mode and run and do that shohn-ryu karate salute just before the gate close down on you. If you time your moves, everything will work fine. It really is the only way to do it.
I could only finished this game on PC (DOS) version by doing a middle kick to trigger the guillotine, then run forward when the guilottine slowly rise up. for some odd reasons in NES version the guilottine keep killing my character no matter what method I use in any gaming site.

Same goes if you are in a actual Karate sparring. If you try to use your fists on your opponent, you'll lack lower defense and your opponent will use that advantage to front kick.
07:44 You know, I've never been able to get through that white portal in the past. I always die past it, I don't know why. and I never know the scene after that. thanks for this video

You're absolutely right, this game is really scary. I don't know why and even now
Sorry you feel like that bro, maybe if you keep a picture of the game on your phone it might help ypu get that fear
Their is so much drama with the two running at each other
Ahhaha aways wtf time

its always funny too fall of a cliff at the start of the game XD
Ya lol
Hahah i know i miss the memories
That would be a steam achievement nowadays.

It is fun too when you bow while in a fight
Oh wow I remember trying this game as a kid, we had no instructions so we had no idea there was even a fighting stance so we just died at the first enemy every time lol

OMG i was looking for this game for so many years :') this was part of my childhood, i love it
that bird and that fvcking guillotine gate were the most annoying obstacles when I played this game.

Yeah I saw that outcome and made me ask how tf she got kidnapped when she can obliterate the whole dojo herself.
If I remember correctly, if you didn't run up to the princess at the end, she kicked your ass dead, because you would instead approach her in a fighting stance.
that happened to me when i played it on commodore 64!

What's the actual name of this game I remember playing it in school on a floppy disc computer. It was the first game I beat like back in 84 or 85
@@macombcougars1112
I remember well.
It was called Karateka.
*Nes games up for auctions on ebay here: **www.ebay.ca/usr/retrogamestrading*
good memories i played this when i was six years old its so good to watch this again
Anyone so scared as a kid all they did to their enemy was bow?

The Music, the Graphics ohhh!! It felt amazing in Childhood 😂.. Nostalgic 💯🔥
Always wanted to see how it ends. Thank-You so much.
It amazing to know that I used to play this game before when I was a kid and now we get something like Sifu. Technology rocks!
I'm OK if I lost to men with bull heads. I'm just bloody pissed when it's a bird...
Fair enough, really

After 30 years I found the name of this game today finally. Saw it on a pc when I was around 8 at a friend's house.

Ese pajarrajo es un incertidumbre,cada vez que viene hacia voz,no sabes si le vas a dor un golpe o si te va a atacar,sin dudas el enemigo mas dificil del juego..
Los puños son efectivos contra los pajarrajos, en la segunda fase, pero casi al pelear contra en jefe te aparecen un montón de pájarracos y hay puedes usar la patada
Hay una versión en stream llamado karateca es más facil
@@Dr.Antraxmon cierto pero ya le encontre la vuelta a esta version de karateka y al final no era tan dificil pasarlo..
@@jetsonduarte sip, un jugador se acerco al jefe para golpearlo y lo hizo justo cuando su novia está dentro.
Pero creo que si te acercas mucho, el jefe te da muchos golpes que no puedes esquivarlo te deja casi sin vida, es donde no te queda otra opción que alejarse
You deserve much love after that adventure
When I first played this game I thought it was broken because I died in the first stage cause I didn't know how to punch or kick.
Hahaha .... same
My brother and I didn't know how to play at first. We made a really funny theory that you had to run quickly and bow to the enemy, so that you would tackle them.
The door was the one enemy i can never get past anyone else?
same here
me too
@@adilazaankhan965 Me three.
yeah same here worst thing if you wait long enough another set of warrior will come again, felt like never ending, 😅
I get killed by the door 20 times continiously after that I come to know that we r suppose to press upper button and we have to move forward till the door line and then we have to wait until the door opens
7:44 hahahahaha 😂
Lol
Never forget this scene and sound as a child 0:48..good times
That stupid bird!!
That combo at the end was epic...
🙄 I finished this game after watching this video. Passing the gate is impossible without seen this video😁
When I was a kid, I used to think that the lifebar of the player and enemy (when moving to the next enemy) seems so unfair, but now realizing that this is how increasing level and difficulty works.
I always felt this game needed more combos! But the close punch thing was the most helpful of all!
I remember spending so much time in this game just to get killed by the spike gate
Only a 2000 to 2015 kid can understand this feeling 😌😌
I killed by the door & my dream was incomplete to finish this game but thanks to you now I can die peacefully 😅😅😅
7:43 Depression of many 90's kids including me 😭😭😭
i used to always die by the white gate falling on me , Finally i get to see after so many years what lies behind it .
Lembro que se você passasse lotado pelos cara sem se posicionar pro combate, morria na hora kkkk melhores tempos, sdds ♥️
Sim kkkk

