Advantages: Gameplay, bonus rounds

Disadvantages: Probably not hold its own today

Wow, what a classic in the world of beat-em up games. This may well have been my first instantly addictive computer game as it had everything and more. Firstly the gameplay was awesome - both for one or two players. I suppose with one player the game would eventually get dreary as it repeated just with harder intervals.

After beating your oponent up with various karate moves, as well as famously being able to use the cheat to make his trousers fall down, there would be the bonus stage of either kicking bombs away, or deflecting what looked like beach balls but were probably Amiga-graphic ninja stars with a shield bonus rounds. These, like the main fights, started off easy and got harder yet were highly addictive in their own right. There was also the added satisfaction of your belt colour changing as you got better and better til of course you ended with a black belt.

I suppose it probably wouldn't stand up with some of todays crazy graphic, 'realistic'move games but there was something quite simple and appealing with it's addictive gameplay.

Summary: The ultimate Amiga beat-em up. Addictive and compulsive and extremely entertaining
