I’m sure it’s why Tijn snuck this one in for November 🙂

It’s a little steeply priced, but by all accounts is the perfect companion to this months game!

Sweet! What I love about Karateka is that it’s short. I can totally replay it (probably more than once, too) for November’s discussion.

Haha, yes the remake on Steam is very much the reason why I snuck it in!

I had a look at this after playing the DOS version. I do like seeing a game get this sort of treatment and the new remakes of Karateka and Deathbounce both play really well. Minus points for not including the DOS port though. There is quite a lot of video and material to go through so the asking price is probably not unreasonable.

Karateka isn’t the first game I’d have wanted to get this sort of treatment. I don’t dislike it but I struggle a bit to see what the all the fuss is about. Maybe it’s one you needed to play at the time. Hopefully we’ll see more of these making ofs for other games.

Yeah I agree, it’s nice an old game gets some special treatment, but I hope other games will get some time in the spotlight as well. Hopefully this Making of Karateka will pave the way for other productions to follow.
