Now I know Karateka was never ported to the arcade but I thought it would be a cool idea to make a dedicated Karateka arcade cabinet. My only issue as of right now is what shape to make the cabinet itself. Looking at other Broderbund games I found Lode Runner. I liked the shape. I just wondered if anyone had any other ideas of what cabinet shapes I should use.

You could make its front a cutout shape based on the side-art of a high kick...

Heh, that'll look funny from the side when you see someone's hands furiously moving in the artwork's crotch.

FUNNY? OR EROTIC?

Lol. Karateka, god I loved that game. I remember the 1st time I got to the end, past that damn bird. I tried to slow to walk in front of the girl, and bamn, she killed me. The ---smurfette--- killed me.
Time to break out the old C64 again.

Larrys junk would be the joystick and I could place two buttons right underneath the joystick. The possibilities are endless.

Dont ask me why but I like the shape of this (http://gamesdbase.com/Media/SYSTEM/Arcade/Cabinet/big/Lode_Runner_-_The_Dig_Fight_-_2000_-_Psikyo.jpg) Lode Runner cabinet.

Man I hated that. You would assume she knew the guy was rescuing her - in fact, you would assume that she KNEW THE GUY that was rescuing her, considernig the make-out scene at the end.

IIRC - you had to bow first, right? The game taught you manners.
EDIT: I looked it up
though the player must assure that he is out of a fighting stance, or else the princess will assume he is an enemy and kill him in one blow
It's been awhile since I've played it.
