    The creator of the game, Jordan Mechner, used a technique called rotoscoping for the animations, i.e. real Super 8 motion picture footage of his Karate teacher running around and doing kicks and punches.That's why they were so revolutionary looking in 1984.

    You could knock the bad guys back by stepping forward while center kicking. It was best to step forward just after they kicked. You could get in a few kick hits and knock them back without taking damage most of the time. Worked on the main bad guy too, but had to be more careful.
    The biggest thing with the bird at the end was not to let it knock you back into the previous room. That allowed it to get in some easy hits on you.

    Thanks for uploading this! This brings back so much childhood memories! This has to be one of the first fighting games ever and with a great story line and cutscenes!
    But I couldn’t stop yelling “Stop throwing those stupid punches!!” while watching this...... Indeed punches are next to useless against 90% of your opponents except 1) when you’re advancing, or 2) against the hawk. I used mid kicks 90% of the time simply because it has higher priority over high kicks, and it can push your opponents back. I’d usually wait for my opponents to come within striking distance then I’ll hit 3 kicks. That’s enough to kill all of your opponents. As for the hawk, you can just keep throwing high/mid/low punches depending on its position then you’ll hit it 95% of the time. Easy.
    Fun fact: Your first opponent (the one waiting for you at the front gate) will keep standing unless you’re in fighting stance, and you can keep bowing to him as many times as you like because he will always bow back, so you two can keep bowing to each other infinitely. XD

    I was a teenager and got a pirated version of the game! Hacking copy protections on the 5 1/4 inch floppies was a big deal, and different games had entirely different types of protections (I remember one where the formatting itself was changed for copy-protection). My friends were able to copy games on school computers and play them before the school figured it out. Only a few of us had Apple IIes, so there wasn't that much piracy going on. The memories of that are more fun than actually playing the games.

    • @jsrodman
      @jsrodman 6 років тому +1

      FYI: While the MIDI specification was created in 1981, it didn't get to computers until much later, and certainly wasn't available on the Apple II built-in hardware in 1984. This is code pushing in and out the Apple II speaker, which more or less required that you write tight timing loops just to get a tone (unless you were a very creative programmer), so usually the game can't do much else while playing sound. Thus the silences when things are animating.

    Wow, I haven't had that many fights outside the temple since the early 80s! I always hurry, so I tend to get 3: Right after climbing the cliff, one after running several screens, and one at the temple door (then HURRY inside before someone else comes out).
    You can ALWAYS hit the bird, BTW. Just that punches have shorter reach, making it harder. I pretty much never punch in this game at all, while I'm closing in to land punches I'm in range of the enemy kicking me.

    I seem to remember a similar game, with simpler graphics and an annoying but catchy music loop. I could have sworn it was karateka but is been a few decades, maybe there were earlier versions of this?

    I had to play this game on an Apple IIe with the sound disabled. Since the eagle attacks were foreshadowed by a sound effect, I could never run. Sure slowed things down. Also, did you know that if you approach the Princess in fighting form, she kicks you in the face and kills you? It's true. The video shows it.

    You're generally supposed to kick unless you're close in, since kicks have longer range.
    It's too bad there wasn't a sequel. They could have had more variety of backgrounds/settings.

    Yes. He was in the fight stance and she one-shot him!
    (wikipedia) Eventually, the hero will reach and face Akuma in a final conflict. Once Akuma is defeated, the hero is able to rescue Mariko, though the player must assure that the hero is out of a fighting stance, or else the princess will assume he is an enemy and defeat the hero in one blow.

    Loved this game back then, the eagle was @#$%¨ tough to fight (imo, worse than Akuma himself)
    And the "bad ending" was a laugh.

    yes, it was very slow and the controls didn't respond well(if you didn't let go the running buttons, the character went straight to the ninjas and got hurt, and didn't recover quickly to strike back!). It didn't even had background music!

    Much better graphics than the Atari 2600. I remember enjoying this as a kid. Also Moon Patrol, Shifty Sam, and Wavy Navy.

  • @MrRJBowman

    Someone asked about the comparative quality of ports to other machines; yes, the sound was better on just about every other machine due to the limitations of the Apple-II's built-in "click the speaker" sound system.
    As for the graphics on the ports; they tended to stick fairly close to the limitations set by the Apple-II's 1976-era graphics modes. In those days, you could often spot a game ported from Apple II due to the graphics colors used.

      The Atari ST has better graphics, but didn't seem to use sampled sounds.