It's like catching hold of that childhood bully and ending the trauma😂😅
I remember playing this on an Apple IIe back in middle school. I didn't even realize it was on the NES as well.
Me too!
this game... it felt as good as a kung fu movie..
it scared me as a child when i die in the game then that black screen appears and i have to restart the ENTIRE console to play again
golden days, the sea sounds made me relax
Remember getting addicted to this game playing with my sister never finished the game, it was so hard but it's fun
playing this at x2 speed is so much fun!
Yeah its probably better at that speed lol. I was not that fast on this one but at least i reached my goal.
Thank you for uploading this, I always wondered what the ending was like.
Congratulations. I love you.
WOW...what an ending 👏👏👏
Now i can die in peace 😂
After watching the end of this game😂
Thanks👍
Finally, 18 years later of playing this game for first time, I've finished!
Años queriendo saber como terminaba...gracias!!!
Yo tambien termiando mi infancia jajaja
@@leonardoYT87 jajaja y si jaja porque siempre siempre no al manos yo no pasaba de la parte 2 jaja
Nunca supe cómo pasar esa puerta ,siempre por años desde morro me pasaba a matar .,y hasta ahora supe también como termina este juegazo
Y hasta tiene un final alternativo
30 años y al fin supe que sigue después de la reja 😁
i could never pass thru that net at 7:50.. it chops me in half :(

Same here. That's why I came here to see how it's done.
+Heroes of Xanadu - Sloth You don't pull back. In the video is clearly shown that you advanced, not pulled back. The game is glitched.
+Roarkethemerciless First you have to be in running mode and run and do that shohn-ryu karate salute just before the gate close down on you. If you time your moves, everything will work fine. It really is the only way to do it.

for some odd reasons in NES version the guilottine keep killing my character no matter what method I use in any gaming site.
I recalled each time I approached the first guy I will stand straight and bow....and he will bow back....I will make him bow dozen times to each other
I swear that "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist" got the idea for that endless running scene from this game haha. "Chosen one!" "I'm coming!"
14:59
Best part
The cinematic effect were a real deal.
Used to love this game--regardless of how hard & frustrating this damn game was at times

"At times"?
seeing the boss's health regenerate is so exhausting
23:43 Aww, I love you too, game.
Never thought of kicking front is the only best strategy to beat em all
Same goes if you are in a actual Karate sparring. If you try to use your fists on your opponent, you'll lack lower defense and your opponent will use that advantage to front kick.
I loved this game
I remember playing this game back in 1994, it was challenging back then.
Nostalgic trip
When i was a kid i always vow in enemy before fighting 3 times giving them respect

With money!"
"Atatatatatata- oh i mean "ora ora ora ora ora ORA"
The door is more savage than the boss
When I was a kid there was a rumor that when you reach the girl, you have to bow or else she'll kick you in the head and kill you in one shot.
No, if you approach her in combat stance, she will kick you in the groin and kill you
Is there a clip of this?
Nevermind...found it. ua-cam.com/video/Vo1PYkKU6ck/v-deo.html
Cool!
Had no idea Nintendo had this. I had this game for my atari 7800. Beat it several times. Pain in the butt
Am i the only one who always endup bowing like shit endlessly in this game back then..hahahaha..
well you're not the only here..me too 😂
Imagine sprinting all the way, then as you about to bow your head on the enemy you got slapped with a kick XD
15:08 how does he go feom almost no health before the bird to almost full health?
The game Decreaes your health per enemy
So relaxed after watching the end nice memories could cross the gate anyways atleast watched the end
Feels like playing clock tower
This feels so weird the sound and mood. The game is so hard, probably the most hardest game in Family Computer. Nice to see the ending part. 😂
oh my beautiful memories 1980 -1990
The movements are extremely pleasing and quite realistic imho.
still better than pacquiao mayweather
lol ahahah
you are god, i never was capable of pass the part of the door
at the end i love you was so sweet.i think i have never seen this in any other game
This game scared the crap out of me,to this day this type of music creeps me out
I playing this game in 1992 now 2019... Long time 😭
Have u cleared this game
07:44 You know, I've never been able to get through that white portal in the past. I always die past it, I don't know why. and I never know the scene after that. thanks for this video
