International Karate + - History

History

Archer Maclean did most of the work on developing the game, and the music was written by Rob Hubbard. Music for the Amiga version was arranged by Dave Lowe. The game was voted Best 16-bit Soundtrack of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards. In August 2005, the music from the game was performed at the third Symphonic Game Music Concert in Leipzig, Germany.

The game enjoyed a large following in Europe during the late 80's and even into the early 90's. In North America it was nowhere near as popular as in Europe, although it became somewhat of a cult game there as well.
