International
Karate Deluxe was
well on the way from multiplex and sprite master Archer
Maclean. The third instalment in the series had a 2-3 screen
background to provide more space for the area of combat. Also
even more computer-players could be on the screen than IK+.
This
was mean't as a revamp of the classic beat-em-up. Since the excitement
of the C64GS around it's release
stages, many companies dreamed up games with techniques never
thought that would work on tape or disk, and that would be perfect
for Cart. IK Deluxe was one of them, and the enhancements must
have been something to be worthy of a cart release, seeing that
IK+ was a single load anyway..
After
the flop of the GS, many of the planned games were stopped and
only a few carried on producing carts. System 3 wasn't one of
them unfortunately, and only got a few of their games on cartridge.
Unless
Studio 3 have kept their old PDS system, International Karate
Deluxe may only be owned by Archer Maclean himself. The exact
state of the game is unknown.
Another
game which faced the chop...
Frank.
