The second of these glorious Digital Eclipse interactive documentaries, I just love this format so much.
I had no idea what Karateka was, despite being, what I thought at least, pretty well-versed in video game history and culture. So it was a real treat to see all the footage and play all the builds/prototypes to really learn about this story from scratch.
My favorite thing in the collection is a scan of a letter from John Romero to Jordan Mechner. It's just a lovely piece of history from pre-Doom Romero.
I don't really like the game! But I love this product. And honestly from a value proposition, digital movies cost $19.99. This is a movie's worth of documentary footage, plus documents, plus games, plus a remastered version of the game. It's easily worth the $19.99 and I will continue to purchase this series the second they releas.
