Prize Fighter (Sega CD) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

- A playthrough of Sega's 1994 FMV boxing game for the Sega CD, Prize Fighter.
Fought and defeated all four boxers in the game, and all dropped within the first round.
I love the black-and-white look of this game! It looks super clean compared to most Sega CD FMV games, and it suits the tone that's so nicely set up by the cool intro.
I did turn training mode on to enable those little arrows around the video windows. I had most of the timings memorized, but they were a useful guide if I wasn't sure how to read a particular move. If you try to play solely by using those arrows, well, good luck. You'll never be able to press them fast enough to keep up with the pace of the match.
This is the entire playthrough, I didn't cut any matches out, including the multiple fights to raise my fighter's level to stand a chance against the other opponents. I've listed the times for each below:
3:26 vs. Honeyboy
12:48 vs. Mega Joe
21:32 vs. T Rex
36:15 vs. Nuke the Duke
45:03 - Secret bonus movie - a behind-the-scenes, making of featurette (in color) of Prize Fighter.
Man I was lucky taking out Nuke with that first knockdown - I was really wondering if I'd be able to pull off a win against him with how low my power points were. Lots of memorization to this one.
The game also had a fair number of recognizable faces in it, including Ben Bray (from Iron Man), Michael Buffer (the famous 'let's get ready to rumble!' announcer guy), Dick Miller (Gremlins), and some famous stuntmen like Gene Lebell.

This had a really good cast and acting. A lot of those interactive CD games from back then were pretty great, ground zero texas, night trap, and this one.
Tomcat alley too
@@chrissygcity6211 tomcat alley was my favorite sega cd fmv game.
@@demonsty I used to love that game bro 😎 literally blown me away 😂 can you remember night watch? Setting traps for burglars 😅
@@chrissygcity6211 night trap. yeah i loved it!
Farenheit was another good one
Thank you so much for putting this game up....my brother and I were up late because it's Christmas Eve (now officially Christmas early morning). And we started talking about this game because it was a Xmas present for me when we were both growing up. I could not believe that I found it on UA-cam. Truly you can find nearly anything on YT thanks to awesome people like you. God bless and Merry Christmas everyone!
I can't for the life of me remember who requested that I do this (to whom I responded 'not likely'), but whoever you are, after an eternity, here it is! Hope it was worth the wait.
This is one of those games that has to grow on you. The novelty of the FMV wears off long before you really have an intuitive understanding of how to play it - if you stick with it, though, the game can be extremely fun.
+NintendoComplete I did actually when you posted the first Mad Dog McCree. You said you didn't know if your patience level could handle it. I guess you could. I'm glad I checked back in cause I could never beat this game as a kid because I relied on the arrows. You're right about the reaction time never being fast enough to win the fights. I think I won the first two, but never saw the ending. Thanks for posting it so that I could see how it ended.
NintendoComplete you're the greatest Kid!
Prize Fighter came out on October 26,1993. Not 1994.
I got it for Christmas in '93 as it was bundled with the JVC X'Eye.
It was addicting. I played it when I was only 7
Wow. Dick Miller really WAS in everything!
Gotta love that they used gene leBell to be the referee lol. The guy was a monster
The acting in this is WAY above and beyond standard FMV fare.
Ref: what's your name!
fighter:grpefdf
Ref:what?
Fighter: Honey boy
Hey! No fair using training mode!! Lol
But yeah it was very difficult without it. Either had to guess where to punch or just swing like a wild man and hope
Yes! After the training round… I was so damn lost. It seems really random on where to throw punches and have them actually land. I could never figure that out so I played the first fight hundreds of times lol
@@aiRxShop I just used to put all of my stat points on one arm and swing with only that arm 🤣
T-Rex is played by Manny Perry. He played in movies like The last boy scout, nowhere to run, drop zone, National Lampoon's loaded weapon 1, sudden death, and rush hour.
Best of the best 2!
Damn.... After watching this I realised, I coulda been a contender, I coulda been somebody.....
R.I.P. Mark. I remember playing this game all of the time at your house. I'll never forget it.
mcq413 who is Mark?
dick miller
Me either 😢
Who in the hell is mark? 🤔
@@juanbadilla2232 , I'm sure it's a childhood friend...
Michael Buffer made sure to get a pay day whenever any situation presented itself. You gotta admire that in a person.
I love this channel because you can see the games that AVGN just touched on briefly!
At the time, this was the hottest graphics. Sega CD was ahead of its time.
I had one.. But nobody else I knew had one. Everyone was still playing SNES..
@@dbreiden83080 Thats because everyone knew the Sega CD was trash.. SNES was King. Sega Fan boys just didn't want to admit it.
No, laseractive was
This is like controlling a movie/cut scenes.
sure black and white in 94 was ahead of its time lol
The new heavyweight champion of the world by knockout.... Thhhhhhheeeeeeee Camera!
Connor Higley in japan they have mannequins as boxers.
