Play Toughman Contest (USA, Europe) Online
Pick a freakishly muscular boxer, duck wild haymakers, and time your counters just right—those later fights turn into pure button-mashing chaos when dudes start lunging at you like runaway trucks. Chunky Genesis punches land with a satisfying crunch.
Toughman Contest came out in 1993 for the Sega Genesis, developed by Unexpected Development and published by Flying Edge. It was part of that wave of sports games trying to capture the gritty, over-the-top feel of amateur boxing leagues, standing out with its exaggerated character designs and straightforward action.
You control a boxer moving left and right, dodging swings and throwing punches of your own. The goal is to win matches by knocking out opponents or outscoring them on points. Key mechanics include building up a super punch meter by landing hits, and timing blocks to avoid damage. The pacing is fast, with later fights becoming frantic as opponents attack more aggressively. It feels like a scrappy, back-and-forth brawl where one mistimed move can cost you the round.
