- Way of the exploding fist, the -
|
|
The way of the exploding was the first karate game from Melbourne house
leading to a host of lookalike games afterwards. The aim of the game is
simple, you must face an opponent in a one-on-one fight. When you hit
your opponent you will get half or a full point indicated by the yin-yang
symbols and whoever get two such symbols first is the winner. Win three
such matches and you will gain one rank and have to face a more difficult
opponent. You start as a novice but you can take it all the way up to
10th dan which is the highest you can get in martial arts.
You have many different moves at your disposal and each is done by moving
the joystick in a specific direction with or without pressing the fire
button. Some are for closerange and others for longrange but you have
to think quick to hit your opponent and win. You can defend yourself from
any attacks but you must block at the proper height because it's no use
blocking high when you are about to be hit on your legs.
There is a two-player option which is quite fun but you better have at
least one joystick because sharing the keyboard in such a game will probably
lead to actual physical harm :).
There was also a sequel to this game with more varied opponents and also
one that had some adventuring in it. Altough the sequels improve upon
this game it still holds up well and all the versions here are worth playing
with the C64 being the best.
Overal rating: 7/10
