About Foreman for Real
Before marketing fat-reducing grills, boxing legend George Foreman endorsed this boxing game with a 3rd-person view similar to Punch Out. A full range of punches and jabs are available, with full round-by-round scoring from the judges. You can choose from 3-12 rounds, and there are 2 camera views as well as an automatic switch option. You can play simple exhibition matches or tournaments, or launch into a career mode. In this you start at the bottom of the world rankings, and must reach the top by beating the game's players, who other than George are all fictitious boxers with varying strengths and weaknesses. The coach gives advice before each fight to help highlight weaknesses in your play. There are passwords for each round.

A forgettable boxing game that is cheap in the US and far costlier from Europe.
Foreman For Real is a George Foreman boxing game from Acclaim, the follow-up to George Foreman's KO Boxing. It came out in Japan on 27 October 1995, and in North America and Europe in 1995.
The Genesis game was poorly reviewed. GamePro's Tommy Glide complained there is no referee count on knockdowns, the punches sound like bad kung fu effects, and the bell like a toy piano. Next Generation gave it one star out of five, saying play comes down to blindly mashing buttons and calling it arguably one of the poorer boxing efforts ever released.
How the Sega Genesis version differs
GamePro found the Super NES version had faster gameplay and better character graphics than the Genesis version, though still mediocre.
GamePro's Tommy Glide criticized the Genesis audio, saying the music drowns out the sound effects.
Next Generation gave the Genesis version one out of five stars, saying it comes down to blindly mashing buttons.

Before you buy
Among US carts it sits below the middle and is cheap. The European cart usually costs far more than the US one, loose and especially complete, so the US cart is the easy pick. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
