Stumbled across this. I haven't seen this game or heard these sounds for almost 40 years and it seems like yesterday. I remember how much better the graphics were compared to Atari.
Got an Intellivision for Christmas back in the day. I knew I was getting it. Me and some of my mates wagged school one day, before Christmas, took it out and played with it most of the day, then carefully packed it back up so mum and dad wouldn't know :)
According to the instruction manual: 1) Blue: Strong Defense 2) Red: Offensive Power 3) Tan: Exceptional Endurance 4) Dark Green: A Balanced Fighter 5) Light Green: A Balanced Fighter 6) Yellow: Unpredictable "Fighter Number 6 is unpredictable. He could be a hero or a bum! Every bout, he will be given a random mix of characteristics" I have fond memories of playing this game with my cousins during the holiday season. One of them always chose Fighter 3 (almost impossible to KO) and we rarely beat him. My youngest girl cousin chose Fighter 6 and faced him. BAM! She flattened (instant KO) him in 9 seconds. xD
@@monkeyb1820 I totally remember that. He could land a dozen punches on his opponent and then - BAM! Knockdown out from the blue (pun intended) for a 10-count.
this is the the first game that i remember too... Played it in summer1981 with my aunts daughter in a cafe. Wish i owned the hardware and the game now.
I bought my Intellivision in 1982 and as a compulsive collector, I had to get all the games I could get my hands on. Boxing is a must to have in this collection. Nice graphics. I played it with the overlays besides me, because I didn't want to damage it. Intellivision was a great console.
@@joedimaggio3687 You are right. I never quite understood why Mattel didn't made their sports games a one or two players. They corrected that with their collection of Super Pro games, but they should have made all of them with that feature including Boxing.
@pierresavoie Although Sea Battle was a 2-player game only, it was great. Sea Battle wasn't the typical aim and shoot video game that was typical of that era. Sea Battle involved a great amount of strategy, which made it great.
You putting on a show there lol! the crowd roars and loves it!those Jabs But the red guy dominated for the W this game brings me back to my chikdhood days in 1980's glad I played this game out when I did :-D
Ahh the sense of superiority I felt over my Atari friends! There is an "instant knockout" glitch in this game: Get your boxer close to a clinch with opponent and feint a punch--INSTANT KO with stars circling vanquished opponent's head & everything!!
The red dude was the best defencive boxer and blue was best offesive( per manual) Great game to play while visiting grandparents. the 80's were a lot of fun!
I love the punches that extend downwards from shoulder height to the abdomen. And of course, when a guy gets knocked parallel to the floor but doesn't fall down. This was one of the most fun games.

Just here to take a look at one of the first boxing games i played, after having now played thrill of the fight and creed in vr.
I used to have this game when I was a kid and it taught me in real life everything I know about fighting today. I used to study the fighters and their moves and try to emulate them. I owe all of my fighting skills to this game. Thanks Intellivision.
This was my first console. I was amazed at everything about it. This was way before most consoles as well as the internet and smart phones or any cell phones so I was like--- wow it has a timer that actually counts down time! And in this game I was amazed that when a boxer gets knocked down the crowd cheers even louder. Then I realized that the crowd noise was just static but I still loved it. Lol.
This game and other intellevision games keeped me entertainment before i got my nes later on. but in 1980 this game was cool. i didn't play until about 1985 when i was about 7 good times!
Man... This is pretty freegin incredible. I really like the sounds! Probably better than many games made a decade later. The graphics are really well done considering. Can't comment on gameplay but the game seems really well done.
Still remember the intertwine technique when you damn near go through the the guy and do a couple of feints and your elbow would knock the guy out seeing stars lol yell
Looks way better than the upcoming Fight Night: Champion. I need to get this ;) No, just kidding. This is what I played when I was a kid. And snafu. And dig dug. And burgertime. Good times
One thing. I always wondered why the boxers gloves had 2 holes in them. I think it was to differentiate between the right and left hand but it was hard to tell even then cause the boxers were drawn like a blur. Well I still liked it.
Someone doesn't know to use the Blue guy right. He was the fastest hitter, he just couldn't stand a punch. The Tan and Gold guys were the harderst, they were slower but they punched harder. If the Blue guy didnt' take them out in the first 2 rounds... game over.
Excellent game! NO ONE likes getting beat up-even with these graphics! There is an instant stars KO glitch in my game. Get boxers as close as possible then feint a punch. Thats it: If you're in contact with opponent when u do it he'll be looking up at rotating stars! Whoever figured this out totally dominated until becoming power hungry & doing it so often they figured out it was a small hackable-glitch rather than my superior skills that made me Ali-like!! Ahhh...good times!
Get the two fighters in close with each other -- the Intellivision equivalent of a "clinch." Hit the "feint" button. Instant knockout! Works pretty often. (I believe that was meant as a dirty move, like throwing punches in a clinch.)
MAANN I was good on this game, Dr. J vs Larry Bird is also a great game and the true start of the NBA game revolution. Check this game out and please review this one if possible, Bamestar GBA Basketball Championship. If ANY baller today can ball they and ball in these arena's, the gameplay once you understand how to plaw is sweet, the LEAGUE is ferocious man, Magic and Kareem Ugrain is there, Dr. J, Jerry west and you pick one of them tp Play with you. If we someone could add Jordan, L.Berg's in
I LOVE this game one of the BEST and funnest boxing games at that time and still great now, thanks soo much for the memores, check my channel for a few, peace.

