Heeheehee, I wonder when they'll really start updating M.A.M.E. scores into database/book...

TJT, 247K/999K

Is the version you got 247K on a lot harder than the one you got 999K on?

Nope, they are almost different games. Bit like Joust vs Joust2.

Karate Champ 1 (999) was bit earlier, a bit harder at early stages imho.
Gameplay(read tactics)is different between these versions, because of how computer opponents react for your tactics. Both versions test similar skills anyway(most important is timing) and have same moves and controls.

The score differs so much, because kchamp does not have an ending, I just didn't want to roll the score over back to zero...don't know why though, really doesn't matter when your mameing.
