  This was, I think, either the first or second one-on-one fighting game I ever played. (International Karate on Atari 8-bit was probably the first!) Never did figure out the "secret of the drum" for that final stage, though -- anyone know what to do?

  It might look pretty lame today, but this was released back in the ST's youth (1986!!) and boy it sure looked ace. Plays really well too, excellent game. Yep, even today. Try it!

  This game was one of my favorites on the ST. Graphics were beautiful compare with other karate games.
