pseudografx Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 What do you mean by "not in Atari version?" I have World Karate Champ disk and it has more than 4 levels, it also has BOTH Australia and Egypt. The Wikipedia entry says "allows you to compete in either Australia or Egypt". You can't choose the location in the Atari version. -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com 1023550[/snapback] Well, you can with that ADZM cheat (which is incorporated in the original version of World Karate Championship). Though in that version you can also fight in different locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.atarimania.com Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 For those interested, the instructions and original tape version of the game have just been uploaded: http://www.atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?...VERSION_ID=2592 -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other backgrounds? @ Anybody: So, how about a list of the different versions? From what I seem to understand now, there is the IK and WKC versions for the Atari, and then there is also tape and disk versions, and some versions have 2, 4 or more screens? I know my WKC has at least 8 levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 From this site: http://ekranownia.atari8.info/galeria.php?lit=i What the heck is going on here? I thought that IK wasn't released for the Atari? And those graphics look absolutely wonderful... kinda like the Atari ST graphics! But then again, many games in that site's listing seem to have extremely good graphics for an Atari, and I've never heard of most of them, so I don't know what exactly that site lists. (For those who don't know, the Atari ST had an "official" port with completely revamped graphics no other system got.) I guess it's against the forum rules to ask where to acquire this... ahem... But just so you know how serious I am about wanting to learn more about this: 1023064[/snapback] What?!? No ORIGINAL 8&16-bit versions in your collection? Where's your ST version? You gotta play either the Atari 8-bit or C64 versions to understand how good this game really is...no other versions compare IMHO. I've tried the ST&Amiga versions too, which in my opinion aren't as fun for some reason, maybe it's just a nostalgia thing as I never played the 16-bit versions 20 years ago, only in recent years. But I've tried none of the new remakes you have there. Probably never will, I'm satiisfied and prefer the 8-bit computer versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only recently that I've begun collecting certain games, but the trouble for me is that I'm sort of allergic to buying used products, and finding NIB games is rather difficult and costly (especially so since I remove the shrink wrap anyway so the value immediately drops). Also, to be picky, the CD32 & Playstation versions are 100% perfect ports of the 16-bit IK+ Edited February 27, 2006 by eobet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Just to clarify on the C64 version here (as I too own the System 3 disk release which has Atari on one side, C64 on the other), you can load two different games on the C64 disk. Both are identical but have a different set of four backdrops. Guess they couldn't squeeze all eight into the one load. C64 version didn't hit the shelves until early 86 so I'm not sure where the reference in Wiki to 1985 comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) Another difference is that there is no London scene in the Atari version! Edit...

+CharlieChaplin Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Well, my original IK disk from System 3 had 7 screens (loaded good with ADZM cheat). My original IK tape from System 3 had 3 screens per tape side (A+B = total of 6 different screens) - one screen from the disk version was missing on that tape (don`t remember which one it was)... -Andreas Magenheimer.

Tickled_Pink Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 and archer wrote the atari version first as far as i know... Yes, I believe it was previewed on the Atari first (in Computer & Video Games) but the game didn't have music or sound effects! I think it took a couple of months before Rob Hubbard converted the tune to the Atari so the C64 version probably hit the shelves first! -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com 1023109[/snapback] That was the first copy I had of WKC. Still an excellent game even without sound; just add your own 'haiyaaaa' sounds. Sold an original copy of IK (flippy disk with A8 and c64 versions on same disk) on ebay a couple of years ago.

Allas Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Its a pity Rob Hubbard didnt create a complete music version for Atari. Basically the real music has 3 different parts, and Atari Music IK has only 2 of them. I think that was for save memory for 48K compatible 800 version.

Allas Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) I can imagine Rob Hubbard trying to programming one of his best music in a simple 8bit wide 4 channels POKEY, really he should take more time to finish. I dont remember where, but I read Hubbard copy the IK music from a japanese song. Edited March 7, 2006 by Allas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
