Classic Games: Karateka for the Commdore 64
While not a completely original story, the woman you love has been kidnapped by an evil overlord and it's up to you to save her. You climb the mountainside where the overlord's hideout is, and battle opponents one at a time in order to reach the inner sanctum.
As the game progresses, more cutscenes appear to give you an update on what's going on deep down in the enemy's stronghold. The enemies get harder as you continue, increasing the challenge.
