Rocky
Rocky is a boxing action game released by SEGA in 1987 for the Sega Master System. Players take on the role of a boxer competing in the ring against opponents. The game is designed for one or two players, with two-player mode allowing competitive matches. Gameplay involves punching, blocking, and dodging attacks to defeat opponents across multiple rounds. Each match consists of timed rounds where players must land enough hits to win by points or knockout. Controls are straightforward, using directional inputs combined with action buttons to execute different boxing moves. The game progresses through a series of opponents of increasing difficulty. The Master System version features colorful graphics typical of mid-80s arcade-style games and maintains the fast-paced action of a boxing simulation.
