A classic karate fighting game for the Commodore 64 home computer. A BLUETOOTH CONTROLLER OR KEYBOARD IS REQUIRED TO PLAY THE GAME. PLEASE NOTE: The game runs in an emulator and REQUIRES some configuration of the emulator (See website). The emulator is a faithful recreation of the Commodore 64 home computer.

International Karate simulates a Karate competition in which 2 fighters compete against each other in every round. During the single player mode a fight lasts 30 seconds. For each hit you either get half a point or a full point. The one who has 2 points first when the time has run out wins. If you get half a point or one point is decided by the referee. If you lose once, the tournament is over and you enter the highscore with your number of points and the belt colour you have reached (which rises during the course of the game). During the 2 player mode a fight lasts 60 seconds. And there are 12 points. If a player hits, he will be rewarded a point, the opponent will lose a point. If a player has all 12 points or the most points when the time is over, he will win the fight. If he wins 2 fights, he wins the whole game. Between the fights there are now and then mini games with different skill or reaction tasks in both modes.
