kchampvs: MAME ROM Information.


History:

Karate Champ [Player vs Player] (c) 1984 Data East USA, Inc.


- TRIVIA -


Known in Japan as "Taisen Karate Dou - Seishun Bishoujo Hen".


This [Player vs Player] version version was shipped in October 1984 (one month later the original version). This Versus version, however, differs slightly from its single-player sibling. There is a greater variation in backgrounds, for example, with a variety of outdoor locations as opposed to the standard Martial Art dojos of the earlier version. The sound effects also seem to be a little 'sharper', with the speech, in particular, much improved.


This version of the game can be seen in the film "Bloodsport" (1988).
