Karateka Pummels PSN Today, From Prince of Persia Creator Jordan Mechner

[Commander Fury]

I’m proud to announce the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/psn/">PlayStation Network</a> release of Jordan Mechner’s classic martial arts sidescroller, Karateka! Thirty years later, the 8-bit karate classic returns with all-new graphics and a unique rhythm-based gameplay.

 

As a college freshman in 1982, Jordan Mechner started work on the original Karateka with nothing more than an Apple II computer and a burning desire to become a published game author. Now, 30 years later, Mechner is back for more karate action, teaming up with Liquid Entertainment for a modern remake of Karateka with beautiful animation and innovative gameplay.
