bloodreptile Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Can anyone tell me what u r supposed to do in this game? This game ranks with Jinks as the most feeble that I have played on the system. At least I got it free with the system the second system that is. The first one came with Realsports soccer and some basekt ball game both 2600 both terrible.

+Mitch Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 You have to use karate and knock out the other ninjas. I think there are 6 or 7 of them in the whole game. It's the bad controls that ruin the game. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodreptile Posted March 16, 2003 Author Share Posted March 16, 2003 Oh well it will not be the first time i Have bought an unplayable game. When I play it he just sort of shuffles, gets hit and dies..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 It's not 'That' unplayable just not very good. You should be able to play it for a few minutes with some wild kicks and punches. Have a look at the manual to see how to play: http://www.atariage.com/manual_html_page.h...wareLabelID=697 Also, if you ever want to see the game in it's original, very good forms you should check out the Apple II and Atari computer versions.

desiv Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Actually, the more I play it, I am getting a bit used to the control system. But, it's sluggish, and that throws it off... If I didn't have the original Apple II version to play in my Apple //e, I might not have noticed how bad it is by comparison.. :-) Having the keys on the Apple, and just being a little quicker makes alot of difference... desiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Has anyone been able to kick the eagle that comes out inside the castle? I swear every time I tried I kicked right through it. Is it possible to kill it in this version (I love how it just disintegrated in the Apple version). Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can almost beat the second to last guy but the eagle always seems to get me right before I can take him out. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodreptile Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 I have just stopped trying to get it to work in favour of Galaga.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Children, to learn how to play and defeat the game, check out the Karateka guide on the Froo Froo website. And yeah...the bird is unbeatable... Cousin Vinnie www.bigfishusa.com/7800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariX Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Vinnie, great website. Enjoyed all the info and the humor. I remember how psyched I was to get Karateka a couple of years ago. I remembered all the good times I had playing Karateka back in the 8-bit computer days. Boy, were my hopes for gaming bliss dashed with the horrible 7800 version of Karateka. Who is the idiot who playtested, or didn't playtest this game and authorized it to be released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the bad controls that ruin the game. That, my friends, is the understatement of the year. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think I know who the programmer is, but I'm not saying yet... No one you've heard of BTW. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
