    Prince of Persial 1+2
    Karateka in an Emulator
    Karateka 3d remake

    If you want brawlers with story, the entire Shenmue Series and Yakuza
    series is available.
    If you want a similar setting in an RPG environment Jade empire.
    Karateka in itself was a very unique game which Prince of Persia is the closest.

    Later games until 3d hit cut down on the story and made the action
    faster and others emphasized on the fighting only (aka fighting games
    like Mortal Kombat or Virtua Fighter)

    Well... there's the original "Karateka" port, released in 1986. It
    might be a bit hard to acquire (or get running on modern PCs).
    I would not say that the other options really come close, the closest
    probably would be Prince of Persia 1+2...
    From modern games probably the Yakuza series and Shenmue!
