Mike Tyson's Punch-Out is on of the most popular and biggest selling
video games of all time. Step into the ring as Little Mac, a
17-year-old fighter from the Bronx, ranked number three in the minor
circuit. Your goal is to work your way up through the rankings so that
you can challenge Mike Tyson, Kid Dynamite, in a dream fight.
But the road to the championship is long and hard. You'll have
to work your way up through the minor, major, and world circuits by
winning 14 bouts against some very tough opponents.
The rules of the World Video Boxing Association govern your
bouts. Each match is three three-minute rounds long. Any boxer knocked
down for a 10 count is Knocked Out (KO). If a boxer goes down three
times, he'll find himself a Technical Knock Out (TKO). If both boxers
make it to the end of the third round, the ref determines the winner.
Once you're in the ring you'll have to beat your opponent with
smart fighting. Use left and right punches, as well as uppercuts to
knock your opponent to the mat. Dodge your opponent's blows with some
fancy footwork. Dazzle them with your brilliance and you'll be the
World Video Boxing Association Champion. On the other hand, you might
find yourself down for the count.
