C64 beat em ups, whos the daddy?

Freakyweakywoo · 12 April 2005, 17:42

in the c64 days a debate raged about which was the best beat em up

The Way of the Exploding Fist vs International Karate

So in one of those slow afternoon chats I though, if one played was using the Fist move set and another played use the IK move set who would win.

Then I though (big thinking day today), would anyone ever be able to create such a game, then I thought why not post it on eab and let someone else do the thinking. So I errr kind of did. Over to you guys

I'm confused

Did you want us to vote on which game we liked more? Or combine elements of both games into an even better game which would have ruled had it been released back in the C64's heyday? Or maybe I'm off on both counts

This is a potentially nice thread. Mod should move it to nostalgia or retrogaming forum.

Freakyweakywoo · 13 April 2005, 00:13

I was trying to say, wouldn't it be cool (hint) if someone with some programing skill (hint) could make said IK/Fist game so we could settle once and for all which is the better beat em up.

Soulshaker · 13 April 2005, 00:36

Oh! And we could use some cool digitized stop-motion fighters like in that old arcade game, Pit Fighter, instead of little hand drawn sprites!

IK+ is the daddy!!!

Calo Nord · 13 April 2005, 09:50

Who`s your daddy?

Phiber · 13 April 2005, 10:34

Definately IK+

Original International Karate comes a close second and the third place goes to Exploding Fist...

Freakyweakywoo · 13 April 2005, 12:44

We all know IK+ was the very best beat em up, but if Exploding fist bloke fought the IK bloke who do you think would win?

I think the IK guy would win because he had the better moves.

street hassle is the best :-P

Ash · 13 April 2005, 17:19

Street Hassle was fun and so was Renegade when you got the hang of it

Soulshaker · 13 April 2005, 22:09

Hey, didn't anyone like my choppily-animated digitized sprite idea, à la Pit Fighter?

We could have all the EAB members be selectable combatants, like Street Fighter!

Adeptus · 14 April 2005, 12:41

Since we have (killer) gorillas & (Fred the) ducks (and Rattus... has she disappeared again?) as members, wouldn't it be more like Clayfighter or Paws of Fury...?

Ahh, you're right. So much for planning out neat special moves for each character, like a Squawk Attack for Fred the Duck...

Macca · 19 April 2005, 14:33

Target Renegade - however the three dudes in IK+ might kick there asses...

Mr_Modem · 19 April 2005, 17:18

IK+ is the best fighting game. The idea of three players at the same time is brilliant! An IK+ guy would defenatly beat an exploding fist guy, with a nice double kick!

Photon · 09 June 2005, 13:54

I liked Exploding fist because of the poetic backdrops and soothing music. But IK was a lot more responsive, so it was more fun to play. IK+, where two human players could gang up on the computer (muhahahh) was great. So, IK all the way ...

Given the nos. of moves the IK/IK+ lads can perform (compared to Target Renegade character), it'd be a mauling!

Ironclaw · 21 June 2005, 20:05

IK+ for teh win!

btw, check my old IK+ movie on my site www.retrogaming4ever.com .... just thought I'd mention it while we were talking about this game and cool new moves.... (old movie, spelling errors and stuff, never bothered to correct the shit).

BobRedthorp · 21 June 2005, 22:22

I love those digitised kung-fu noises in Exploding Fist!
