Karate Chop

Karate Chop is a video game in the action genre and published by Bubble Bus Software originally released in 1987. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

To become a master you must enter the Dragon Temple and defeat several fighters spread over nine levels. You enter as a red belt and your ultimate goal, besides defeating all the fighters, is to become a 5th Dan black belt.

The game is a beat-em-up and is viewed from the side with the screen scrolling as you move. You must fight each fighter one at a time and you must defeat them to move on to the next. You have several moves at your disposal by pressing the fire button and holding the joystick in various directions. Moves include high kick, punch and leg sweep. You can also make a bamboo stick to help you in your mission.

Both you and your opponent have several bars representing various body parts that decrease when hit. If one reaches zero, either your opponent has been defeated or you lose one of your nine lives. When you move to a new level you receive nine more lives. A unique feature of the game is that if you leave the joystick alone the computer plays for you until you press the fire button.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
