The Karate Kid

MASTER OF THE MARTIAL ARTS

This is the game that puts your total martial arts training to the test. Discipline and inner control could be what keeps you alive as you battle your way through the streets of L.A. or the back roads of Okinawa and beyond. You must defeat the martial arts expert, Chozen, at the end of three stages, so practice your moves with intensity.

GAME PLAY: You are Daniel-San, student of the martial arts. Your options are to fight one-on-one against Chozen or play an exciting game progressing through four different stages and three bonus stages. The first stage is a Karate Tournament against four different opponents. But the other stages take you through scenes in Okinawa, typhoons, and a summer festival at the ruins of a castle by the sea. Enemy fighters must be fought along the way, some requiring special fighting skills that you must earn. The bonus screens test your abilities to catch flies with your chopsticks, or your skill at breaking ice blocks. You'll need to focus all your energies for this one!

Think you can handle a real Martial Arts challenge? Then how about guiding Daniel-San through the series of hazards, obstacles and challenges that stand in his path? But don't think that just being able to fight will get you through. This time it's not enough to just punch, kick and jump... this time your total martial arts training will be put to the test. Your discipline and inner control could be what saves your life. You must prove that you are capable of thinking, reasoning and reacting. Catching a fly with your chopsticks or splitting blocks of ice with your bare hand is just as important as fighting face to face with your enemy.

This challenge will take you to the streets of L.A., the back roads of Okinawa and many strange areas beyond. Always keep your mind clear and remember all that you've been taught and maybe... just maybe... you'll make it.
