Play Toughman Contest Online
Pick a scuffed-up brawler, then trade wild punches in blurry three-minute scraps where stamina matters more than skill. That weird over-the-shoulder view makes every haymaker feel desperate.
Toughman Contest came out on the Sega Genesis in 1995, published by EA Sports. It was one of those late-era sports titles that tried to capture the gritty, unlicensed feel of underground boxing, a contrast to the more polished franchises already on the system.
You control a single boxer, moving him around a small ring to pummel your opponent into submission within a three-round match. The over-the-shoulder camera angle forces you into close, messy exchanges where landing a clean punch feels like a gamble. Managing your stamina is crucial; swinging wildly leaves you exhausted and vulnerable to a counterattack. The pacing is frantic, the difficulty unforgiving, and every victory feels less like a triumph and more like a relief. It's a game that captures the raw, exhausting desperation of a real street fight.
