International Karate PlusInternational Karate + is a karate computer game published in 1987 by System 3 for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC. Conversions of this game were later released for the Atari ST and the Amiga. It is probably the most famous karate game for the Commodore 64. Its shortname is AKA IK+. In this game, three karateka fight against each other on a beach, trying to be the first who scores two points. The game can be played by 1 or 2 human players, at least one fighter is always controlled by the computer. The game is similar to other karate titles that appeared for the C64 before (e.g. Way of the Exploding Fist), but the finely tuned moves, dynamic gameplay and (for C64 standards) smooth animations made this game even more enjoyable than its predecessors. Unlike the predecessor International Karate, there was only one backdrop, but it was a well drawn backdrop. Archer Maclean did most of the work on developing the game, but the music was written by Rob Hubbard. In 2005 music from International Karate will be performed at the third Symphonic Game Music Concert in Leipzig, Germany. Easter eggs The game is notorious for containing many easter eggs. Usually, they are accessed by pressing a key or typing out a string. The most famous being that whenever somebody presses the T button on the keyboard, the trousers (gi bottoms) fall down and the player-sprite blushed. Other easter eggs make a few characters (such as Pacman) appear in the background. See also External links
