Karateka ports the Jordan Mechner combat platformer on Japanese Soft Pro Famicom with its rebounding karateka crossing Akuma's palace to save Marika. The representation offers platform with codified fixed pattern combat and pioneering fluid animations in an adapted Apple II formula. Without western release, curiosity for 8 bit Famicom platform fans.
