Heavyweight Champ
Description
Heavyweight Champ is the first in a series of boxing games released by Sega. The 1976 game featured black-and-white graphics and critics have since identified it as the first video game to feature hand-to-hand fighting. It feature unique controls that simulate throwing actual punches. It featured gameplay viewed from a side-view perspective. It employed two boxing glove controllers, one for each
player, which moved up and down for high and low punches, with an inward movement for striking. It used large mono-chrome sprite visuals for the graphics. Sega would later reuse the Heavyweight Champ name for both the 8-bit versions of James Buster Douglas Knockout Boxing released outside of North America.

Comment
An odd little black-and-white boxing game controlled by a boxing glove that the player can move up and down and push in or out in order to attack. Not to be confused with the boxing game of the same name released in 1987.
