Karateka Classic for Positive User Reviews
✓ YaySame as my Apple 2 C version 25 yrs ago. Awesome..Version: 1.01
✓ Wow....PHENOMENAL GAME. AWESOME MEMORIES. Exact sake game as when I was a kid!.Version: 1.01
✓ Great gameAnyone who said this is too hard hasn't played any old NES games and don't grow up on any games pre 2005. This is a great classic I actually missed out on growing up. It was challenging and a little short, but it was fun!.Version: 1.01
✓ OUTSTANDING CLASSICIt plays just as it did when I was a kid, on my Apple //e and Laser 128 (clone) 😏. Perfectly ported from the original game..Version: 1.01
✓ Just like you remember it!An extremely faithful reproduction of the original (Apple II version) complete with monochrome monitor options and simulated disk loading sound effects. Dedicated buttons for all the attacks (high, mid, and low punches and kicks) make it easier to string together combos in rapid succession (quite a departure from wrestling with a single button joystick 30 years ago) which in turn makes the game itself a bit less challenging for experienced karatekas. iPad/iPhone compatibility and a 99 cent price point make this one trip down memory lane worth taking!.Version: 1.0
✓ Sound issuesFor some reason I lose sound on the game.Version: 1.10
✓ Original look and feel to the insane levelWow :) even the floppy drive sound is present 5+ And it is not that hard at all! Took me 32min to win second time. For new players you have to run until you spot the enemy blue bar at the bottom. Then at one point you can rewind if you get killed I used this 3 times ;) on last run... great job = pure retro joy!.Version: 1.0
✓ Still a classicSome games never go out of style. Simple yet deep controls great graphics and pure fun. I played this game on the apple 2 more years ago them I will admit and it's exactly the same. Challenging and fun. The new feature (rewind) is nice addition but if you want a challenge don't use it and experience the game as it originally was. 5 stars all the way.Version: 1.01
✓ Mise à jourIl faudrait une mise à jour pour se jeux, pour pouvoir jouer... Merci.Version: 1.01
✓ Please update for ios15All worked well up to ios 14. Please update app to be compatible for ios 15. Thank you!.Version: 1.10
✓ Awesome ClassicLove this app. Brings back memories on apple 2e and Commodore 64. At least now you can pause and resume where you left off. You can play this over and over. Highly recommended and worth the 99 cents no matter what age if generation..Version: 1.01
✓ Exactly like the Apple II version!I spent many hours of my childhood playing Karateka on an Apple ][ plus and Apple //e. This is a very nearly exact reproduction of Karateka on the Apple II series. The display is excellent (with settings for color, green, and amber, with and without faithfully rendered raster lines). The controls are well laid out and responsive. The graphics are exactly as you remember them if you played on the Apple II. The gameplay is just like it was on the old Apple II--even the timing and movements are just like they were then, and all the techniques I picked up as a kid playing Karateka work here too. This is just great!!! :-D.Version: 1.01
✓ Old school goodness!This is old Karateka you know and love from 1984. It is rather basic by today's standards, but it is still a fun game and for anybody who remembers this from back in the day, the nostalgia factor on this one will be huge. That the game plays a sound of an old 5.25" drive running as it loads made me smile. For a mere buck, you really can't go wrong. You'll spend twice that on a cup of coffee today..Version: 1.0
✓ Great port great gameReally loved this. Controls are great. Would be nice to bring a bit more of the competitive side to it. I know that this would deviate slightly from the original but it would be awesome to have a score board to see your fastest times/hits landed/hits taken just for replay value..Version: 1.0
✓ AWSOME👍👍👍👍👍👍Just like the original.Version: 1.01
✓ Please update to 64 bitsThis game is awesome please update it to support os 11 64 bit.Version: 1.01
✓ Gamers RejoiceFor the first time since I played 'Karateka' back in the 90's at Elementary School in the computer lab, I finally beat this game. True, adding the modern save feature and a touch of 'Prince of Persia' with the Rewind feature dampens the difficulty of playing classic, but those can easily be adjusted to taste. The sounds and screen styles of the Apple II interface immediately puts anyone familiar with the title in a comfortable atmosphere. For anyone looking to be told an epic tale, a challenge that's hard to come by these days, reconnecting with your childhood or all three combined, this is worth the dollar. I'm not ashamed to say this is in my all-time top ten of games and also easily one of my favorite apps for the iPad. For the Developer: Thank You!.Version: 1.01
