Play Karate Kid Part II, The Online

Karate Kid Part II came out on the Amiga in 1987, published by U.S. Gold. It was one of those licensed games from the era that tried to capture the feel of the film, a side-scrolling beat 'em up that fit right in with other action titles of the time. You play as Daniel LaRusso, moving through stages that follow the movie's plot, facing off against various opponents in different locations.

You control Daniel directly, using punches, kicks, and blocks to fight your way through each screen. The main goal is to progress through the story-driven stages, defeating all the enemies and eventually taking on boss characters. Signature mechanics include training mini-games that break up the action, and the combat itself relies on timing your moves and reading enemy patterns. The pacing is straightforward but the difficulty can spike, especially during boss encounters. It feels like a straightforward, no-frills adaptation that relies on simple mechanics to carry the experience.
