Comments on Karateka Classic for Android

★★★★★ Brandon Taylor · Dec 18, 2019
Great game! The Commodore 64 version would have looked and sounded better, but give credit where credit is due -- to the developer of this Android version who must have had an Apple II computer (like me!) back in the day.
★★★★★ Joshua Martindale · Apr 28, 2020
I was looking for the original 1984 Apple 2 version of Karate and here it is in all its glory! The touch screen controls work really well for this classic game, and it has a rewind feature to help you out in the games more difficult areas. It also has 3 different color displays: the original color display, amber monochrome and green monochrome as well as crt scan line filter. If you're wanting to play this classic game on your smartphone look no further! ☺☺☺☺☺ ps. It's only .99 cents! 😎
★★★★★ Shane Hurley · Mar 13, 2024
Just as good as the old Apple IIe version!
★☆☆☆☆ Notracks cntfndme · Jan 18, 2023
Apple iie version was best should be an option....
★★☆☆☆ Martell Tha Cool · Nov 12, 2016
Sorry for the low rating The audio clipping hurts my ears
★★☆☆☆ Alexander Congleton · Aug 18, 2021
