Karateka

Number 18.

Okay, Karateka.

I can't believe this didn't come out on the Amiga originally.

Maybe there's one now, but this is Karateka, a 1988 graphical update to Jordan Mechner's Apple II Classic.

It was ported to almost every other computer in existence except the Amiga, at least back then.

Now, it may be out now.

There is nothing.

Okay.

I like Budokan, yeah.

Yeah, you could arguably count Karateka also as being a one-on-one fighter.

Sort of a hybrid in that it's also kind of a platformer at the same time, but generally you are fighting one opponent at once and then it functions more or less like a one-on-one fighter.

So a number of people were taking stabs at this concept and it certainly makes sense.

Yeah, definitely.

You ever played Karateka?

I haven't.

I hadn't even heard of it until I started researching this.

I don't know for sure.

With Mr. Mechner being...

Jordan Mechner, by the way, I'm not sure we mentioned it yet, is the man who created Prince of Persia and this game Karateka, which is a one-on-one fighting game.

Very, very early.
