This here.

Never played it, but I know my friend hated it so much as a kid that he literally threw the cart to the trash bin.

Also it's Hideki Kamiya's favorite western-developed game.

I like it. I played a bunch of dojin and porn dojin parodies back in the day that were better than the original. I think one of them feature tifa and the sequel morrigan or some shit. But alas NOT RETRO.

I could never get any good at it, just spammed high kicks since they had the best reach and did decent damage

>NOT RETRO.

FOOOOOOOOOOOOR YOOOOOOU

I read somewhere that Karateka had a copy-protection, that would make the enemies almost undefeatable.

i remember playing it on an old bootleg console
i preferred Yie-Ar Kung Fu

You're probably the same age as that gif.

I'm awful at it. Never figured out how to A) run past the guards or B) get past the fucking gate things.
