It was so satisfying on the few occasions when you managed to do a double-head kick that successfully knocked out both of your opponents at the same time!
One of my most favourite games! I especially loved it to press the "T" on the keyboard and when the fighters stood still, they lost their trousers and you could hit em easily! :D
Bro. You don't know what it means to me to hear the sound effects after all these years. Ty so mutch. I loved this game and always will. Amiga 500 Commondore was the real deal. Edit: Almost forgot to listen to this every day!
The game had good commentaries, a great sound and was totally ingenious in terms of combat moves and fun. i played it with my brother for a long time and we had a lot of fun. no PC emulator was good enough for us. I only found it brilliant with a joystick on the Amiga. ;-))
the first time in my life, when i was to kid, I have seen what karate is, always like a child after i see on tv karate and some movies of Bruce Lee (i know Bruce Lee is other style of fight)
The Amiga CPU must be spending at least 30% of its time drawing Pacman, birds, submarines, the sun's reflection etc. Super tight interrupt code needed for that.
Is it worth trying to license this and reboot it for modern computers. 20+ years ago I heard someone approach Archer Mclean for a deal to license the game for a SNES conversion. He agreed to this for a fee of £25k but the deal didn't get past that. I don't know if it would be feasible to try and negotiate for the rights with his estate or what the price would be today. But say if it was £5k for the rights do those on here who loved the game then think it's worth trying to set up a kickstarter to make that happen. Is there a demand to pay for the reboot? I'm semi-serious but also just gauging interest generally. I would do the development myself and target Android, iOS, Win10 and MacOS.
I always wanted to be the blue guy. Also, I wanted to the option to fight only one opponent. Well. One cant have it all. The game was a blessing anyway. Loved it as a child.
Legendary classic game for the Amiga. When me and my friends played this game, we laughed so hard we couldn't even relax for a little bit 😹! Thanx for a legendary classic gameplay video. 😺🐈😸💾🎸👍🐾
This has been bothering me for more than 30 years now. When you entered your high score, the fictitious high scores before you, show, if i recall correctly: why not try press iiiiiii. What was that about?
Rip Archer McLean, the creator of the game who passed away on 24th of December 2022. Thank you so much for the memories!
Masterpiece of a game he made.
RIP legend...I loved this game. Played it first on the Amstrad CPC and was blown away when I got to play the Amiga version. I miss those times.
One of my earliest gaming memories. Oh man, so much fun.
It was so satisfying on the few occasions when you managed to do a double-head kick that successfully knocked out both of your opponents at the same time!
OMG YE I remember that ahahah
Haha. Yes!!
Loved this game when I was a kid! Music was awesome and the subtle animation happening in the background was always nice to watch.
Still my brain uses the sound effects of this game to narrate my fantasy fights
auuhauhauhaauhuhauhaauhauhauhauhhah me too sometimes!
Stolen from Enter the dragon hahah
Now i am 49 years old, My Lucky Generation is here 🤗⭐
One of my most favourite games! I especially loved it to press the "T" on the keyboard and when the fighters stood still, they lost their trousers and you could hit em easily! :D
Do not lose your pants, I mean heads, over this ! XD
It is amazing how games on the NES and even N64 didn't date well, when Amiga titles such as this still look and play amazingly well.
Totally agree!
Believe that if it makes you happy.
😂
those sound effects are total GOAT
Bruce Lee Enter the dragon sound samples! Gotta love it!
always wondered how they were allowed the rights to this
@@MrLeemacdougall it was a different time maybe the rights holder did not persue it, just a guess though
@@mr_wildschweinwhy should they.
@@steffenhansen6204because of intellectual property
@@mr_wildschweinits more a tribute to the film it selfe
One of the best games ever. I had an Amiga 500 and it was one of my favourites.
When you get yourself to black belt, thats when the game really starts ;)
9:10. This was my motivation when ever I played this. To try to get two out with that stepping high sick kick. Awesome gane
Oh yea, i remember this
TO GET THAT BRUCE LEE CLEANING UP FEELING 😂
=)
Looved this as younger. Also that some soundeffects are lifted from Enter The Dragon makes it evwn more awesome.
always loved the headbutt/bite stance then getting smashed in the face straight after
It's an absolute classic! So many moves! Seriously technical! I love how the sprites get knocked out and/or down. It's so funny!
This, Silkworm, Golden Axe and Hostages. I loved those days
Those "Enter The Dragon" sounds 😅😆 good memories!
Bro. You don't know what it means to me to hear the sound effects after all these years. Ty so mutch. I loved this game and always will. Amiga 500 Commondore was the real deal.
Edit: Almost forgot to listen to this every day!
The fighting and impact sounds are the same ones from Enter the Dragon :)
@@Psikeadelic lol
Loved it! I remember there was some "secret" key combination you could do to cycle through different colors of the sky in the background.
