This music is so awesome... In many games that the same piece of music is heard constantly, no matter how good it is, it gets boring. This music here, even though it never stops during the game, it never gets boring!
cool -- amazing how even now the Amiga sounds good. This game was perfect as it was -- simple and addictive. I remember getting my 8th degree black belt in one game.
Thx Archer Maclean! +thank you to lax copyright for allowing all those enter the dragon s/fx (anyone remember Barbarian with the s/fx ripped straight from the movie Red Sonia! oh happy days). IK+ was awesome, apart from you always having to have that 1 cpu player when playing against another person. Have some great memories of playing it in turbo mode and doing super speed head-butts across the screen wiping out all opposition :) Then there were all the secret codes like 'Wan*ker' or hitting T
International Karate truly is a classic. The game play action is just so much fun. It's right up there with Super Smash T.V Gotta love it for the Bruce Lee sound effects too :D
Yep, thats the music and intro - it was an AWESOME game.. My copy only stopped working about 2 years ago.. Gutted. I got VERY good at this game, I would get black belt and then just carry on playing for hours expecting the old master in the background to pop out. He never did and I had to switch off for my dinner! ;)
oh man that brought back some memories of playing that on the old amiga 500 as a kid! the sound in this game is just the best, so damn funny. thanks heaps for the link too!
i live in Germany but my parents are from Croatia. every summer i went there and met an other german-croatian living in Berlin far away from me. I remember that i pleased him to copy this game for me. Next summer- one year later- i got it hehe ... oh my god what a time. Imagine nowadays you have to wait one year for a game hahaha
classic music, and great game, thank your dad from my side, i played this game cause it was fun but also cause the music was so cool!! The wonders of the internet....
we all know how important solid sounds are - especially for a fighting game. The sounds haven't dated a bit since the game release. If anything, they just get cooler! :)
The default high scores initials are: WHY NOT TRY PRE SSI NGT HEA STE RIS KKE YOR THE TKE YFO RTR OUS ERS TOD ROP ORT HES KEY FOR SHA DOW S.. .MO STO FTH ETW ENT YCO DES ARE FOU RLE TTE RSL ONG FOR EXA MPL ETR YTY PIN GFI SH. Which means: Why not try pressing the asterisk key or the T key for trousers to drop or the S key for shadows... Most of the twenty codes are four letters long for example try typing fish.
@jcpadmore - I didn't mean the quality of the sound or is it mono or stereo. I meant, that in the ST version, theres better groove. It's more danceable, so to speak... Now isn't that right, come on old boy admit iiit..
There is a buttom in Amiga if press during in this game, you will play in turbo mode... Is totally crazy!!! :-P 21 years ago... how could forget it... Good times.
I was really good at this game when I was a kid, made it to black and after forever playing round after round at black belt and nothing else happening, gave up. When I went back and tried as an adult I was lucky if once in a blue moon I made it to brown belt. xD
@spacecoke I just listened both of them again and Amiga-IK still got better sounds and ST-IK got the groove. Well, got to admit it was hard to top Amiga back in the days, but you know how it is, you got to fight for your own team :-)
Please use a bigger watermark, this one isn't hiding the video enough.
I think this is one of the best oriental-style soundtracks i've ever heard, seriously.

+mark rattenbury au uhuhuu!!
Half of the hysterical laughs I've had in my life were thanks to this game. :-)
Used to love the reverse high kick. Most satisfying move to walk backwards towards an opponent and then kick him in the face on the turn.
love the sound effects
+mortimer1976 Watch Enter the Dragon. That's where they all come from.
the graphics, especially the soft shadows, are pretty impressive
das war damals eines der besten und lustigsten Spiele die ich Anfang der 90er gespielt habe, macht immer wieder spaß selbst das Zugucken.
I DONT MISS THIS SHIT. I STILL PLAY IT AND ITS FUCKING AWESOME
me to :) amiga emulation :)
I so loved the screams and the yowling!

