Ok. The 9/10 score is probably more nostagia than anything. That said, this game holds up surprisingly well. The graphics are what you expect from an 8-bit game and the sound is what it is. The real star though (no, not Mike Tyson), is the fun still to be had in timing and memorizing the patterns and figuring out when to use your uppercuts, dodge, swing left/right, or block. Considering the limits of the NES controller, it’s pretty amazing what they did here. And no, I still can’t beat Iron Mike after all these years. I only new one kid who could. His name was Jason Montgomery and he was a video game savant.
