Pound For Pound

About

Pound For Pound is a 1990 arcade boxing game from Irem America that throws you into the ring with pixel-perfect fighters. The overhead view keeps things clear as you bob and weave through fast-paced matches. Each bout is a test of timing and endurance with opponents that pack a punch. The game's straightforward single-player mode pits you against a series of tough opponents that demand precision. What sticks with players is the brutal difficulty and the crisp character designs that stand out even by today's standards. The high score charts became a test of skill for arcade regulars. While not the deepest boxing sim, it's remembered for its relentless challenge and the satisfaction of landing that perfect combo. A throwback title that still packs a punch for retro fans.
