Champions Forever Boxing for TurboGrafx-16
Review #7016
Champions Forever Boxing
The boxing sim
Gameplay
Plays a bit like a brawler. You move around within a 3D arena. The II button punches and I doesn't do anything, as near as I can tell.
Punching reduces your strength meter while taking punches lowers your stamina. For the love of Pete I can't figure out how to wear down my opponent. Punching him seems to have no effect on either meter while my strength goes down when I punch or he punches me. There must be a strategy or hidden controls that escape me. In any case this seems to be a simulation style boxing game. No thanks
Level Design
Exhibition and career mode, which is just a series of exhibition with a skill tree.
All arenas are identical.
Theme
Licensed titles are rare on the TG-16. I can only think of the two Disney platformers and the Jackie Chan game. In any case this one has a handful of famous historical boxers from the 70s such as Joe Frasier, Ken Norton, and Muhammad Ali.
Art Style
It's a blank, non-interactive arena with no interesting features. The sprites are small but animate well, although they don't do much.
Audio
About what you'd expect. Punch, oof, and bell ring. Not much else
