If you long for a more simplistic time in video games, then this is the title for you.The one thing that blows me away about this game is that your opponents actually have faces, and they make humorous expressions when you punch them.Modern day 64 bit games can't even manage that.In my opinion this game is timeless, it'll surely live on in my heart.

How did they make it? All the opponents all expressions and everything ... This game is superb. I suppose you know about it's qualities, here comes the weak ones ...

* Doc doesn't always have the best things to tell you: (Mac: I can't win Doc) "Yes you can Mac" (I'm tired Doc) "Hang in there, Mac!"

* Why do all your opponents have something like 28 - 2 in matches ... better if the weakest in minor had like (except Glass Joe ...) 10-15 or something and the one in major 12-12 and the ones in the world 17-7 or something.

* Why doesn't your opponents have a more trashed look between the rounds when Mac almost seem to die before the third round even if he has just been down once? And why are they always so cocky, even if you have punished them in the latest round ... ?

* There should not have been so few boxers in the minor serie and so many in the world! And to have some of the opponents twice was not necessary, they could have others instead, why not any from Africa, South America or Arabia?

* Don't you think Don Flamenco in the world serie is a bit too easy to win against?

* Why can't you beat the first match against Piston Honda (minor) by split decision?

Maybe my all time favorite video game ... Maybe.

Rating: 9 of 10.

"Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!" was a blast and fun tough boxing video game that entertained with it's music and graphics it really was a knockout as you the fighter had to learn tricks and skills and how to finger the A and B buttons to beat certain fighters! Plus it was unreal to beat Tyson as I could never do it! You are Little Mac and you must work your way up thru the ranks by fighting fighters from all over the world before you get a crack at Mike! Don't worry if you lose you can fight again! The foes are real characters as up first is the tomato can Glass Joe, then to name a few you had "Piston Honda", the fat "King Hippo"(remember to punch in the belly to knockout!) and tough fights were always found with the magic of Great Tiger, the brute and strength of Mr. Sandman, Soda Pokinski, and Bald Bull all were fun and good challenges before "Iron Mike". In fact they were secrets and codes remember 007-373-5963 you could type and go straight off to face Mike only to get slaughtered! I could never beat Tyson as your hand speed on the buttons had to be super quick! Great and super game for the classic NES system as this was one of it's first released in 1987 a classic game for the video game hall of fame!

I was eight when this game came out, and I was obsessed with it at 10 years old. My friends and I would spend entire days playing this game. I beat Tyson only once, and it was the single greatest moment of my young life at the time. I remember you had to wait until he moved his hands to hit you, and strike quickly to hit him. I also know if he hit you, you hit the canvas. I can remember pounding on the A button, yelling "GET UP" after old Mike knocked me down. One thing I never got was how Glass Joe ever moved up in the rankings. You fight him first, then you see him again later at the higher levels. Maybe this is the game makers example of corruption in boxing.

I loved this game, and i wish I still had it.
