Punch Out & Super Punch Out (1984 Nintendo)

A sports/boxing game where you play a role of green-haired boxer, who must fight his way through six increasingly larger-than-life boxers to earn the title of 'Champ' in this superb 1-on-1 fighting game. You must must time their punches, dodges and blocks in order to defeat the opposing boxer. Opponents are each rendered as humorous cartoon-like caricatures - adding much to the game's atmosphere - and each boxer fights in a slightly different style, forcing players to adapt to their strategy. The top monitor is used for statistics while the bottom one is used to display the actual fight.

Super Punch Out is a slight update of Punch Out. 5 brand new larger-than-life opponents. You play a green-haired boxer who must fight his way up through five larger-than-life boxers to earn the title of 'Champ'. Punches, dodges and blocks must all be well-timed in order to defeat the opposing boxer. This game is considered an improvement over the first game.

The rom for the games seem to have bugs. The game freezes while in the middle playing the game so I have no choice to use cheats towards the end of the game.

did you use cheats or something?

[oldclassicgame]

@brolylss01

Yes, the game was buggy on later levels so I had no choice but to use it.

why dont you use the knockout move?

[oldclassicgame]

@TheROBReviews

I tried using the KO move towards the end of the game on harder opponents. But the rom seems to have bugs and freezes during the middle of the game. That's why.

What's more crooked? The teeth of Kid Quick or the ref's fast count?

glass joe blocks 2 much!

You can tell this game is old when you see "Vodka Drunkenski" and it says "Champion of the U.S.S.R" !

@oldclassicgame I was wondering that too. The right hook and uppercut special can be used anytime you get it, and it rebuilds as you score regular hits.

[nickantibarney]

could you do the version with the namco wsg chip?

[nickantibarney]

hay this was the first time a 2a03 chip was used! Beating the famicom by a few months

@oldclassicgame oh, ok
