The punches were completely weak. I totally won that thing with kicks exclusively. Loved that game, despite playing it on a PC. The punches were completely weak.

Not sure how its speed compares to that of an actual IIC. Perhaps we just didn't realize the snail-paced clock speed back in the '80s, 'cause we had nothing to compare 'em to. @Gramsci: Just a caveat to a fellow Karateka aficionado–the emulator version is pretty sludgy.

The graphics really were uniquely cinematographic for the time. I just remember middle kicking the hell out of the warlord at the end, and I also remember the little Thelma and Louise twist they gave you at the end if one's 12 year old self got a little punchy and misogynistic.
