IK+ International Karate Plus. Amiga Version.

[@DsLmaNiaC]

Rip Archer McLean, the creator of the game who passed away on 24th of December 2022. Thank you so much for the memories!

[@informitas0117]

Masterpiece of a game he made.

[@Ragefatha]

RIP legend...I loved this game. Played it first on the Amstrad CPC and was blown away when I got to play the Amiga version. I miss those times.

[@BlodLoppa]

One of my earliest gaming memories. Oh man, so much fun.

[@cenkhanevcil1974]

Now i am 49 years old, My Lucky Generation is here 🤗⭐

[@Texy88]

It was so satisfying on the few occasions when you managed to do a double-head kick that successfully knocked out both of your opponents at the same time!

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

OMG YE I remember that ahahah

[@Eljulitus]

Haha. Yes!!

[@falagi-balagi]

Loved this game when I was a kid! Music was awesome and the subtle animation happening in the background was always nice to watch.

[@lostsoul2184]

Still my brain uses the sound effects of this game to narrate my fantasy fights

[@AndrewGioiaNera]

auuhauhauhaauhuhauhaauhauhauhauhhah me too sometimes!

[@fighter604]

Stolen from Enter the dragon hahah

[@Strap1205]

One of my most favourite games! I especially loved it to press the "T" on the keyboard and when the fighters stood still, they lost their trousers and you could hit em easily! :D

[@p6mkq]

Do not lose your pants, I mean heads, over this ! XD

[@scepticskeptic1663]

those sound effects are total GOAT

[@ridiculous_gaming]

It is amazing how games on the NES and even N64 didn't date well, when Amiga titles such as this still look and play amazingly well.

[@Kazuya720]

Totally agree!

[@DenkyManner]

Believe that if it makes you happy.

[@DkViking1]

😂

[@spaspecker]

9:10. This was my motivation when ever I played this. To try to get two out with that stepping high sick kick. Awesome gane

[@Agnus78]

Oh yea, i remember this

[@SHINBAXTER]

TO GET THAT BRUCE LEE CLEANING UP FEELING 😂 =)

[@kainau1]

Bruce Lee Enter the dragon sound samples! Gotta love it!

[@MrLeemacdougall]

always wondered how they were allowed the rights to this

[@freddybeer]

It's an absolute classic! So many moves! Seriously technical! I love how the sprites get knocked out and/or down. It's so funny!

[@whintake]

When you get yourself to black belt, thats when the game really starts ;)

[@benbaxter5000]

This, Silkworm, Golden Axe and Hostages. I loved those days

[@monemacomm]

One of the best games ever. I had an Amiga 500 and it was one of my favourites.

[@markwrightrf]

RIP Archer Maclean.

[@LucasJodokast]

always loved the headbutt/bite stance then getting smashed in the face straight after

[@kickstart_1.3]

I love how they just ripped sound effects from Enter the Dragon.

[@sparklepantz]

Loved it! I remember there was some "secret" key combination you could do to cycle through different colors of the sky in the background.

[@nocturnaljoe9543]

Exactly! You could change the sun color as well.

[@nocturnaljoe9543]

Bro. You don't know what it means to me to hear the sound effects after all these years. Ty so mutch. I loved this game and always will. Amiga 500 Commondore was the real deal. Edit: Almost forgot to listen to this every day!

[@Psikeadelic]

The fighting and impact sounds are the same ones from Enter the Dragon :)

[@nocturnaljoe9543]

@@Psikeadelic lol

[@giacjack]

C64 music is unbeatable!

[@auto2112]

This is Amiga Jack-san

[@achilles_wiggen]

Looved this as younger. Also that some soundeffects are lifted from Enter The Dragon makes it evwn more awesome.

[@123Coffs]

Loved this game as a kid!

[@tech8622]

Those "Enter The Dragon" sounds 😅😆 good memories!

[@gtavonlinegunrunner7731]

WHAT A GAME THIS WAS.....!!!!! EPIC BEYOND WORDS.

[@karlamos2988]

Average gamer, you played this very well. I always had the bombs take me out

[@kaptainhammer]

The hitboxes on this were brutal

[@talvinmudhar4827]

And the spacing, Literally had to be inch perfect 👌🏽

[@AndREDraut]

now i've noticed, that they climb up in the belts during the fighting, so 50000 points means black belt. I haven't played it a lot but was new to me.

[@marcoriviera1900]

R.I.P. Archer Maclean

[@Lancorian]

My first fighting game and one of my favorites back then. The music was epic.

[@dralexrobinson1]

RIP Archer Maclean 😢

[@erchiguire2733]

Still playing this on psvita amiga emulator... I have never stopped playing this game! BEST GAME EVER

[@retrostyle7651]

I actually busted a joystick on this game … On several games by the way.

[@Zereniti77]

Holy hell, I got flashbacks when that soundtrack kicked in!

