This is a boxing video game featuring Rocky, The Italian Stallion and Clubber Lang. There are four skill levels and you can either be Rocky or Clubber playing against the computer or another player.

As soon as you press the reset button an excellent picture of Sylvester Stallone appears and the title music of the film can be heard.

This game can be played with ordinary joysticks, but using the Super Controllers makes it much more exciting, although the price - £50.00 - is a little off-putting!

The Super Controllers allow you to punch with the right hand to the head, or to the body with the left hand. The boxer can also duck to guard his head.

The fight starts when you hear the bell. Both boxers move to the centre of the ring and try to score points by landing punches to the head and body, breaking up your opponent's guard and by knocking your opponent down.

If the boxers get too close, Clubber and Rocky go into a clinch. The referee breaks them up and they have to start boxing again. They can move up and down three 'lanes' in the ring and your boxer can be caught on the ropes.

At the top of the screen the round number, the timer and each boxer's daze and fatigue indicators can be seen. Punches to the head affect daze more than fatigue - the more black and less blue the daze indicator shows, the more your boxer is confused and the slower his actions will be.

Punches to the body affect fatigue more than daze - the more red and less grey the fatigue indicator shows the more tired your boxer is.

If your fatigue or daze indicators become completely covered over by red or black, you will be knocked down and ten points will be awarded to your opponent. The referee will then begin his count. If you do not stand up in time the fight will be awarded to the other boxer.

Each round lasts one minute. Rocky and Clubber return to their corners and a scrolling message tells you who won and by how many points. Depending on the skill level, the fight can last 3, 5, 10 or 15 rounds. There is also a demonstration fight showing off the very good graphics and sounds of the game.

Rocky is quite difficult to play to begin with, but I kept going back for more, even though I was always on the floor, because the game is so realistic and addictive.

The game is a definite buy for people who like boxing and video games, or for those who simply enjoyed the Rocky films.
