While at San Diego State University this year, there was a computer fair
in which a dealer had a game on display that I have been searching for ever
since but have had no luck in finding.
The fighting scenes were similar to Pirates, Swashbuckler of Apple II
fame. However, the character used Karate and weapons I believe. It was so
long ago that I may be fuzzing up in the memory department. You had to beat
several opponents to attain certain levels of skills and then pass certain
tests before you could start the game proper. Can anyone help me. It
seemed to me that the game had a stong martial arts influence to it, the top
half of the screen was were you saw your character fighting and the bottom
half was full of buttons and status readouts. Any ideas out there??

It's a role-playing game where you travel the various planes to rescue priests and restore the natural order. The combat system was fun and I enjoyed the game a lot. Not too many challenges but it was a pretty interesting mix of arcade and role-playing gam genres. I hear the sequel: AIRWALKER will be available for the Mac before the end of the year.
