Game Description: Karate Champ is a one-on-one martial arts fighting game that focuses on traditional karate techniques. Instead of relying on health bars, matches are decided by points awarded for well-executed strikes and kicks. Players must use precise timing and positioning to land blows on their opponent while avoiding counterattacks. The game is considered one of the earliest fighting games to emphasize tournament-style karate combat.
Note: The transition from 5-screw to 3-screw cartridges in Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) games was primarily a cost-saving
measure implemented by Nintendo during the late 1980s. This change occasionally coincided with updates to other aspects of the game's
packaging, including the Universal Product Code (UPC) and/or a color change to the Nintendo Seal of Quality (SOQ). Not all NES games
underwent a UPC change during this transition and many retained the same UPC across both cartridge designs.
