International Karate Deluxe was well on the way from multiplex and sprite master Archer Maclean back in the day. The third instalment in the series had a 2-3 screen background to provide more space for the area of combat. Also … Continue reading
Thanks to Fabrizio Bartoloni for making a good point that we should probably include the first edition of Internationl Karate in the GTW64 archives, which should have featured graphics by Jon Hare. International Karate was meant to have been one … Continue reading
