   If you’re looking for what started the whole fighting genre, this game is pretty close.The premise is very simple: You are "karate man in white suit," and you must defeat "karate man in red suit"–over and over and over again. And, well, that’s pretty much it. It’s one of those old, neverending Nintendo or arcade-style games that you never actually finish.The graphics are just basic NES fare, although quite primitive since it was an early NES title. Can’t really comment much on the music, since there are really only 3 songs in the whole game: the opening theme, the victory song, and the game over song. The sound effects aren’t much either–just generic swinging and hit sounds, the sound of points scrolling on the score, and the voice of the old referee saying "Begin!" "Point!" "Stop!" or "Judge!" All of them were pretty cool though.Like the whole premise, the rules are simple: You fight round by round, and each hit scores either a full point or a half point, depending on how impressive of a move you used. The first one to reach two full points, or the one with the most points at the end of the time limit, wins. If you win, you get to play a bonus round in which you are trying to hit objects that are being thrown at you. The game ends when you get hit (which will probably be by the first object, until you get used to it).The gameplay is what really stands out here. You wouldn’t think so by just looking at i.
