Black Belt 12-23-82

This recently discovered prototype appears to be an earlier WIP build of Black Belt. At first it was thought that no enemies appear in the game, however occasionally the game will have enemies present (about once every three times you start it). However if the game does have enemies present, they do not move or fight back. Most of the rest of the game is the same as the mid level version, however it is missing some key elements such as enemy AI and level selection.

Differences

You cannot select your starting level (Black Belt degree)

To start the game you must press the '0' button then Start

There are usually no enemies in the game

Occasionally the game will have enemies that appear in the doorway, but they do not move and have no AI. They will however go into a fighting stance when you approach them.

There are no flickering lights in the candelabras

There is no door at the bottom of the first screen so you cannot exit back to the level selection screen

There are no lights on the ground where the exit door would be on the first screen

Notice how there's no level selection text?

There's no door back outside

No flames in the candles either

The enemies don't move (if they appear at all)
