Name: Budokan - The Martial Spirit
Author/Vendor: Electronic Arts
Released: 1990
Type: Fighting
Language: English
Premise: A street tough escaping from his latest round with the law is surprised by an elderly Oriental gentleman who tells him that he fights like a "headless chicken," but has promise. He then offers the tough the chance of a lifetime - joining the Tobiko-Ryu Dojo and learing the true path of the warrior.
Impressions: An early entry in the two-player beat-'em-up genre. Think Jordan Mechner's Karateka with a two-player versus mode but without the cool story and you begin to get the idea.
Variations: This is one of three early Electronic Arts games that only work with the original version of the G/MD console.
Recommended Emu: KGen 98
