International 64k Rate

International 64k Rate comes from Poke53280, a name associated with the more obscure corners of independent computer-game development. The title sounds like it might involve international competition and a technical limitation, although the available information about the game itself is frustratingly scarce. That uncertainty gives it a certain retro charm: before every obscure release acquired a wiki page, gameplay video and lengthy discussion thread, some games simply existed on the internet, waiting for curious players to find them. If you enjoy digging into the less documented side of PC gaming, International 64k Rate is an intriguing reminder that gaming history is full of small releases that never quite made it into the mainstream record books.

“This is a free remake of the C64 classic International Karate +. It plays like the original game in terms of gameplay and the character movements, yet it can be played by three human players simultaneously. The player and sensei/referee graphics were taken from the original game and enhanced by adding more colors.” - Poke53280
