Play Heavy Weight Champ Online

Heavy Weight Champ is a classic boxing video game released for the Sega Game Gear in 1992. It was developed and published by Sega, and was one of the few games released for the platform that focused on the sport of boxing. The game features two modes: Career Mode and Exhibition Mode, both of which allow players to compete in a variety of different matches against computer-controlled opponents, as well as against other players via link cable or modem connection. In Career Mode, players take on the role of an up-and-coming boxer who must work his way through the ranks to become champion. Players will have to train hard between fights to improve their stats, as well as try to win every fight they enter in order to progress. The Exhibition Mode allows players to choose from a number of pre-set fighters, each with their own unique attributes and abilities, and then duke it out in a single match.

The actual gameplay in Heavy Weight Champ is fairly simple but requires some strategy in order to be successful. Players are able to move around the ring freely using either the D-pad or analog stick on their controller. They can also throw punches at their opponent using either light or heavy punches depending on how long they hold down the attack button. As with most fighting games there’s also a block button which can be used to defend against incoming attacks. There’s also an ‘energy bar’ located at the top of the screen which decreases when taking damage and increases when connecting with punches successfully - once this bar empties completely it’s game over!

The visuals in Heavy Weight Champ are surprisingly good considering its relatively early release date (1992). The characters are nicely animated and look quite realistic (for its time) while backgrounds are detailed enough that you can tell what type of venue you’re fighting in (arena, gym etc.). The music is also quite upbeat and fitting for a boxing game while sound effects such as grunts and cheers from spectators add an extra layer of atmosphere during matches. Overall Heavy Weight Champ is a great example of early 90s gaming that still holds up today due its simple yet engaging gameplay mechanics and impressive visuals/soundtrack for its age.