Exactly! You could change the sun color as well.
Loved this game as a kid!
My first fighting game and one of my favorites back then. The music was epic.
WHAT A GAME THIS WAS.....!!!!! EPIC BEYOND WORDS.
now i've noticed, that they climb up in the belts during the fighting, so 50000 points means black belt. I haven't played it a lot but was new to me.
RIP Archer Maclean.
Still playing this on psvita amiga emulator... I have never stopped playing this game! BEST GAME EVER
Average gamer, you played this very well. I always had the bombs take me out
The hitboxes on this were brutal
And the spacing, Literally had to be inch perfect 👌🏽
I love how they just ripped sound effects from Enter the Dragon.
Who could forget all these intense multiplayer matches ! INTERNATIONAL KARATE !
C64 music is unbeatable!
This is Amiga Jack-san
I actually busted a joystick on this game … On several games by the way.
That music, those sound effects , those floatin heads
The game had good commentaries, a great sound and was totally ingenious in terms of combat moves and fun. i played it with my brother for a long time and we had a lot of fun. no PC emulator was good enough for us. I only found it brilliant with a joystick on the Amiga. ;-))
Music & sounds are just epic. GG, i never success beyond violet
Still the funniest game ever made.
Even after all these years I am still laughing my butt off about the sound effects and the visuals.
R.I.P. Archer Maclean
brutal game. you had to be perfect. It didn't like it when you got to black belt and went a bit mental.
Ikr? Got a brown belt and even at 1. Kyu it was insane. Such a satisfying game though
One of my alltime favourites ! Good memories and i still LOVE the music and the graphics design ! The bouncing balls where nerve wrecking…. 🥵
When you pull off a head kick...
"IN THE FACE!!"
Holy hell, I got flashbacks when that soundtrack kicked in!
9:12. Pacman!
the first time in my life, when i was to kid, I have seen what karate is, always like a child after i see on tv karate and some movies of Bruce Lee (i know Bruce Lee is other style of fight)
mother of all fighting games!
RIP Archer Maclean 😢
The Amiga CPU must be spending at least 30% of its time drawing Pacman, birds, submarines, the sun's reflection etc. Super tight interrupt code needed for that.
the first game I played when I was 8, 32 years ago!
The Bruce Lee sounds, just love everything about this game
My first and foremost motivation to play was not to win the black belt. It was to hear them: AUUU!!
Survival horror game.
:D
Best fighting game of it's era. I spent so many hours on this.
Always loved that "kick the dog"-sound - great game.
QUE HERMOSURA DE PAISAJE

I would definitely support this financially
Ah, childhood memories!
This is genuinely the origin of modern fighting games. Street Fighter is basically IK with motion inputs for special moves.
Honestly thats imp[impressive as hell sprite work for its time
it was my favorite game.sounds and graphics awasome for 80's
Music is so fun !
Amiga rulez! 😁😍
Just love(d) the sound effects!
Amazing!!! Loved this so much!
2:37 - 2:43 : Good part for red guy
This game is realistic compared to other fighting game’s
Old memories :)
I always wanted to be the blue guy. Also, I wanted to the option to fight only one opponent. Well. One cant have it all. The game was a blessing anyway. Loved it as a child.
fuck this are memories. I love it. Fucking time goes so fast. We all die soon
this was my favorit game back then
I still play this on my amiga 500 to this day😊
5:39 so luckyyyy
Love the game, but it felt like it had such a huge input lag...
One Plus before Video - Best Game of my Time . THX to you
Amazing game and nice video
I have the C64 version on Wii. IK and IK+. Also have the arcade version of karate champ on switch. Great games.
That was good! Nicely done
00:05:10 man that round was close!! 🖤
j'en avait passé des game chez toi john , les barre de rires
Legendary classic game for the Amiga. When me and my friends played this game, we laughed so hard we couldn't even relax for a little bit 😹! Thanx for a legendary classic gameplay video. 😺🐈😸💾🎸👍🐾

RiIP Archer Mclean
HOW CAN I ENABLE THE MOVE SOUNDS ?
"Survival bonus"
Great. Thanks. I survive!
C=64 didn't have that stupid bomb kicking.
sweaty hands slip off joysticks
Thx 4 uploading
After the frist two karate kids were big surprises in the United States and world wide they want to make a game
am i the only one that ever got to the second level in the dojo in this game
The Amiga graphics must have been shocking for a C64 user and for any 8-bit user in general😁
I could barely play this game for laughing.
This has been bothering me for more than 30 years now. When you entered your high score, the fictitious high scores before you, show, if i recall correctly: why not try press iiiiiii. What was that about?
Someone tell me after all these years, was back flip left button and left on the joystick?
Sure was :) There was only one button one the Amiga joystick (left and right button did the same action)
This game has to be played in NTSC 60 FPS!!! Only whdload supports this! Love this game
These balls are crazy :D
