8 Challenging Video Game Moments That Made You Sweat

One of the first games allowing the player to take part in the sweet science that really captured the public imagination was Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! on the NES.

Released when Iron Mike had captured the World Heavyweight Championship and looked set to bulldoze through the sport's most famous division, there was no-one more fitting to be on the cover of a boxing game.

With all that in mind, it kinda makes sense that the baddest man on the planet, and the titular character of the aforementioned game, was going to prove to be a real challenge for players who reached the final level of Punch-Out!!.

After all, all the people Little Mac defeats on his way to the top are fictional characters whereas the on-screen version of Tyson may as well be a deity with how omnipotent he is.

In order to defeat Tyson at quite literally his own game, players must perfect their strategy, or risk finding themself on the wrong end of that famous knockout punch.