I used to love this game, great memories
Over 30 years later and I still sometimes hear the roar of the crowd in my dreams. This, Astrosmash and Snafu were my favourites. Good times.
I'll never forget the time my cousin and I were playing this and got a double KO. We just looked at each other in total shock. :)

the instructions were bs. I remember blue guy was really fast, but had a glass jaw and would often get KO'd after being ahead.

It was great, but too many of the games required two players.

@pierresavoie Sea Battle was an example of this. It's a great game but requires 2 players.
@@joedimaggio3687 You are absolutely right. So is Armor Battle. The list could go on and on.

if only real boxing fights were as fun to watch as this!

Jefferson Lambert 😀
Wow! Brings back memories!
"Come on, Creed! Come on!"
Apollo Creed walks way
Clubber Lang(Mr. T): yeah, like a chicken, you'd better run.
I used to press buttons really hard thinking it will do more damage if I press it hard.

CLASSIC 💯 GOOD OLD DAYS😀💯
OMFG THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!
I remember this game, I remember the "stars" on the Knocked out boxer . . .
Who's the brainiac who came up with that insane cheering whistle that was in every one of these intellivision sports games?
All this proves is that I'm gettin damn old.
WoW that was a great game one of the best for the intellivision! what a great times!
My all time favorite system as a young boy.. My friends and I would have tournaments with the super slam dunk basKetball game.. And football
Agreed. Clinch, feint, *Blip* Stars! Victory!!!
omg that brings back memories lol
Still remember the intertwine technique when you damn near go through the the guy and do a couple of feints and your elbow would knock the guy out seeing stars lol yell
we used to do this at my house. It was hard, maybe impossible to get up from the feint-knockout.
This game looks fun to play.
The is the first game I remember playing.
I remember if you could get a hit to the face as they were bouncing back up, it usually was pretty effective.
Looks way better than the upcoming Fight Night: Champion.
I need to get this ;)
No, just kidding. This is what I played when I was a kid. And snafu. And dig dug. And burgertime.
Good times

First console I ever had. I had Boxing, Baseball and one other I can't remember.
Those green guys always got knocked out. I use to have # 4 green guy vs #5 green guy and many times it would be a double knockout.
Killer game from when I was in style :)
I LOVED this game
Exciting.

Ahhh...good times!
that was the first game I ever play. I was around 4years
wow. same here. almost 27 yrs ago. i was around 6-7 I think
I had this game. Wasn't one of the better Intellivision games but at least was 3 times better the Boxing for Atari!

(I believe that was meant as a dirty move, like throwing punches in a clinch.)
we noticed that too! If two fighters got 'overlapped' a bit, a feint would KO the other guy!!!
I had this game!
BOX ON
Great memories!!
Thats the glitch! Used it when I got in trouble then got caught after becoming KO-hungry...but for while "I was the Greatest...of All Times!!"
Best Boxing game, In your Face Pounch Out!
@a3shuzy I feel like a lot of us probably thought that when we were younger.
@piecesof michaeljackson, Dr J vs Larry Bird was THE best bb game, thanks for reminding me!
Hey look, it's Paquiao vs Marquez!
Ksi Vs Jake paul be lookin good
You and me both. Damn.
best
They don't make em like this anymore... Good thing.
LOL!!! There literally was a 10 count. LOL!!!

i can clearly see that Fight night champion ripped off this game
I LOVE this game one of the BEST and funnest boxing games at that time and still great now, thanks soo much for the memores, check my channel for a few, peace.
wasent the red boxer the best, he could take some serious beating
Sure didn't. When you have the Blue guy, you had to stick and move a lot better than this guy did. I hardly ever lost with him...
I was the best. The tan fighter is best
N.6 was the best
3 was impossible to beat
mi mette angoscia:(
....
Fight Night Championship ain't shit compared to this.
AVGN: Boxing.... yeah boxing....... this sucks.
"Boxing. Okay. Yeah, boxing. This sucks."
Not as good as the Amico.....
