Riddick Bowe Boxing SNES
Game Information
Riddick Bowe Boxing is another one of the many boxing games released at the time, but with subtle differences. The HUD contains damage and energy meters along with a miniature ring up the top of the screen, useful to see the player's position in the ring so as not to get backed into a corner real easily. Players can compete in the standard, 1-Player v. CPU, 1-Player v. 2-Player or even a career mode, where there are four preset fighters to choose from along with an option to create customers boxers. The career starts out at position #25 in the ranking and players slowly work up the ladder, going to the gym in between bouts to build up stats to eventually take on "Big Daddy" himself, Riddick Bowe. The game is practically a copy of Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing, save for the graphics style and the included fighters.

Additional Information
Prepare to face a contender at certain times or retire from the ring if you lose two fights in a row. Your fighter also ages as he gains experience and must hang up the gloves after forty fights! The game is presented in a similar style as Evander Holyfield's "Real Deal" Boxing for the Sega Genesis: boxers are shown from a 2D horizontal perspective with individual damage meters for the body and head. A fatigue bar will decrease as you suffer blows, and a radar at the top of the screen lets you know your position in the ring at all times.