✓ Awesome Tribute To A ClassicThis was a very faithful remake of the classic Apple II game. It even included the sound of an old floppy disk drive as it loaded the game! That’s a sound I haven’t heard for a very long time. In case you’re not old enough to have played the game before, be sure to try taking a fighting stance as you approach the princess. Also, at the very beginning of the game, try moving to the left instead of the right to see what happens. The only part of the original game that can’t be duplicated now was the easter egg that resulted if you put the program disk in upside down. The game would load, but the screen was flipped. The fights took place upside down at the top of the screen. Thanks to the developer for making it possible to relive playing a great old game..Version: 1.11
✓ One big glitchAt the first spiked gate, I died. When I rewinded to my last victory, It rewinded me to when I died. I have to redo everything to that point. Please fix this in the next update. UPDATE- it seems that this happens when you leave the game after you die and come back. This also teleported me to the middle of a fight when I died. Please rework the rewind function..Version: 1.01
✓ AwesomenessThis game crashed at one point, but I don't even care because simply being able to play Karateka on my iPad is just awesomeness..Version: 1.01
✓ AwesomeThank you for making this. Perfect copy of the original..Version: 1.01
✓ Like a time machine.Thanks for letting me relive my early PC days!.Version: 1.01
✓ Please update for iOS 11!C'mon guys, update for iOS 11 please..Version: 1.01
✓ Nostalgia at its finestI can't stop playing this game! It takes me back to my childhood every time. A 100% perfect port..Version: 1.01
✓ Aztec & Castle Wolfstein ClassicLoved it! Any chance of releasing Aztec & Castle Wolfstein Classic?.Version: 1.01
✓ Thank youThank you Jordan Mechner, 31 years later I can still enjoy one of my favorite games of all times. Believe it or not I still have the game original diskette and my Apple ][ clone, the Franklin ACE1000, both in working condition, so I can still play the original game..Version: 1.01
✓ Flawless execution!!I had this game on my family's old Apple II as a kid, and I played it relentlessly. Relentlessly! I knew every sound, every movement. This, along with Conan, was my absolute favorite game. I did not expect to ever get to play it again (save for maybe a poorly executed remake on an emulator) but here it is! 😍 The developers really went to task to recreate the exact, and I mean *exact* treasured little game from my childhood. They even simulated the physical sound of the old Apple's hard drive at work, loading up the game and the scenes. Nice touch. At a time where everybody's putting out little 8-bit games, and most are unoriginal, lazy replicas of each other... this stands out to appeal to the nostalgia-seeking gamers. It seems that most developers think that they can use any simple platform, dial down the graphics and present it as something special. But the truth is, the good games from the 80s and 90s were actually unique and creative (much like today); the movements and graphics were simply born out of limitations. Anyway, love this game! Especially running straight into the enemy on accident and receiving that mortal blow lol. Btw, if you're new to this game, don't do it!! Or do it to your first enemy to see what it's like and get it over with. Don't forget, like I did, and get far in the game just to carelessly run straight into your demise. Made my jaw drop, just like it did when I was a kid. Brutal..Version: 1.01
✓ Almost PerfectCan't believe my favourite game from our old Apple ][ is finally out for iOS. Wow was it really almost 30 years ago I played this!?!? And still excellent. Only two faults and both stemmed from an incoming call--the game didn't auto-pause when I took the call and when I resumed the sound was gone. The gameplay, however, is perfect!.Version: 1.0
✓ Please update this to 64 bit!Please update this to 64 bit!.Version: 1.01
✓ KaratekaCool retro game. Love the sound effects.Version: 1.01
✓ The greatest ever NEEDS AN UPDATE!I paid good money for this great game and deserve an update so I can still play it in iOS 11. Don’t turn your back on us fans of this game! This is quite possibly the greatest video game ever made! I can remember playing it back in the 80's on my Commodore 64 over and over again. Even after completing the game I would still go back and play it again. It's so simple yet so dramatic in its presentation. I am so stoked that it has finally made its way back into the hands of gamers!.Version: 1.01
✓ Thank you for the 64-bit update!Thank you very much for the 64-bit update. I was worried this would be lost along with other excellent classics..Version: 1.10
✓ Developer really knows what he's doingI played this game many times a day on my Apple IIc back in the 80s. The idea that the developer thought to have a green monochromatic CRT display option that looks just like my old computer when I was a kid is brilliant. It's all here. The game play is exactly the same. The imagery, the physics, the sounds really are a time warp. I would pay a lot to have an app with tons of these old games on it. Lode Runner, Conan, etc.. A long list of games presented just like this. All I need are to have all the same pixels and noises..Version: 1.01
✓ Great AdaptationThey got the sounds perfect. Well done guys this was one of my favorite games as a kid. Still good!.Version: 1.01
