Toughman Contest uses the amateur boxing franchise to offer brutal combat on Mega Drive with digitized animations. The version keeps the street fighting spirit and varied punch system in an arcade formula. Pleasant for 16 bit boxing fans, in line with amateur sport tie in average.

Toughman Contest (Mega Drive) price, value & rarity
An EA boxing sim licensed from the US amateur Toughman contest, released late in 1995 on an end-of-life European Mega Drive. Unremarkable and quickly forgotten, it owes its value only to a reduced late-cycle PAL run: loose copies remain findable but the European complete grows scarce. No real aura, no cult series, no fan demand; the premium mainly flags an uncommon late sealed copy. Completist interest for PAL EA Sports, nothing more.