A camera that knows how to get the ladies too... ;)
I used to have this game. So awesome.
Hmmm...I think I remember the game well enough to remember the Game Over Scene. If I am right, you get knocked out, and when you wake up, there's a Janitor in the ring, cleaning it up, and the whole place is empty. the janitor looks at you, shakes his head, and goes back to work.
This game brings back so much memories, I love the knockouts that happen when you land a body punch or an uppercut, especially on mega Joe lol!
I remember playing this at Sears and seeing sealed NES games in the bargain bin. If only I was smart enough to buy a few and ditch my baseball card collection.
"What's your name?" "Nawghel" "what?" "Honeyboy"
Yeah, a sealed Castlevania and Kid Icarus could net you over $10,000 these days.
oh this brings me back 😭😭😭😂😂😂💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Sega CD was SOOOOO ahead of its time. I remember this game like yesterday! For some reason I also had an encyclopedia and a dictionary lmao
You probably had the JVC X Eye (a sega genesis and sega cd all in one console made by JVC) It came with this game plus a dictionary and an encyclopedia.
Mine came with a karaoke cd and encyclopedia. Played the hell out of this game.
Joe: I CAN FIGHT!!!
Referee: What's your name??
Joe: JOE!!
Referee: .....FIGHT!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
@@anthonybell5160 I freaking lost it 😭😭😭
R.I.P. Gene LeBell 10/09/1932 - 08/09/2022. I will always need you now! No matter what
Wow this brings back memories, thanks for the upload.
I remember this at sears in the kids clothing section back in the day
This is literally where I remember the game from as well!
I remember these games fondly. Even then they were gimmicky but still a lot of fun
these graphics are better than my xbox one.. lol
+Eros Adonis Lmao ikr
Too bad gameplay is complete and utter shit
4:30 This music got my hyped back when I was a kid. Was ready.🤣
Forget sync on luma, this is EVERYTHING on luma
My favorite boxing game ever me and uncle mark miss u love u endlessly sleep well and peacefully 💞 see u on the other side rih4ever
Say what you want about the gameplay itself, but the production values of this are amazing. The cast is awesome, with the particular stand-out being Gene LeBell as the ref, and you can tell there was real skill with the direction. It pretty much feels like a Hollywood production. The music is also great, with the opponent's theme being really awesome. I really wish the canceled Saturn port would have come out, as it would have great to have a version with better video quality.
Two interesting things about this game: First, here is a really fantastic ending where the little kid ends up giving up his crutches and running across the ring to The Kid, but it's really hard to get since you have to TKO Nuke, which is extremely difficult to do both because it's hard not to lose before you manage it, and also, the game really likes to end the fight before you get to three knockdowns.
Secondly, if you train yourself up too much trying to make the game too easy, eventually when you enter a fight, you will just automatically lose immediately, making the game unwinnable and essentially ruining your game if you saved just before it starts. I have no idea if this is a bug or intentional programming, but it is really infuriating if you're a long way into the game.
I loved this game, but its far less frustrating watching someone else play it.
Man you wiped the floor with all those jabronis and at such a low power point! Nice job champ! I will say it's hilarious everybody is essentially just cheering on a camera on a gimble.
This game also featured Matthew McCurley, the greatest actor of all time. You might recognize him from great movies like Ice cream man or the awesome Hulk Hogan movie Secret Agent Club. Sarcasm aside, great job on this one.
Ha-ha I have to admit ignorance to that one, despite his A-list status as an actor :) Thanks!
i was addicted to this game
“What were they thinking!”
So funny story. When I was a kid we were gifted a Sega CD with a bunch of games, sewer sharks, night trap, dark wizard, a few more I can't remember and this. Lucky me right, but this game is a two disc game, my copy only came with one number 2. So I could only fight trex with no experience or skill points. I could land ten punches in a row and he still would do more damage with just one. I've seen every knock out animation and they're hilarious 😂. Fun times.
Remember this game uncle ❣️ mark I miss you so much I truly thank God I finally got to see you before u went on to glory we had crazy ass times didn't we lol sleep well 😂😆
Loved this game It was one of the better Sega CD games , and pretty groundbreaking at the time.
Next to corpse killer and T2 :D
"Just remember...It's *your* kneecaps, not mine"
ooh the 90's i miss yea
Tom Dotson Me too bro
Dragon’s Lair has been held as one of the greatest games; yet this one, which follows the same format, is dogged on by critics. I enjoyed the heck out of it!
So you’ve got character actors including PJ Soles, Floyd Levine, Dick Miller, Bob Apisa, Adam Lazare-White, Heather Elizabeth Parkhurst, MTVVJ Nina Blackwood, and Michael Buffer, and by the way, he trademarked the phrase “let’s get ready to rumble!”
When this came out you literally couldn’t drag me away from the tv for more then a minute, my parents finally installed a punching bag up on the back porch just to get me to move lol
wait, is the Judo Gene Labell as the ref?!
