      Eli H. ★★★★★

      I grew up on Prince of Persia, so seeing Jordan Mechner's original Karateka get this kind of archival treatment is a treat. The region-free disc loads fine on my PS5 and the documentary footage on how he built the first game is genuinely fascinating.

      Mia F. ★★★★★

      I never played the original Karateka back in the day, so watching the remastered version side by side with the Apple II footage was genuinely eye-opening. The playable prototype builds are the real highlight here, it's wild seeing how much the combat changed between versions.

      Grace ★★★★★

      The archival design documents and original source code scans in this are genuinely fascinating if you grew up with Mechner's games. As a region-free disc, it also plays fine on my imported console without any workarounds. Only wish the pre-order window had been longer than a few weeks.
