KARATEKA IS A GAME OF KARATE SKILLS AND QUICK KEYBOARD MOVES. YOU CAN
USE A JOYSTICK, BUT TO PLAY THE GAME CORRECTLY AND * WIN *, YOU HAVE
TO USE THE KEYBOARD.
FIRST TO GET INTO KEYBOARD MODE.. AFTER BOOTING- HIT THE SPACE BAR
(IF YOU'VE SEEN THE GRAPHIC STORY, IF NOT LET IT RUN. IT'S PRETTY
NEAT.). OK NOW YOUR MAN IS READY TO ENTER THE BATTLE. HIT "K" (YOU
SHOULD HEAR A CLICK) TO MAKE SURE YOUR IN KEYBOARD MODE.

=======================================
THE GAME
=======================================
YOUR OBJECT IS TO RESCUE THE PRINCESS.THRU BATTLE WITH MANY
WARRIORS. THE GAME IS RATHER SELF EXPLAINITORY AS YOU PLAY. THERE ARE
ONLY CERTAIN AREAS WERE YOU NEED TO BE CAUTIOUS OFT
THINGS BESIDES THE WARRIORS:
1) AFTER YOU HAVE ENTER THE HOUSE AND DEFEATED THE FIRST WARRIOR, YOU
WILL HEAR A BIRD CALL. BE PREPARED (FIGHTING STANCE), BIRDS WILL FLY
AND ATTACK AT ALL LEVELS. YOU CAN TURN THEM BACK WITH A WELL PLACED
KICK OR PUNCH.
2) WHEN YOU HAVE DEFEATED ENOUGH OF THE WARRIORS AND WORKED UP TO THE
IRON GATES, DON'T JUST RUN THROUGH !!!!!! STOP BEFORE THE GATE AND
THROW A KICK (STAIGHT OUT). THIS WILL BRING DOWN THE GATE. AFTER THE
GATE RISES AGAIN, RUN THROUGH.
3) KEEP DEFEATING WARRIORS AND THEN YOU WILL RUN INTO THE BIRDS
AGAIN. YOU MUST DEFEAT BIRDS WITH ONE KICK OR THEY WILL RETURN. AFTER
YOU KILL ABOUT SIX BIRDS YOU WILL CONTINUE.
THE LAST ONE AFTER THE BIRDS WILL BE THE EVIL EMPEROR. WHEN YOU HAVE
KILLED HIM YOU CAN RUN IN AND CLAIM THE PRINCESS.
=======================================
HINTS
=======================================
LET THE WARRIORS ADVANCE ON YOU AND BE READY TO KICK. ALSO WATCH THEIR
PATTERNS. AFTER THEY HAVE RUN A KICKING PATTERN ADVANCE AND YOU CAN
GET IN 2 OR 3 GOOD HITS.
WATCH YOUR STRENGTH POINTS. WHEN YOU ARE DOWN TO 2, RETREAT A LITTLE
AND HOLD OF THE WARRIOR WITH BODY KICKS UNTIL YOU HAVE GAINED SOME
STRENGTH.
WHEN YOU HAVE DEFEATED A WARRIOR- STAND (SPACE BAR) AND RUN FORWARD
UNTIL YOU SEE THE STRENGTH POINTS OF THE NEXT WARRIOR APPEAR AT THE
BOTTOM. THEN PRESS THE SPACE BAR QUICKLY....
=======================================
WELL THATS ABOUT IT. IT'S A GREAT GAME
