The story of International Karate and IK+ (on the Atari ST) - (Archer MacLean, System 3, Andromeda)

Today, we are bringing the complete story of the International Karate series, with special attention to the unique 16-bit version of the original on the Atari ST. What started as a Karate Champ clone, turned into the mother of all 1-on-1 fighters in home computer gaming history. From Archer MacLean's classic original, to the beautiful Hungarian port on the ST, and to conclude with the best of the best, IK+.
