Description

Fight Night Round 2 lets you create a custom boxer and fight your way up from a gritty Queens gym to the world championship, featuring detailed character sculpting down to ears and cranium.

Prize Fighter drops you into the shoes of a rising boxer known as The Kid, delivering a full-motion video experience that feels like stepping onto a 1990s arcade screen. Over two CDs you face off against Honeyboy Fernandez, Mega Joe Falco, Rex Hawkins, and the ultimate challenge Nuke "The Duke" Johnson, each fight packed with live-action footage and classic boxing action. The game blends cinematic storytelling with simple controls, offering a nostalgic single‑player experience that captures the gritty feel of early 90s sports titles. Developed by Digital Pictures and published by Sega and Tec Toy, it remains a unique slice of gaming history for fans of FMV and retro fighting games.
