The Prince of Persia mastermind discusses the upcoming Karateka remake.

"Karateka was Jordan Mechner’s video game debut in 1984, programmed in his dorm room for the old Apple II. Since then, Mechner has been busy with the Prince of Persia series and writing graphic novels and screenplays. He has returned to his first game Karateka with a modern rhythm based remake"
LMAO at this review complaining about the game's 3 dollar price. That's less than a meal at mcdonalds.
Parable's Sam Connolly reviews the PC version of the Karateka reboot! Is it any good?

It is for me, at any rate; the occasional forced game of trial-and-error, as well as a difficult blocking system consistently caused me grief at specific points in the game. It’s also very short, but players who enjoy going for high-scores can squeeze much more enjoyment out of it."
Karateka was one of my oldest and fondest gaming memories. I hope they include the original for nostalgia's sake.
