Evander Holyfield’s “Real Deal” Boxing

by 0 comments

Evander Holyfield shocked the boxing world when he took the heavyweight championship from Buster Douglas. It was only Douglas’ first defense, and the defeat demoralized him so much that he retired from boxing. Holyfield, on the other hand, went to make history as the only man to win the belt four times. Along the way, he found time to endorse a Genesis game, which like his skills, was light years ahead of his predecessor. “Real Deal” Boxing featured great visuals and solid gameplay, and it had an interesting customization dynamic that is still fun to play today.

The tiny sprites and status box really hampered what was otherwise an exceptional version of a classic game. It’s still playable, but how much so will depend on how good your vision is.

Cutthroat Island

When you look at the video game release of Cutthroat Island, only two plausible scenarios come to mind about its release: either it was expected to cash in on a massive summer blockbuster, or it was a last ditch effort to ride the tsunami-like wave the film made when it belly flopped at the box office. After seeing Cutthroat Island and playing the game, we have to go with the latter. Read the full review and be thankful that people really, really love pirates. This turd almost spelled the end for them in movies forever.
