Gay Don

Don is more concerned with his hair than with the fight.  The "Rose in the Mouth" pre-fight dance routine clearly shows where his focus is.
 

Every character portrays some sort of exaggerated persona, and this is usually reflected in their pre-fight introduction and what they say between the rounds.  Some people find the fighters' comments tto be absolutely halarious, but when I was looking for a good quote nothing stood out to me as being that funny.  Still, explore if you are curious.  Maybe your tastes differ.  So there you have it.  If you have this game, play it, if you never did, go get it, and if you beat it, try it again.  This game is still fun and challenging and it did not take amazing graphics to make it so.

Pass keys are important
 
Little Mac has it all going!  Not only does he have superb fashion sense, he's also a hard worker.  Mac has become so strong he's become as large as King Kong!
 

Being the dedicated OLD SKOOL reporter that I am, I decided to play Mike Tyson's punch out on emulator just to make sure it was still fun. I played through it twice, the first time through I lost to Soda Popinski and the second time to Mr. Sandman.  The keyboard just doesn't compare to an actual Nintendo controller, and although I was able to pick apart some of the easier opponents, the lack of response got me whooped by the better fighters.

Here's me in a familiar position; on the floor and getting laughed at....  :(

Try a gamepad for PC. The response time should be the same:) At least your emulator works. I haven't found one that works well with Vista...

Great game from my youth.

Of course nothing beats my now-boxed NES and Punch-Out!! cart, but I do like FCE Ultra, though I still run XP.
