Sigh...I put so many hours into this. Absolutely perfect game in every way. I still wake up some mornings and the tune is in my head sometimes. Along with Fist 2's music. Feel privileged to have these memories
One of my fondest memories of my C64. Anyone else crap their pants when, halfway through loading the tape, the splashscreen suddenly appeared coupled with an ultra loud hwaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrooooooorrrrgghh.... An 8yr old me certainly did.
@@j.a.h.vandelaak3477 Bruce Lee apears somehow in this game. The scream from Enter the Dragon, the pagoda in the behind scenery like in Game of Death, the bull like final boss from the Bruceexplotation movies (from Spain "El duelo del dragón y el tigre").
I used to turn the volume up really loud when I had a friend over who played this for the first time and then say I had to use the bathroom, leave the room while it was loading leaving them sit there. It scared the absolute s$&t out of them. I'm 44 years old now, and one of those guys that I recently reconnected with brought this up as a memory he had... Hilarious! I actually had forgotten that I used to do this as a prank.
I played a hell of a lot of this back in the day, because I was tired of pumping quarter after quarter into "Karate Champ" at the arcade. The intro scream made me jump every time, and it was decades later where I was watching Bruce Lee thrust kick Bob Wall through a bunch of mooks and I realized why that sounded so familiar.
I loved this game. I finally managed to get to 10th Dan after loads of practice when I was a little boy, lol. Awesome two player game. The backgrounds and the music used to transport me to the appropriate place of zen.
Great game! You had to use timing, and I had epic battles with friends where you'd be cagey then risk going on the attack - we had tournaments and things..
I always died when I got to the bull, I thought you had to try and jump it haha! I was only young, and only got to the bull a few times, but don't think I got further than that. This was over 20 years ago, so the memory is a little vague!
Nothing relax like this game. Only music itself is amazing, and with all this gameplay juice... This is fighting game, but that sort of thing can be understood by the old ones. It's sad, I think.
You skipped the best(?) part… the screaming attack sound that plays when the title screen first comes up. It always made me jump because you never quite knew when the loading process would get to that point, and I never knew what my TV volume knob was set at until it was too late. But seriously, great to see this, I played this for hours and hours as a kid. I sometimes hear the background music in my head all these years later, nice to hear the real thing again.
The very first game I bought when I was 10yrs old.. I’m 50 now and it’s great to see videos like this that somehow bring back great flashbacks growing up.
wait wait wait. this is not the genuine experience! WHERE THE HELL is the scream that scares the shit out of you on the loading screen (i swear this game took 5 minutes to load and out of nowhere it would go "WWWWHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" when it was just about loaded. oh the memories!
That scream REALLY does scare everyone when it's no other than Bruce Lee, more specifically it was from the movie Enter The Dragon when in a scene he kicked a man so hard that he went flying.
That music is objectively very good, it takes the player to this place that exist in so few colors and so few frames in to the imagination. Killer controls for it's time. Something got done right in this one.
I swear on my life, when I severely injured my left knee I immediately thought about the kick/impact sounds in this video game. That’s the effect of growing up in the 1980s lol.
Hella old school, Man I used to fire this game up just for the chill music and the soothing backgrounds... By the way, interesting factoid, the yell you hear at the game loading screen was actually a digitized sound clip from 'Enter the Dragon'
xiaochicash Feel the same way about the music and background. They are as good an encapsulation of the C64 experience as any. And haha, yes I still recall the loading screen to this day, though it's not on any video online.
Victor Ha A good encapsulation indeed, good way to spend a quiet afternoon. If my C64 stuff wasn't in a museum (literally, my c64 stuff is now in the Seattle computer museum) I'd upload a video of the loading screen myself.
this game was groundbreaking on the C64 - well actually just in gaming in general - it was a really good 2-player too.. me and my mate played this for hours.. wicked.
Damn it. I loved this game playing with friends for hours. But when playing against the computer we never made it beyond level 5. We sucked so much. Good ole times!
