INTRODUCTION                            
------------                          
International Karate is a simulation of a Karate Tournament where 
two people can play against each other, or one can compete 
against the computer. During the game, you will fly around the 
world to various locations, and in a two-player game there is 
also a special bonus round. 
                                                                         
OBJECTIVES                              
----------                              
Each round consists of three 30 seconds bouts. The first player
to score two full points wins the bout, and the first to achieve
victory in two bouts wins the round.                                                                          
In a two-player game, the victor in each bout then goes on to the
special bonus stage which involves dodging a flying weapon. 
Success in this part of the game will earn you 500 bonus points. 
        
The winner of each round scores an extra 2000 points, and the next
destination is then automatically on screen.           

When competing against the computer, you must win in each round 
in order to carry on to the next destination. 
                                                    
JOYSTICK MOVEMENTS                      
------------------                      
Two joysticks are required for a two-player game. Each of the 
eight positions on the joystick gives a different move, and 
pressing the fire button gives another eight moves. However, 
some moves result in your man facing the other way in which case 
the positions will be mirrored from left to right.            

When making an attacking move, you must hold the joystick 
position until the move is complete.                       

By quickly selecting your next move once the attack has occurred, 
you will be able to make a series of moves without pausing.

SCORING                              
-------                                 
At all stages of the game you will be watched over by the wise old
judge who will award you, depending on how successful a hit has 
been, either a half point or a full point.    

Points scored are shown on a system of circles, next to your main
score, which light up to indicate half or full points.