✓ ClassicWhat a game, the only trouble is when i leave the game mid fight for a few hours it seems to put me back to the start. Disappointing but still love it. looses a ⭐ tho, Sorry.Version: 1.0
✓ Great Memories playing this game for hours back in '84!It's the exact game as I remember it! I had this floppy on my Apple IIc and played it for hours... Totally neglected my Atari 2600 for days!!!!!.Version: 1.01
✓ Perfect convert!Great job porting this over from my old Apple IIIc days :) thanks for the rewinds also!!.Version: 1.01
✓ Retro classicAbsolutely fantastic port of the original. If you ever liked it, you will love this one. Controls are great too. Very workable on a touch screen..Version: 1.0
✓ Every bit as fun now as it was back thenI cut my gaming teeth on a C64 and a Vetrex in the early 80's and have fond memories of playing this game on the C64. Back then the color, animation, sound, cinematics and game mechanics were sweet, though I never did get around to completing the game back then. Fast forward to 2013 and I find this game in it's full classic form (complete with faux 5&1/4 floppy disk load sounds) as well as a new version in the app store. $.99 for a classic piece of history, sure what the heck. When I finally beat the game, all these years later, it really brought back some great old-timey gaming memories. As a player of B3, Civ5, L4D2, Shogun 2, etc, I'm constantly amazed at how far video gaming has come as I started at just about the beginning of the video game history time line. It is really refreshing to be able to revisit the classics from time to time, to remember video games' revolutionary yet comparatively humble beginnings. Whats more, while my 4 year old son loves all the Angry Birds games (a little early for Battlefield but he'll get there) it was fun to see his eyes light up equally for Karateka, to see him get excited and anxious as his orange life-triangles appear and disappear, to hear him yell "head kick, head kick, head kick" in the middle of Buffalo Wild Wings (don't worry, we talked about this:), and to get to glimpse part of my childhood literally reflected in eyes staring intently at the screen and metaphorically in his determined gamer-poker-face..Version: 1.01
✓ Karateka!!😀👍.Version: 1.10
✓ It's fun and a massive nostalgia hit. Nice port!Really enjoying it!.Version: 1.01
✓ Faithful remakeFaithful remake of the original. Added a rewind feature mid-way through the game to minimize unnecessary frustration. Brings back great memories of the past - and still fun. Would be good if they enable options to add a bit more to the game. I seem to remember some hackers modified it to include super moves like flying kicks (as a non-playable movie) - and it would be so cool if they can incorporate that in now as a feature that can be enabled..Version: 1.01
✓ Mind blowing.So this is how the side scrolling fighter genre began. fluid gameplay, very easy controls, freedom of bowing, and wow options to change lighting is awesome.Version: 1.0
✓ Bravo!This was a nice trip down memory lane with the monochrome and color display options that faithfully captured the experience of playing different ports of the game all through the 80's. The gameplay still holds up well today on touch devices - a true testament to Jordan's brilliant game design. #HawkPunchers4Ever.Version: 1.0
✓ Jordan...Now is the time to add the cat into the game which you didn't in the original version! I'm also waiting for the Prince of Persia app....Version: 1.01
✓ Fantastic and begs the Prince of Persia Classic TreatmentThis port is fantastic and better than the remake. The only thing Jordan should have done is taken to the next level and made it into Hd like he did in the Prince of Persia classic. Had He done that then he would off had an absolute winner on his hands..Version: 1.0
✓ Karateka perfect!!I have waited years and years for this game to be released again! Karateka was one of my very favorites growing up, and now it's back in all of it AppleII glory!! Love all of the different options you can choose from, and the gameplay is spot on. Thank you Mr. Mechner for such an awesome game!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Nailed ITThank you so much for reminding me why I started with computers in the first place. This is one of the first games I remember playing as a child and it is dead on. I could not believe that I could still remember the theme music after more than 25 years.Version: 1.0
✓ Memory LaneI forgot about games where you had one life and had to start all over from the beginning! I originally played Karateka on the Commodore 64, which had slightly better graphics than the Apple II version, but this was a fun trip down memory lane..Version: 1.0
✓ Needs update for iOS 15Was working great on iOS 14.8. No longer works on iOS 15.0. It loads, I can hear sounds, but screen is mostly just black. Please update, thank you!.Version: 1.10
✓ Won’t run on iOS 11Great adaption of the original game! Won’t run on iOS 11.Version: 1.01
✓ Awesome!Brings me back to the good old days! Superb controls. Nothing beats the classic!.Version: 1.0
