Konnichiwa, esteemed patrons of Steam Gifts! Jordan Mechner and his team want to give away 100 copies of his newest game, Karateka! Celebrate Valentine’s Day by karate-chopping your way to reuniting the kidnapped princess with her True Love.

Jordan Mechner created the original Karateka in his dorm room as a college freshman in 1984 for the Apple II computer. This precursor to Prince of Persia challenged gamers to remember to "always punch the hawk" while rescuing the beautiful Mariko from the evil warlord Akuma.

Now, 28 years later, you can take up the mantle to save the princess. Whether you’re a nostalgic fan of the original or new to the game, Karateka will charm you with its classic love story, authentic Japanese music, and rhythm-based fighting.

Check out the trailer at Karateka.com

FEATURES:

• Rhythm-based combat mechanic
• Three playable characters. Three endings.
• Unique real-time musical score

Good luck with the giveaway! And even if you don't end up winning a free copy of Karateka, the game is on sale this Valentine's Day week for $4.99 USD (usually $9.99 USD). For more info on Jordan Mechner, check out his blog: JordanMechner.com
