World Champ

Screenshots1 / 2

A boxing ring scene displays two pixelated fighters in the center on a bright blue mat with white boundary lines. The top HUD shows health bars for both fighters on either side, with "ROUND 1" and "TIME 12" in the center. Spectator sprites line the upper bleachers in tan and red colors. The "RUMST92" logo appears in blue text on the mat. Opponents' portraits are visible in the upper corners, and additional crowd figures sit in the background bleachers on the right side. The NES-era sprite work uses limited color palettes typical of early-90s fighting game graphics.
