Very well done

Karateka was one of my first Apple 2 games. Normally, because of control issues, these trips down memory lane end in a nightmare.

But Im happy to say this works really well. Definitely worth the money.

One niggling issue is your character doesnt quite come out of his run quickly enough, meaning you run into your opponent and die.

While one option is to simply alter your own play style to end the running sooner, Im wondering if the gameplay can be tweaked so there is less lag between when you want your character to stop running and when he actually does it. Its not like its a huge lag to begin with… its very subtle, but makes a difference in gameplay if youre not compensating for it.

To be fair, Im not sure this is an issue with the game, or just my own reflexes. I guess if no one else comments on it, its just me.
