Mullet Boy 3:06, warms my heart to see a new video from GenerationGapGaming

[@masterrserch3971]

And would ya look at that!?!?! Despite being M.I.A. for so long, Ty busted out a very very sneaky, brand new, unique, but also a VERRRRY subtle "taunting" type move with MB--- yet, all that all at once, it's also a kinda tongue in cheek, wink-wink, HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT HINT for us all, with that "check it out, HERE" 😂😂😂 Lemme find out he's Jigsaw Johnny Kramer'ing his Mulllet Boy hunt!!!

The Fonz was just your run of the mill motorcycle racing game. Don't expect any shark jumping.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks for some background on the Fonz. I like the jump the shark reference too lol

[@RazorEdge2006]

Fonz (basically a repackaged Moto-Cross) was an important milestone in gaming history. It was the first racing racing game with pseudo-3D sprite scaling from a third-person perspective.

I'm back lol

[@duckofalltrades]

Wow! Never knew this game existed! Growing up, the first arcade game that I remember loving was Punch Out. I played it at an arcade at Lakewood Campground in Myrtle Beach NC. I believe I was 6-7 at the time. My cousin had the old school miniature version of the Pac Man arcade game. So when I got back to our camper in the campground, I immediately wrote a letter to Santa asking for a Punch Out miniature arcade game like my cousin Van’s Pac Man Game. Thanks for the memories brother!

[@duckofalltrades]

PS, I would rather be fed cheeseburgers than experience whatever was going on between rounds in NES’ Ring King! 😂

[@GenerationGapGaming]

I know exactly what you're talking about. I almost put a joke in about Ring King at the beginning of the video 🤣

[@hitmangfx7162]

Seriously I'm glad you're back. I remember the two gloves arcade cabinet, it was funky with the controls... Was one of the few surviving cabinets in the 90s

[@GenerationGapGaming]

I'm glad you got to play the later version. I never got the chance. I know I would have enjoyed it.

[@AnguirusTCG]

Welcome back man. Been watching for a long time and love the hard work you put into each and every video.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy the videos. For real I truly appreciate the feedback. It's quite encouraging.

[@Adeptzed]

George Foreman eating cheeseburgers between rounds. They done did him dirty! Haha! Great video!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

That's one of the things I was thinking too when I was researching this game! Gotta get those calories in!

[@irishjug8208]

Your video has good timing with the Undisputed Boxing game just releasing on consoles after a decade or so of no boxing games. Good Video

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Sure I meant to do that......yeah 🤣

[@PragmatikReviews]

Arcade preservation is a tough endeavor but it's nice to see so many trying to do so. Who knew "SEEGA" got that headstart!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Yep SEEEGA got in early. I would have loved to visit a Sega Center!

[@Akira625]

This is the first time learning of this game, and the first time learning of a game that is lost to history. I would have been around 2 years old when it came out.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Same here about learning of the game. Before my time lol

[@arioca]

Very interesting video. I remember playing the second version of Heavyweight Champ in the arcade back in the 80s but not the original. Note: James 'Buster' Douglas Knockout Boxing gameplay template came from Rocky for the Sega Master System, so another Sega reuse.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

You are absolutely correct about the Rocky reference too. I almost put it in the video lol

[@johnnygrind77]

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out is my all time favorite video game, of all time. If I had to pick another boxing game, it would be Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing. I have a lot of fond memories of both games. I had an uncle who was a master at Holyfield's game and even taught me how to get "The Beast" unlocked. I said it in the comments of the Game Genie vid and I'll say it again: Glad to see you working on new videos!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks! I never did a deep dive into Holyfield's game. I need to do that one day. Beast mode sounds cool lol

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

[@howardmalone3]

First ever boxing game I remember playing was on the intellivision

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Sweet! I remember the Atari 2600 boxing too. You had to use your imagination lol

[@IMDRanged]

3:26 I thought the wavy effects were because the CRT monitor was failing, but it actually animated sprite of the player being close to knock out.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

That's actually pretty cool. Especially for that primitive of a game.

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

I knew Sega made boxing games for the Genesis, because I used to have a couple issues of Sega magazine (they eventually fell apart), but they advertised a boxing game that I don't remember the title of. I didn't know they beat Nintendo to the arcade market. Outside of Punchout, my go-to boxing game is Knockout Kings on the original Playstation.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Sweet! I've never played Knockout Kings. I'll have to watch some game footage

[@adonian]

I remember this game.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Awesome! Happy you were able to experience it

Fascinating video! I have never even heard of this game and I want to play it almost as much as I want to play the Fonz game. Also, how about a video about Super Dodge Ball? That was one of my all time favorites.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@GenZod80]

Oh I remember that game. Actually someone somewhat local to me was selling that cab on Facebook Marketplace. Kid KO Crusher was pretty much Mike Tyson lol. Fun game though

[@jessedub]

You're sure it was this game? Cause it's considered lost media, so if someone near you has one, it's definitely big news

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Yeah that 87 version definitely looks to be inspired by arcade and Mike Tyson Punch-Out titles for sure

[@mrdallas1271]

Sega has always been ahead of their, Sega please come out with another console

[@NoSpamForYou]

SEGA can't even make a good game anymore, and their hardware was always flawed. Dreamcast was good but rushed because they botched Saturn by rushing launch and alienated gamers with the 32X. If they had waited even 1 year and had better specs and a DVD drive PS2 would not have destroyed the Dreamcast.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

I would love another console too! Sega was a risk taker, somehow the follow through would seem to be off. I always enjoyed Sega though

[@MrSTravelQuest]

New video WOOHOO!!!! I remember playing a game similar to this, called Title Fight (1991).

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Yes. Title Fight was similar. Sega did a lot of reshuffling similar content lol

[@stonetooth2506]

I never played that game. But I had a friend who's parents owned a small pizza place in a small town in NY. They had a pool table and one of those flat top pacman games. That was until they brought in punchout! It had just hit the market. I spent every day that summer collecting empty bottles for the nickel refund and helping my friend on his paper route. Not to mention all the money I could beg my Dad out of. Just so I could go and play every chance I had. I would get a slice and scarf it down, then commence to pumping every quarter I had into it😅 I couldn't get very far. But I didn't care. I was 8 years old

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Sounds like wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing your story

[@barttheraven]

How do you lose something like this?

[@carpespasm]

The industry was focused on money, things were advancing super fast, and as someone who's done arcade repair professionally, any game with a large handle users can grab is prone to getting damaged often. Combine all that with a cabinet that can't be converted to a more profitable game and didn't have a color screen and it's unsurprising a game or two gets lost to time like this.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

I know! I would think there would at least be a few in good shape somewhere

[@Retro_Activity]

Not even MAME has a reference to this. There is a Sega Heavyweight Champ from 1987 (which is what I was trying to look up when i found this), but this game is truly lost. Sad.
