I owned this game on my IBM 386 SX 33 Megahertz pc back in the turn of the 1990s. This was the grandfather of the Greatest Heavyweights series on the Sega Genesis. My friends and I would create boxers and try to win the World Title. The game was very advanced for its time, with various promoters you could select, various trainers that worked on different aspects/ stats of your character. The character make was simple with Speed, Power, Stamina.. etc. You would fight to climb the ranks, and also could set world records, like fastest knockout, oldest world champion, win streaks and the like. For some reason I will never forget Fists DeFalco an over the hill punching bag you can beat on to get yourself on track. Anyways game is a blast, and I think they got Dan Dierdorf to do the announcing but my computers sound card was abysmal, I could be mistaken.

Die Hard Arcade
Die Hard ArcadeDie Hard Arcade is a beat 'em up for two players, who play as either John McClane or Chris Tompsen (Bruno Delinger and Cindy Holiday in the original Japanese version). Players fight their way through waves of enemies, using their fists, feet, and a variety of weapons that can be collected from enemies or the environment, from household items such as brooms and pepper shakers to high-damage missile launchers and anti-tank cannons. Most weapons are automatically lost at the end of each action scene, but hand guns can be retained so long as they have ammunition remaining. The typical level structure is a number of minions the player must defeat in many rooms, followed by a boss. Bosses can be anything from human minions of White Fang to spider robots. Quick Time Events are interspersed between many of the scenes. In these events, the player(s) may be running and turning a corner and they face an enemy, so they must perform a designated command to avoid being injured or to help defeat an enemy. In some cases failing a Quick Time Event will result in loss of health, as is usual for QTEs, but failing most will put the player characters into an additional action scene which they otherwise would not have to complete. Cut scenes are interspersed into the action.

Jet Set Radio Future
Jet Set Radio FutureJet Set Radio Future is a video game developed by Smilebit and is the sequel to Jet Set Radio. Similar to the original, it depicts a future Tokyo where freedom of expression is outlawed. The user plays a character in the GG's, a gang of in-line skating graffiti artists who skate around Tokyo covering up rival gangs' graffiti, knocking over Rokkaku police, and dancing to the electric soundtrack. The game uses a cel-shaded style of animation, and has been widely acclaimed for its unique music style, detailed art, and gameplay. Though the game is set in the future, its style and content incorporates many aspects of 1980's old school hip hop culture, as well as 1990's J-pop culture.
