History.dat entry:
Karate Champ (c) 1984 Data East USA.
A seminal 1-on-1 fighting game set over the course of a karate tournament, Karate Champ was the first game of its type and would influence every game of the fighting genre that followed. Karate Champ's control system utilised a somewhat awkward dual joystick control system, with simultaneous joystick manipulation required to execute even the simplest of kicks.
- TECHNICAL -
Main CPU : Zilog Z80 (@ 3 Mhz)
Sound CPU : Zilog Z80 (@ 3 Mhz)
Sound Chips : (2x) General Instrument AY8910 (@ 1.5 Mhz), DAC
Players : 2
Control : Double 4-way joysticks
- TRIVIA -
Karate Champ was released in September 1984 in the USA.
This game is known in Japan as "Karate Dou".
This is where an entire genre began; the 1-on-1 fighting game. The list of titles Karate Champ would go on to inspire is near-endless - needless to say, without this game, "Street Fighter", and countless others like it, might never have happened. The only description that can truly do this game justice is seminal.
Alexander Stojanovic holds the official record for this game with 250600 points on January 7, 2011.
Michael Jackson used to own this game. It was sold at the official Michael Jackson Auction on April 24, 2009.
