The Making of Karateka Reviewed by Cyril Lachel on . No matter if you grew up loving this classic beat ‘em up or are only now hearing about it for the first time, The Making of Karateka is for you. This is an immensely enjoyable trip through Jordan Mechner’s early days, giving us an insight on the creative process and the highs and lows of game development. This must-own package comes with more than a dozen games, including prototypes, ports, variations and a number of Jordan’s early shoot ‘em ups that were previously unreleased. It’s also filled with interviews, documentary footage and all kinds of images, taking you along for a surprisingly emotional and heart-warming story about the early days of game development. I would call The Making of Karateka one of the best games of the year, but it’s so much more than that. Rating: 100%
