Play James Buster Douglas KO Boxing Online

Remember when Buster Douglas shocked the world by knocking out Mike Tyson? This Sega Genesis game lets you live that moment—except you don’t have to wait until the 10th round. The controls are simple: jab, hook, and occasionally eat a fist to the face when you mistime a dodge. It’s not fancy, but there’s something satisfying about the way the screen shakes when you land a solid uppercut.

The crowd goes wild when you’re winning, and the ref’s terrible pixelated mustache somehow adds to the charm. You’ll fight your way through a roster of boxers who all look vaguely the same, but hey, it was 1990. The two-player mode is where it really shines—nothing like watching your friend panic when you corner them with body shots. It’s rough around the edges, but that’s part of its scrappy appeal.

If you’ve got nostalgia for early ‘90s sports games, this one still throws a decent punch.
