A Digital Pictures boxing game that Game Players found fun until you beat it.
Digital Pictures developed Prize Fighter, which Sega published. It came out in North America in 1993, in Europe in March 1994 and in Japan on 24 March 1995.
Game Players called it a fun and unique boxing sim until you beat it, after which it becomes a mini motion picture with a steep admission price. MegaTech thought the idea of a one-player boxing game was brilliant but the execution lacking, and said it could do better.
What the press said at the time
| MegaTech Issue 29 | May 1994 | 62% |
| Electronic Games July 1994 | July 1994 | B |
| Sega Pro Issue 36 | September 1994 | 81% |
“Unfortunately, it doesn’t earn a high rating overall. When in play the FMV screen shrinks considerably”
“Exciting and realistic; you have nearly all the control you could ever need.”
“If you fancy giving someone a good kicking then the basis for this one-player boxing game is a brilliant idea, although it's somewhat lacking in its implementation. Could do better.”
“This one is almost great. … The only problem: the controls are extremely difficult to master.”
Before you buy
The US disc is near the bottom of North American Sega CD prices. The European disc usually costs several times as much, loose and complete, and suits a European Mega-CD. A Not for Resale copy also exists, so check whether a listing is that copy. Check that the title on the disc matches the case.