well you have the eight directions without fire button then the same eight with fire button which gives you 16 possibles (including walking backwards and forwards).
1985, the year i first seen this game and the C64 and played it for the first time, Changed my life forever. Changed my career path and interests forever!.
I was 7 when this game came out in 1985. Loved it - spent hours playing it. The world has changed an awful lot since then, and I have now visited Japan a couple of times, It is absolutely a beautiful country, but I was disappointed to find out that karate fights in the streets are not commonplace, as this game would have you believe...
This is how beatemups should be, text book moves and no fancy powers and silly gymnastics like we saw evolve later on with street fighter series and mortal combat. I got to 9th Dan back in the day as a matter of interest... Lol
Yes exactly id say fist evolved very well in games like Street fighter and fatal fury and art of fighting ....but after 1994 all the 2d fighting became silly stupid button combos with little girl characters no realism...dont feel like a fight...I agree keep it simple
Finally i see this again after decades ! One of my all time favourites i still remember the music (although the effects got annoying after a while) good work man !
More than 25 later, i always have the intro song in my head.. I had played this game sooo much, thx for sharing ! And now i know why my mom turn crazy with these screams all day long...
Yes.... It was like " Aaaaaahhhh-tschooaaahh..!" 😂😂 I spended so many hours with my pal in the 80's... It ripped 2 Quickshot 1..!! Now I am 50 + but it feels like yesterday. 😢😣😉
Someone please reignite this franchise. A classic back to basics opportunity for beat ‘em ups. No stupid people juggling, 500 button combos, uppercuts to the shin of an opponent who is halfway in the air, stupid tish noises and sprites on impact. This will bring raw hand to hand combat back to compete with with Street Fighter and Tekken.
Played this too as a kid, but from today's standpoint I must say fighting games have come a long way. Exploding Fist and IK... the controls just weren't nearly as responsive as in more modern games, and pulling moves of was much harder. It has the nostalgia going for it, and the real Karate theme, but the games from that era just can't compare to the perfect controls that came with the Street Fighter II-era and helped make the genre so much more popular.
Soooooooooo Good. So simple, yet so hard. This is without doubt a better fighting game than say Tekken 6; I think game developers need to go back to the drawing board and start remembering what makes games awesome.
there was a game like this but it was side scrolling. I bought it from a guy in chinatown years ago and the box was blank with the word "Tekken" written on it. This was before 1994 when tekken came out mind you
I think it went until 10th dan, then repeated from the beginning (or remained at 10th, I don't remember). When I had mastered the game (i.e. could beat every dan easily), I concentrated on getting most points from 1st to 10th because there was no further challenge.
I think it stayed on 10th Dan... but I can't remember either, lol. Yeah, it took me a good while to get to 10th Dan. Then suddenly one day, I could do it and then usually did it every time after that.
i think i read somewhere that they were 'sampled' from Enter the Dragon which sounds about right - 'sampling' back then didn't have a lot of finesse and it would be fun to know how big file the audio files were..
You could basically win every match with just the leg sweep (and the occasional gut punch when an opponent came too close). Took a while to get the timing perfect but that was an unbeatable tactic.
Once I got upto 10th Dan they always seemed to try for the leg sweep so I got really good at timing the knee kick as soon as my opponent dropped to one knee, but favourite move was the punch to the face. Satisfying crack and seeing him flat out on his back 😁
Because a movement of the joystick on its own was either movement or punches. Blocking was 'automatic', so long as you were moving the joystick in the right way while the other guy was trying to hit you. Moving the joystick WITH the fire button gave you all the rest of the strikes, with no movement.
I remember this game got really hard by about 5th or 6th Dan. I’d hope to get a lucky hit in, and then just play defense in for the remainder of the round.
Without button pressed you move, jump and duck. With button down, you do attacks depending on direction. None of the attacks are more complex than button+direction. Same method used in most early games really.

