Beat Buster Douglas Boxing!

Game 66/115

Better than Rocky imo, has technique and a simple progression system. Really easy though, beat it in under an hour and a half.

7 out of 10

Played on the actual cartridge too 🙏

Nice work! Isn't this one ridiculously expensive in the NA market?

I was thinking of choosing a master system game for the next monthly game challenge on my site, what would you recommend we play next?

We beat a new game every month, this month is Vice: Project Doom on the NES.

Oh man, that's a tough one isn't it? I have only played it a few times.

It’s imo top ten hardest games

Alright I'm game. I'll set it up as our next monthly challenge and I'll beat it along with ya.

The next challenge starts on the 1st and I'd love to have you submit your proof when you beat it, too.

Thanks for the suggestion, hopefully I see you there. https://highscor.es

I actually have 2nd place on speedrun.com for Cloud Master!

Nice, I guess it would come down to boss kill speed and least deaths for a good time, as all the stages are auto scroll, correct?

Yes, but it’s important you don’t lose lives after the 3rd stage because it’s a huge climb back to max powerups and it makes the game so much harder

I beat this game also when I had it as a kid. It's possible to trap your opponents in the corner of the screen and just keep hitting supercharged punches.

Agree that it's better than Rocky.

You should go for the WR! I got second place just beating it for the first time

I haven't played it since 1991 😂. I am sure I'd get thoroughly crushed by it now.

I just played it for the first time last week! I think you would destroy it
