Story of a classic
Karateka was developed and launched in 1984, revamping the way i was presented narrative video games. In the documentary the story of the game will be reconstructed, with the possibility of playing the original versions, some prototypes and two remastered versions: the first, Karateka Remastered, is described as “a new version of the original game that includes content that was then cut, commentary, achievements to unlock, and more.” The second, Deathbounce: Rebounded, “is a fast-paced, fast-paced twin-stick shooter based on Jordan’s unreleased prototype.”
In short, fans will have the opportunity to rediscover this timeless classic in a form that will allow everyone to understand its scope and to contextualize it properly, so as to play it without the typical prejudices created by such operations.
