19:23, 28 February 2010 [[International Karate Plus]], often spelled '''IK+''' was the sequel of International Karate.
This was also one of the best Fighting game available on Amstrad CPC.
==Informations==
Publisher : System 3
Music : Rob Hubbard
==The Franchise==
Internationnal Karate (1986) was a famous game from the C64.
Yet its Amstrad version was quite poor (mode1).
IK+ on the other hand benefited from superior Mode0 graphics directly ported from C64 version and a better gameplay.
Yet the version seemed a bit unfinished : lack of intro page, lack of varied backgrounds.
==The Game==
Wikipedia content :
In the game, three karateka fight against each other on a beach, trying to be the first to score six points.
After every two rounds, there is a bonus game which is either deflecting bouncing balls or kicking away bombs.
The (8 bit) versions of the game only has the ball bouncing bonus game, and not the bomb bonus game.
The game can be played by one or two human players, at least one fighter is always controlled by the computer. Unlike its predecessor, International Karate, there is only one backdrop.
==Amstrad Version==
Despite similar to the c64 version, the Amstrad one was a bit less smooth or fast, and lacked a bit of animations in the background.
Yet thanks the superior colour Palette of the CPC, it is an enchantment to watch the sun upon the sea in a coloured spring-sky.
