Punch Out (all incarnations)

TheBig3 · 06-06-2009, 11:04 AM

Like any other 7 year old male in 1989, Nintendo was a mind blowing experience and one of the most enduring franchises was Mike Tyson's Punch Out.

I remember playing in the dead of the night when I first rented it from the local video store, being slightly terrified by the music that preceded each fighter (Especially Piston Honda). I never got very far in the game myself, but I spent my summers and the Boys and Girls Club and watched kids with older brothers wail on Mike Tyson/Mr. Dream (post-rape allegation).

When it came out on SNES, I played it until my fingers bled, and I actually killed the whole thing myself. Even if Mr. Sandman had me stuck for 2 months. I just noticed they released one for the Wii, and I'm wondering if anyones played it.

Talk about anything Punch Out-y you'd like.

Remember the arcade version where you were that green guy with the see-through body? I always thought that was pretty cool.

I think I saw that one when I was in Santa Cruz a few years ago at their old arcade. I didn't have any change with me at the time so I couldn't play it but I distinctly remember seeing it.

I have the arcade version on my Mame 32.

There's no way i'd pay money to play it now

Proof that sometimes the oldest and simplest games are still the most fun to play.
