THE CHALLENGE OF CHEE FON DU

The World Karate Championships are about to begin. Of all the "pretenders to the throne" now occupied by the Karate Kid, only newcomer Chee Fon Du poses a true threat--in more than one way! The cocky Chee Fon Du has not only promised to take the crown, but also ominously vowed to send The Karate Kid into permanent retirement.

GAME PLAY: As the Karate Kid, you know that more than your Karate championship is at stake. Year after year, you have defended your title with strength, skill, honor and, above all, fair play. But this time it's different, for Chee Fon Du has vowed to take your title--over your dead body, if necessary! You must use every trick in the book to win. Through nine different scenes and three challenging screens, you must lunge, kick, spin, punch and block your way to victory. Will you retain your title? Or will Chee Fon Du make you flat as a pancake? It's in y our quick and lethal hands.