Brings back memories! I played it on the Atari ST, with a joystick and monochrome monitor.
Back to the good old days when gaming was fun!
21 years ago!! time fly`s when your having fun... great game!!!
space bar to drop the pants btw
really???
I thought it was T for trousers.
Soo geil! Mein erstes Amiga Spiel! Mein Opa hat einen Amiga gehabt, und ich habe erkannt, dass ich Computer Spiele liebe!
i live in Germany but my parents are from Croatia. every summer i went there and met an other german-croatian living in Berlin far away from me. I remember that i pleased him to copy this game for me. Next summer- one year later- i got it hehe ... oh my god what a time. Imagine nowadays you have to wait one year for a game hahaha
Pete Van Berg , from Croatia, living in Germany, yet your last name seems Dutch?
ABSOLUTELY ADDICTIVE!!!! I SPENT LITERALLY HOURS ON THIS IN THE PAST ON MY ATARI ST!! LOLOL
Man i'd play that on Amiga for hours. Awesome game / music.
Ahhh.. the good old Amiga, amazing computer!
Sooooooooo many good memories. Thank you.
Man!!! I loved this game brings back memory's...
I wish they uploaded this to the market place on the xbox I'd buy it straight away...lol
What an absolute classic game!!! :)
This game MUST be player in NTSC mode on the Amiga for optimal timings!A never ending masterpiece!
the punch to the nads was my favotite move :) great game.... many good memories
Amazing game! Me and my bros used to play this all day. Along with SWOS and Supercars 2
wow wow wow u are very good at this game this game was solid when i played it when i was younger. good job
best fighting game ever , never gets old
Fkin Awesome game!! i loved how you could hold a strike after you hit them to look as if you were posing! and the sound effects wore awesome! =D
Loved this game.... the game used to speed up SUPER fast the more levels you got through!
classic music, and great game, thank your dad from my side, i played this game cause it was fun but also cause the music was so cool!! The wonders of the internet....
Ha my dad did the music to this! It was great cos we'd get free versions of all the games he did and this was one of my faves! Being 9 was mint!
Looking into getting a new wire for my amiga so i hopefully will be able to play this game with my wife soon! Will be awesome for at least one of us;)
Reminds me of the arcade game being played, in the movie: "Blood Sport" with Jean Claude Van Damme :) Total classic!
GREAT MUSIC!!!!!
such good memories!
I want that background as an animated desktop picture
the moves were awsome
many hours spent pounding faces and smashing nuts in this classic game. I miss the oldies!
@Reverus
Yeah, ETD is on tv as I type this. I recognized some of the sound effects from the movie. They are identical to the ones from this game.

Aaah memories. remember getting almost 100k points but did not quite make it. Always wondered if there would be a bonus if that score was beaten.
You said it. The Amiga was the computer the ST wanted to be.
Seems like a cool classic game.
This game is so full of win, it's not even fair for other fighting games !
Now I see where Jahtari did took their intro-splash graphics from.
@hanhi
Ummm...I just listened to it.
You actually had me going there for a while!

They don't make them like this anymore ;)
j'ai adoré ce jeu là j'ai passé des heures dessus.
best game ever
Oh man!I loved this! Wanna buy it now as i still have a amiga 500 but cant find the game anywhere!
I LOVE this game
back in the dayyyyyy
He needs to use his backflip (back and fire) and reverse punch (diagonally away) more.. I loved this game..
Oh god! I was so young.
this will become my new cell ringtone :)
I like the music but don't figure the controls out?
I loved that it told you off for typing in swear words - and would reset if you kept doing it
It was so fun to play with my 2 bedt friends! Wish i ciuld turn back time
Strangely they released this on the PSX in about 2003. It's a port of the Amiga version. I bought a copy on amazon very cheaply.
ohh man that game was so 100% NOS one of the best game ever made to this daY!!!!!
Perfect.
LOL that brings me back!! great game
I was really good at this game when I was a kid, made it to black and after forever playing round after round at black belt and nothing else happening, gave up.
When I went back and tried as an adult I was lucky if once in a blue moon I made it to brown belt. xD
I think we got this free with Amiga Format or Amiga Power magazine. Best freebie ever
i used to spam headbutt and nut-shot. there was so much fun to be had on this game
The soundeffects are great xDDD
Let's hope they make a new version of IK+ with updated graphics.
Best. fighting sounds. ever.
love the music...
The tune playing here, is that the actual amiga version of the IK theme?
@fudgekookies yeah....you just had to press "T"
What a good idea can do!!!!!!
Das Spiel ist für den Commodore Amiga programiert. Du kannst es auf einem Amiga 500 spielen. (EBAY) Oder Du Emulierst es mit WINUAE.
Do you really need to have your logo in the middle of the screen for the whole video?
Legend!
I only managed to get a black belt once, this game was more difficult than it looks.
@jcpadmore Ive been making this scene in UDK.. (Unreal Dev Kit) hopefully I can release it on iphone oneday
wasnt there some sort of cheat to make them drop their pants and look at the screen?
@spacecoke I just listened both of them again and Amiga-IK still got better sounds and ST-IK got the groove. Well, got to admit it was hard to top Amiga back in the days, but you know how it is, you got to fight for your own team :-)
omg this game was so good LOl
help... where's the free-ware, no-subscription required... pls... rom version for this suxer..
All time classic. Better than most of the rubbish released now. Play this and you will return for more.
Yes. Can has?
Best music ever
@grzegrzu i recently noticed they are from "enter the dragon" and made by bruce lee ;]
Best frikkn game EVER made! No contest...
Sehr schönes Amiga Spiel, woran auch noch die jüngere Generation (sprich mein Sohn) Freude dran hat.
Also von mir eine glatte 1+
@cokeCph hahah i thought that too, wudnt suprize me if they were
I can barely see the watermark in this video. How about making it a bit bigger, across the entire screen at best?
always genius how they used the sound samples from ENTER THE DRAGON :D
url to the music now, please :(
my favorite on the C64