My all time favourite music from a C64 game, countless hours spent playing this, magical 80s memories.
Then IK+
Maybe my favourite music of my life I remember this looping for hours as a kid just so fucking zen and brutal
Now i am 49 age ,I never forget this LEGEND,still i love
That sound you never forget, good memories.

Fist 2 music is more epic and memorable.

One of the best uses of the SID's low-pass filter in a game. C64 was ahead of the competition at this stage.
Great game! You had to use timing, and I had epic battles with friends where you'd be cagey then risk going on the attack - we had tournaments and things..
We had A Commodore 64 What A classic Computer Long Live The 64
Wow hearing the theme is like a flashback just by itself. Great memories. Great game.
One of my favourites!!! I want to be back to the 80,s!!!!!!
hell yes
I played this for hours, I do missed the old days. Time to go back in time to the great video game days
The good old punch to the bollocks was a favourite.
Oh yea! I soooooo loved to make my opponent childless!
Manic Elf ~ loved executing the perfectly timed round house. That smack in the face sound. Such joy. So satisfying. Like 2:12.
That what!?

God this takes me back...loved this game on my C64 back in the day.
Two players simultaneously, music, sound effects, etc, and it all ran on 64kb. I played this as a kid, and it still impresses me.
At the time, the graphics and backdrops looked so amazing....
the colors on the opening screen...the intro music.....great!!!
Spinning round house was the move!
That was so good!
This was my favorite game, growing up in the 80's.

ever play IK+? that game was brilliant!
And the half round house which would change the way you faced in case your opponent got behind you
From memory, this game was unveiled at the PC 85 exhibition at Melbourne's World Trade Centre.
1985, the year i first seen this game and the C64 and played it for the first time, Changed my life forever. Changed my career path and interests forever!.
The first game i ever played. Blown away back then! 😮
I love this Game and the great Music.My favorit C64 Game and the first Beat em Up i play.
Everybody can be good at something... this is very good.
what a game! most epic chilled beats for an 10 yr old kid to spend an entire weekend playing

I did manage a kick in the head a couple of times, but yeah the punch was the main one
Someone told me back then that at a certain point the master in the background himself gets into the fight. Apparently, he lied.
I remember kids in my school used to tell fibs, too. Lol.
4:28 I didn't know you could hit as well. I always jumped him :) Good memories . Epic music.
I remember this game, if I had the sound on my monitor turned up too high, the scream at the loading screen was LOUD!!!

Incredible game. I love this music. :}
Those hellishly loud screams! LOL! Memories!
Finally i see this again after decades !
One of my all time favourites i still remember the music (although the effects got annoying after a while) good work man !
When I had this on my c64, I had to literally turn the volume all the way down because of the characters' screaming.
Is that what they're doing?
More than 25 later, i always have the intro song in my head..

Used to play this all the time, two player vs was all about low kicks 🤣

@@Keyboard_Warrior_X Awesome. Thanks.
There was one move you never did: the backwards sweep!
bloody classic. if I remember rightly, if you were really bored /comitted, I think you could work your way up to 3rd dan using nothing but leg sweeps!
You could basically win every match with just the leg sweep (and the occasional gut punch when an opponent came too close). Took a while to get the timing perfect but that was an unbeatable tactic.
Once I got upto 10th Dan they always seemed to try for the leg sweep so I got really good at timing the knee kick as soon as my opponent dropped to one knee, but favourite move was the punch to the face. Satisfying crack and seeing him flat out on his back 😁
cool i didnt realise you could take care of a bull like that. next time ones chasing me i'll try it, unlike my usual method of running away.
I could play on a single game for hours without dying. jump over the computer opponent then back kick to the head. NEVER fails!
Because a movement of the joystick on its own was either movement or punches. Blocking was 'automatic', so long as you were moving the joystick in the right way while the other guy was trying to hit you. Moving the joystick WITH the fire button gave you all the rest of the strikes, with no movement.

I remember this game got really hard by about 5th or 6th Dan. I’d hope to get a lucky hit in, and then just play defense in for the remainder of the round.
this game may look easy but when you actually play it you will realize that it is a lot tougher to survive each stage.

Without button pressed you move, jump and duck. With button down, you do attacks depending on direction. None of the attacks are more complex than button+direction. Same method used in most early games really.
