MaximumRD Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Digital Eclipse recently released a "director's cut" of the groundbreaking game Karateka that was published originally on the Apple II and later ported to many other platforms. In addition to providing an extensive exhibit of developer Jordan Mechner's development of Karateka and a few other earlier games it also provides a modern refresh of Karateka and one of Mechner's unreleased games.

RickR Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I'll put that on my watch list. I'm not sure where to watch "The Making of Karateka", so I'm sure he goes over that. Karateka is another good reason to get an Atari 8-bit. The controls (keyboard) work really well, and it has better sound than the Apple II version. It's a great game with a lot of little surprises.

MistaMaddog Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I gotta admit, I wasn't sure how a compliation of "one" game would go over but all the different versions of Karateka and other unreleased Apple II games there's enough content. But the documented timeline is the main event...that's on my wish list now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
