About

Call it a sequel... And you'll land up flat on your back. They called International Karate "the greatest Karate beat' em up yet" (Commodore User). And who are we to argue? But Archer Maclean has come up with a stunner: A third fighter. An amazing animated background. New moves (including double head-kick and a spectacular backflip). Re-mixed music by Rob Hubbard. And Balls!

What is happening now

International Karate + is a fighting game originally released in 1987 that has maintained a presence across numerous platforms throughout its lifecycle, spanning everything from 8-bit systems like the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum to later consoles including the PlayStation and Game Boy Advance. The game represents a notable entry in System 3's catalogue of arcade-style combat titles. Recent activity in the International Karate community centers on continued preservation efforts and platform expansion. A new port for the Commodore Plus/4 has reached full release status, developed by coder Ati following a preview demonstration at last year's Arok Party gathering. The arrival underscores the title's enduring appeal among retro gaming enthusiasts and homebrew development circles.
