Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, on to our first match with Piston Honda. This is a title fight and can be difficult if you never played the game before. Just don’t let Piston intimidate you when he starts bouncing around.
Watch the video to see how to stop Piston Honda in his first match and take the title.
o a degree my assumptions were correct. However I was pleasantly surprised to learn that many of my criticisms were significantly improved over the more technically superior Super Nintendo version. The control of Asterix is far less slippy, and the hit box is tighter. Asterix still only has a punch and no projectiles for his attack, which while staying true to the source material, makes for a more delicate approach to attack than I would have preferred. However that too is improved over the SNES version, meaning you don’t need to be as careful when attacking as you need to be in 16 bit.
The initial challenge of any classic Megaman, is knowing the optimal order to play the stages in, with each boss defeated, you gain a new weapon, these new additions can help to defeat future bosses more easily, hence the desire to know the best order. Since playground gossip was no longer an available source of intel for me, I resorted to the web. Knowing the optimal order to play certainly helps, but it doesn’t render the game easy by an means.

Soccer was one of many ‘Black Box’ launch titles for the NES. These mainly consisted of short arcade ports of already existing Nintendo games, along with some original games including crackers like Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, Metroid, Zelda, Kid Icarus to name a few. It also included Soccer! Quite possibly the worst, (though there’s still a lot to come) football game on the system.
After each race, money is awarded based on your finishing position. You can upgrade your vehicle in the usual fashion, and top up turbo boosts. Fairly soon you’ll find you’ve maxed out the upgrades on your car, from then on the prize money simply becomes a turbo fund. You’ll waste turbos if used when touching cars or other obstacles, you must have clear track. It pays to save them for race winning moments. It’s easy to drain your entire reserves on one race trying, mostly in vain to catch up with Ivan!
Armed with a Walt Disney mallet you take Bugs through a seemingly endless sea of cookie cutter stages, most of which could be finished blindfolded. The bosses are much the same deal. While it’s great to see all the classic characters such as Daffy, Tweety, Porkie Pig etc the ease at which you disperse them is laughable, clearly this was aimed at a younger audience!
