I encoded Foda's run, if that matters anything anymore. You can get it from here: http://koti.mbnet.fi/laitilan/Karateka-PlayedThrough.avi
(Get it soon because I'll delete it after few hours. I don't have much space in there.)
Thanks Maza, Foda, and Baxter. It looks like the weasels aren't going to cough it up. The guy who made the challenge feels bad, but the guy who collected seems to feel justified in keeping it. I'd push the issue, but I don't want it to come out that we were all doing this during work hours. Now I just have to hope they don't all want to see me do it live, in 12 minutes no less. I guess I was cheating in a sense too, by asking you guys for help, but I'd still split the money if I were the guy who won. The rules of the bet could have been interpreted either way...
I was never able to beat that stupid game on a Commodore 64 because that stupid gate always killed me. Having to rewind the cassette every try was annoying, too.
Now that I know the trick to pass the gate... I'll let the game grow old as dust. It already took more time of my life than it deserved.

It could be worse...At least the gate can be passed. How many hours did I spend trying to shatter the backboard in Double Dribble because Gamepro said it could be done? Too many. I think it was just an April fool's joke that they posted to torture people.
