Digital Chumps: "Karateka is a swan dive through time. It's easy to admire and fun to play - for a fleeting thirty minutes. Subjective intangibles make the most of its run time, but a scattered definition of value makes Karateka a tough call for the uninformed or uninterested. Still, for another dalliance in princess rescue, it's hard not to enjoy Karateka's subtle sentimentality." 7/10
