Sometimes, cheats don’t have to be much to stick in the memory, andIK+(orInternational Karate+, as it’s known on its birth certificate) is a great example of that. Fighting games can be some of the most self-serious games out there, but IK+ certainly isn’t one of them, as funny things happen during karate in real life. We once saw a man’s protective cup go flying across the dojo after an errant low kick, which was amusing to us and probably a relief to the competitor whose population potatoes didn’t get pulverised.
