Title: Karateka for Android

Put this on my phone 2 days ago. Very very good port. I've been playing it on an NES emulator lately and it sucks. There timing is all off.

Since putting this on my phone I have played it about 4 times. I haven't got into the fortress yet - I do great, but get greedy thinking I can "make it" and end up running into the guy right inside the door. He drops me like a sack of crap. Anyways if you're sick of the free, ad filled junk on the play store this might float your boat.

All I get is the satisfaction of beating the hell out of everyone except the bird!

Ha!  That bird is a dick.  I downloaded this for my iPhone about 8 months ago.  It really played well.

That's also where I originally played it. Anyone have any tips? Like, is punching EVER useful?

Just wanted to announce that I beat it yesterday on my lunch break at work. Take that, eagle-jerk. And to celebrate, I'm going to pick up one of these shirts:

I remember the first time I beat the final guy & thought I was going to win the game.
Then I got Falcon punched because I was in a fighting stance. :laugh2:
