Retro Game of the Week #1 : Mike Tyson's Punch Out !

Here it is !

My first review of a game of my collection. One of my favorite game of all time : Mike Tyson's Punch Out !
For those who don't know what is this game , it's one of the best game of the NES system. It's a boxing game where every opponent you face has a special ability or a special moves that you have to counter. The game is very challenging and the difficulty level is perfectly right . The songs are addictive and you will remember them for a long time.
Rarity of the game : Pretty Common . There is 2 versions of the game however . There is Mike Tyson's Punch Out and Punch-Out !!! . Note that the second version doesn't have Mike Tyson's as the final character but a MR. Dream. It is known that Mr.Dream is easier also . I have a few copies of each one including boxed copies of both but only played Mike Tyson's one till the end.
Here is my review :
Gameplay : 10/10
Graphics : 9/10
Sounds : 9/10
Difficulty : 10/10
Total : 38/40
I just recently beated Super Macho Man .. it was tough but i got it . Can"t beat Mike Tyson tho :P
Here is a picture of my feat : 
 
Picture of my 2 boxed copies :
 
 See ya next week for another review !
