Mr. Mike Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 for my money, I would have to go with Karate Champ...remember with the two joysticks? Full Point!! Then the bull runs at you!!!!

Grenadier Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Call me old-fashioned, but on my old Apple computer, I'd play "Karateka." It's a side-scrolling game, where you would take on various enemies, one at a time, in what was one of the precursors to the Street Fighter series, but with somewhat of a storyline. Your goal was to rescue your girlfriend, who the bad guy, Akuma, kidnapped.You had three kicks, and three punches available, and using the keyboard gave you a much faster response than trying to hammer out things on a CH Mach 2 joystick! After you got into Akuma's castle, you'd have to eventually fight his eagle. An annoying buzzard, it was! It took me a couple of tries to realize that you had to sprint into your girlfriend's arms, instead of advancing up to her in a fighting stance, else she'd kill you with one kick!
jedimc Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 If anybody remembers, Killer Instinct was pretty good 2yes I loved that game on snes and N64. http://jedimc.tripod.com/ma.html - what MA do you do, this is my poll.
Bleeding Lion Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Street Fighter hands down.Double dragon and dragon ninja were good too. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence thus, is not an act, but a habit. --- Aristotle
KnifeHand Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Oh my, what a topic. As far as modern games, I would say Soul Calibur II. Mortal Kombat Deception is a close second. As far as classics go, Ninja Gaiden was great, as well as the Double Dragon games. All of the Street Fighter games were solid. It's too difficult to choose just one.

mikaveli Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Without question:Street Fighter: Alpha 2 (Zero 2 over there maybe?)It took me years to master, I only wish more people still played it. Although Capcom Vs SNK on my PS2 brings back all the memories now I have an arcade stick.I always used to model my Martials Arts ethics and standards on Ryu,but alas, I've turned out like Ken Masters The more I train, the more I see the errors in my technique
TangSooGuy Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 If you want to talk true "old school", I'll agree you can't beat the likes of Karate Champ or Yie Ar Kung Fu.
mikaveli Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Has anyone else played the original 1980's game, International Karate + The more I train, the more I see the errors in my technique
