Karateka is the Atari Lynx adaptation of Jordan Mechner's classic, originally released in 1984, in which the player must fight their way through a series of hand-to-hand karate duels to rescue a captive princess, featuring the fluid, motion-capture-based animation that made the original famous.
Published by Atari Corp in 1992, the Lynx version keeps that same deliberate, almost choreographed rhythm to its duels — miles away from the frantic action typical of the handheld catalog of the time.
