Purchased "Budokan" by Electronic Arts. A Martial-arts style game
this game allows you to learn a variety of japanese and Okinawa
arts (Karate, Kendo, use of Nunchaku and Bo Staff) then compete
against a variety of in-dojo opponents.
When you are happy with your performance you can visit the Budokan
which is a tournament hall where you must face 16 opponents - each
tougher than the last. You may select any of the four combat modes
(Karate/Kendo/use of Nunchaku or Bo staff) to challange each opponent.
The familiar "stamina" bar decreases with execution of each technique
or from being struck.
Nice graphics and sound. Well designed animation sequences.
My big nit is that occasionally the joystick interface isnt quick
enough to respond to certain commands and your opponents stamina
improves about 3 times as fast as yours. This means you must constantly
be on the offensive...which to me defeats part of the game purpose.
all in all - an ok game - worth 8/10 on the Macka scale
Cheers
Macka

I like Budokan, even though it's an MS-DOS conversion. Someone took
the time to make some decent digitized sounds for the Amiga version.
I agree with Phil about the joystick response time... I've found that
some moves are better executed via the keyboard.
The moves are nicely choreographed. I threw my back out playing this
game. Too much physical abuse.

Actually, I was serious about throwing my back out. I haven't been
doing any siting up for over a week now. I just re-checked into notes
last night for the first time.
I've gotten about three or four good hours into sparring, but I still
can't reliably beat up all three levels of instructor. I
half-heartedly went to Budokan, but could only take the first few
opponents.

Ed
Bummer about your back - get well soon my friend!
I've sussed out a couple of attacks which are very reliable...I can
beat every level of sparring partner in the dojo on a regular basis.
send em if interested in some possible spoilers...
Cheers
Phil
