Karate Champ was released by Data East in 1986 for an 8-bit home console.

This game is an action game where you fight using a wide variety of moves through simple control combinations. Successfully executing major moves earns you many score points. Execute your moves with precision and aim for “Champ”!

(The game includes only the English version; the Japanese version is not included. Please note that all in-game text is in English only. The options menu and manual are available in Japanese, English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish)

The Console Archives series is designed to bring classic games originally released on home consoles to modern gaming platforms.

In Console Archives series, features such as customizable button layouts, rapid-fire settings, multiple save points, and for some titles, a rewind function have been added, to support players in completing these classics.

Additional options include screen layout adjustments and filters that recreate the the nostalgic atmosphere of CRT TVs back in the day, allowing players to customize the visual experience to their preference.

Whether it’s a title you played long ago or one you’re experiencing for the first time, we hope you’ll find a favorite and enjoy the game your way.

It's not very good in modern day but this game is the foundation for fighting games. Street Fighter would not be what it is without this game.
