Way of the Exploding Fist (The)

This is the karate game that set the standard for 1985. You climb through the Dan grades by defeating opponent after opponent, with a full point for a clean hit and half a point for a scrappier one. You have eighteen moves, including punches, kicks, blocks and sweeps, all mapped to the joystick, and your opponents grow more skilful as you rise. Two players can fight each other head to head.
