International Karate +, often abbreviated as IK+, is a karate fighting video game originally published in 1987 by System 3 for the Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC.
 
You’ve only got to see a screenshot of this iconic game to have the awesome Rob Hubbard music rushing through your head. This superb game was a beautifully simple fighting game, easy to play but hard to master. The game’s vibrant colours, addictive gameplay and stunning sound win over all who remember it fondly.
 
IK+ is a quintessential 16-bit martial arts masterpiece that refined the fighting genre on the Amiga with its fluid animation and iconic three-way gameplay. Moving away from the standard one-on-one duel, the game challenges players to outmaneuver two opponents simultaneously against a serene, animated backdrop of Sydney Harbour, where scoring points through well-timed strikes is the key to progression.
 
Beyond its responsive controls and the legendary, pulse-pounding soundtrack by Rob Hubbard, the game is fondly remembered for its sense of humor—ranging from the frantic "deflect the bouncing balls" bonus rounds to the cheeky secret command that causes the fighters' trousers to fall down. It remains a high-water mark for the system, proving that simple mechanics, when polished to a mirror sheen, create an addictive and timeless competitive experience.
