Developer: Ultravision

Ultravision was a small third-party publisher, credited here as developer of Karate (1982). Two fighters trade punches and kicks in two-minute bouts, climbing from white belt towards black belt with each win. Critics were harsh, and the fanzine Digital Press picked it in 1991 as one of the worst 2600 games, but original Ultravision copies are among the hardest 2600 cartridges to find. Froggo later re-released the game.
