mbd30 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I really enjoyed Sierra Championship Boxing for PC as a kid, but it's been years. I don't know how it holds up today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverfleet Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I used to love Evander Holyfield Boxing on the Genesis back when it was new. I haven't played it in a while, but I highly doubt it holds up too well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derFunkenstein Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) I liked the Holyfield game on the Genesis as well (also havent played it recently), and also Ready to Rumble on the Dreamcast (which I have and its still fun).

Tanooki Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Wow beat me to it. As soon as I saw the cut off, 4D Boxing came to mind as I put good hours on that one along side of Stunts in the old DOS days. And for an oddity no one is likely to list but played pretty well was Caeser's Boxing on the CDi of all things. I don't even remember why I had it, but I did, and it was played and I kept playing it so it must have been alright as i don't remember hating it or shelving it.

zombiecraig Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Also a big fan of 4D Boxing. Other titles that I've enjoyed are Activision's Boxing on the 2600, Greatest Heavyweights on Sega Genesis and Victorious Boxers: Ippo's Road to Glory on PS2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I always liked Punch Out on NES, it's more comical than true boxing, but great fun. Fight Night on A8. Shame Accolade had such short involvment on Atari XL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathAdderSF Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Holy cow! I rushed into this thread thinking, "I'd better write in 4D Boxing before this all gets filled up with console titles..." but immediately noticed that four people had "beaten me to the punch." I grew up w/the version of 4D Boxing published by EA, only to discover years later that Mindscape had published a slightly different version, 4D Sports Boxing, with alternate soundtrack, etc. A great game indeed, and it comes in two "flavors!" BONUS. Also, my best friend had a copy of Boxing Legends of the Ring for SNES, and we had some fun times with that one, clobbering the hell out of each other.

Eltigro Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I don't know that I've ever really played many other boxing games. I have Rocky for the Master System, but haven't really played it other than just making sure it works. Maybe I'll try that some later... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other titles that I've enjoyed are Activision's Boxing on the 2600, Greatest Heavyweights on Sega Genesis and Victorious Boxers: Ippo's Road to Glory on PS2. An amazing game. I think I imported the Japanese version of that; actually, which was a lot of effort for me back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never could beat the final boss but the rest of the game was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 The Ready 2 Rumble series is pretty fun for an arcade-style experience. And I did like the Fight Night series for something a little more realistic, although unless I checked out of the series too early, I don't think they ever *quite* got the balance between "realism" and "fun" just right. I always wanted a little more depth than it actually had, given that it was trying to be more than a game like R2R or Punch Out. But still, it was fun to play for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Teleroboxer on the Virtual Boy! Although that may be cheating a bit since it's by Nintendo and because it plays so much like Punch-Out, it may as well have been a mainline series game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Black_Tiger Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Title Fight was very entertaining to play in the arcade with the special controllers. https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=10129 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Speaking of aging poorly ...that reminds me of how wow'ed I was when I first saw "4-D Boxing by Electronic Arts!" I cant imagine that looks great in the light of 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd30 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Speaking of aging poorly ...that reminds me of how wow'ed I was when I first saw "4-D Boxing by Electronic Arts!" I cant imagine that looks great in the light of 2019. Yeah. 3D polygonal graphics were still a novelty when that came out. Not so much anymore. On the other hand, the large character sprites in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out still look good today. There's so much personality in the animations, etc. Edited January 1, 2019 by mbd30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
