A rough NES boxing, license-free and spark-free. Anonymous boxers, limited animation, predictable AI. Nintendo's Punch-Out stays light-years ahead of this basic attempt.

Collector interest

A 1987 Famicom release from Romstar, World Boxing is a minor simulation whose collecting interest rests chiefly on the scarcity of a complete-in-box Japanese copy, confirmed by the gap between loose and CIB prices. A publisher better known for the arcade, Romstar left few Famicom cartridges behind. The object is console-boxing catalogue filler rather than a cult title.
