International Karate + (IK+) is a simple side-on beat 'em up. 3 characters appear on the screen - either 1 player and 2 AI, or 2 player and 1 AI - and proceed to kick seven bells out of each other via various karate moves.

Each of the moves scores a different number of points and if you come last in a particular round you are eliminated.

There are some sub-games too, involving your karate-master holding a shield and defending himself against bouncing balls from both directions, and kicking bombs off the screen before they explode.

All in the pursuit of that elusive black belt...

Trivia

This was the biggest selling reissue on the Hit Squad label ever. Considering that their range included, to name but a few off the top of my head: Rainbow Islands, Bubble Bobble, Power Drift, Batman: The Movie, Head Over Heels (including the initial release of the Amiga/ST port) and New Zealand Story, this says something about the game's popularity.