[@adriandavies7741]

brutal game. you had to be perfect. It didn't like it when you got to black belt and went a bit mental.

[@eval_is_evil]

Ikr? Got a brown belt and even at 1. Kyu it was insane. Such a satisfying game though

[@p6mkq]

Who could forget all these intense multiplayer matches ! INTERNATIONAL KARATE !

[@thorsteng1166]

The game had good commentaries, a great sound and was totally ingenious in terms of combat moves and fun. i played it with my brother for a long time and we had a lot of fun. no PC emulator was good enough for us. I only found it brilliant with a joystick on the Amiga. ;-))

[@meangene408]

Still the funniest game ever made.

[@nocturnaljoe9543]

Even after all these years I am still laughing my butt off about the sound effects and the visuals.

[@MarcoSimple1Videos]

the first time in my life, when i was to kid, I have seen what karate is, always like a child after i see on tv karate and some movies of Bruce Lee (i know Bruce Lee is other style of fight)

[@hookedonafeeling100]

mother of all fighting games!

[@jaycee1980]

When you pull off a head kick... "IN THE FACE!!"

[@terror403]

Music & sounds are just epic. GG, i never success beyond violet

[@djshineboy]

One of my alltime favourites ! Good memories and i still LOVE the music and the graphics design ! The bouncing balls where nerve wrecking…. 🥵

[@steffenhansen6204]

The Bruce Lee sounds, just love everything about this game

[@SnabbKassa]

The Amiga CPU must be spending at least 30% of its time drawing Pacman, birds, submarines, the sun's reflection etc. Super tight interrupt code needed for that.

[@lostsoul2184]

That music, those sound effects , those floatin heads

[@Pladderkasse]

Best fighting game of it's era. I spent so many hours on this.

[@wombat2775]

Amiga rulez! 😁😍

[@AndrewGioiaNera]

the first game I played when I was 8, 32 years ago!

[@efe_aydal]

Survival horror game.

QUE HERMOSURA DE PAISAJE

[@rodolphemodeste4403]

2:37 - 2:43 : Good part for red guy

[@ShinoSarna]

This is genuinely the origin of modern fighting games. Street Fighter is basically IK with motion inputs for special moves.

[@AsmusThomsen]

Always loved that "kick the dog"-sound - great game.

[@leecundy4798]

As a kid I used to find this hilarious 😅

[@elgrengo520]

Amk nostalgie pur i love it

[@kubel83]

I still play this on my amiga 500 to this day😊

[@GustoTheGamer]

This game is realistic compared to other fighting game’s

[@rumiak1660]

My first and foremost motivation to play was not to win the black belt. It was to hear them: AUUU!!

[@uguraltunbilek]

it was my favorite game.sounds and graphics awasome for 80's

[@gaah23]

Old memories :)

[@xxxxSylphxxxx]

00:05:10 man that round was close!! 🖤

Thanks for sharing in 4:3 aspect ratio!

Legendary classic game for the Amiga. When me and my friends played this game, we laughed so hard we couldn't even relax for a little bit 😹! Thanx for a legendary classic gameplay video. 😺🐈😸💾🎸👍🐾

I always wanted to be the blue guy. Also, I wanted to the option to fight only one opponent. Well. One cant have it all. The game was a blessing anyway. Loved it as a child.

"Survival bonus" Great. Thanks. I survive! C=64 didn't have that stupid bomb kicking.

[@jimbotron70]

The Amiga graphics must have been shocking for a C64 user and for any 8-bit user in general😁

[@alififali]

sweaty hands slip off joysticks

[@chris1.2]

I could barely play this game for laughing.

[@villehursti]

Who ever butchered the original C64 music score should be prosecuted.

What a game

[@silentzero7]

These balls are crazy :D

[@yungsamus6662]

This game has to be played in NTSC 60 FPS!!! Only whdload supports this! Love this game

[@bassiek3306]

This has been bothering me for more than 30 years now. When you entered your high score, the fictitious high scores before you, show, if i recall correctly: why not try press iiiiiii. What was that about?

HOW CAN I ENABLE THE MOVE SOUNDS ?

[@screwsy123]

am i the only one that ever got to the second level in the dojo in this game

[@alexpankewitz3010]

The joystick of my A500 was done within minutes.

[@martinj.fowler6262]

Is it worth trying to license this and reboot it for modern computers. 20+ years ago I heard someone approach Archer Mclean for a deal to license the game for a SNES conversion. He agreed to this for a fee of £25k but the deal didn't get past that. I don't know if it would be feasible to try and negotiate for the rights with his estate or what the price would be today. But say if it was £5k for the rights do those on here who loved the game then think it's worth trying to set up a kickstarter to make that happen. Is there a demand to pay for the reboot? I'm semi-serious but also just gauging interest generally. I would do the development myself and target Android, iOS, Win10 and MacOS.

[@yungsamus6662]

I would definitely support this financially