OMG I was thinking same thing!
@@stefy71 43:07
I loved this game!
Lol 11:12 “c’mon kid you ain’t nothin”
8 seconds later 11:19 he’s on the canvas eating a mat hahaha
Isnt one of the trainers for the kid the guy from gremlins?
I remember playing this game when it was on display at Best Buy in Melbourne, FL. I remember being amazed that it looked to real compared to my SNES. Now I realize that I was already playing much better games like SMW, F-Zero, Star Fox and Mario Kart. The FMV games were so bad.
Trex is my favorite boxer lol
I'm stopping the fight no I'm ok the hell u are Winner!!!
Was that kid at the beginning that says "Win for me Mr. Kid" the one from North and Little Giants? He played the rich kid in North and the brain who came up with the plays in Little Giants. If it isn't he sure looks like him.
judomaster81 He looks like the kid from Step By Step the kid with the glasses
I believe it’s Stuart Minkus from Boy Meets World
It is. The kid’s name is Matthew McCurley.
This LOOKS like it could be fun.
I wonder if it PLAYS like it's fun, though.
It was...I had it
Raging Bull anyone???
nice job. I played the hell out of this game in my youth. Have you ever beaten nuke by decision? I did it one time. It's so incredibly difficult. You have to crank your stamina way up while keeping your punch power low to avoid a knockout. After making all the first round hits, you have to throw as many punches possible during the first 30-60 seconds of round 2 then block and move during the rest of the round. Don't go down!! 3rd round same as 2nd round strategy. If you survive and hopefully land enough punches the cutscene is both cool, and albeit cheesy, but I have yet to find it on UA-cam. Challenge???
The Nerd: Prize Fighter. Reminds me of Raging Bull. I wait like eight minutes for the fight to start up, then what happens? I just get clobbered. I don't even know how to play this. I just tap buttons. But all I do is just swat past the guy. How do I hit him? Do I really care anyway? Nope.
Sega CD on *Nintendo* Complete? What heresy is this!?
I used to play this at my cousins house It was awesome
This game looks really dang good imo other than how terrible it looks when you block, not sure why they didn’t just use a real video capture of a block like everything else. Still not sure why games nowadays aren’t made like some of these sega cd games with real video instead of cgi like all games nowadays. I know Night Trap caused a big stink about video game violence. But I have watched a bunch of sega cd video gameplay and the system seemed way better than I would think any system could do at that time. Crazy it really didn’t do all that well. P.S. thanks for the upload!
"Nuke the Duke" is one of the coolest names ever. 💯
Did I tell you to break break clean now fight!!!
This looks pretty cool
Hi! Good video. Can I use your video to make footage of history Sega CD to explain how FMV mode works in this add-on?
I will be glad. I make my own series for consoles to polish audience :)
I had this game, and other Sega CD games, years ago! Played them on the JVC X'Eye. Why did I sell my stuff?!
I love this old game.
Alan Moore Me too
R.i.p Judo Gene Lebell
Edit2: HOLY HELL there is a PF:Remaster coming to PS4/5!
Man, I wanted to beat this game so badly as a kid. I could never figure out how to land punches consistently after the training fight and they’d disappear on the 2nd fight.
Edit: Aw hell, I wish the OG game had the training mode for all of the fights.
I used to have this game I beat it great game very underrated in my opinion
The Left Arm of Doom
Wow i never knew about this game haha. Great movie style like pc games, i liked it!
Thanks :) if you like this and haven't heard of these types of Sega CD games, you should look at its FMV library. It has a fair number that are similar to this! I'd recommend Night Trap or Wirehead, those are both great.
Sewer Shark was pretty fun. Most of these games we're pretty hard if you didn't cheat lol and the long load times of the Sega CD didn't help at all
I remember putting all my power point into one hand, just destroyed the opponents after a couple of hits lol
Break clean
My junior high school days.
"FIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!"

Estos juegos tan raros que no distinguís si son buenos o malos. Pero igual es muy curioso de jugarlo aparte que lo veo como un poco avanzado para la epoca. Imaginate si lo jugaras en un casco de realidád virtuál, sería epico
Aparte está re bueno que como premio por pasar todo el juego te muestren un documental Making Of de como se hizo y es muy curioso de verlo y mas siendo de los 90s
RIP Judo Gene
Hey its Michael Buffer from Ready to Rumble boxing
I love he say "Llllet's get ready to rumbleeeee!!" 5:37
Hairul Shamsul Me too
Damn I remember my cousin having this until the game got scratched good fucking luck lmao
Haha was it scratched in a fit of rage? Wouldn't surprise me
NintendoComplete yeah once my cousin got the game down after getting his ass handed to him he figured it out a little to late lol
3:26 9:38
What I want to see is all of the matches ending in decision and that you win the decision, especially the championship match.
Well it avoids the grainy washed-out look of most Sega CD games by being entirely in black-and-white. Plus you can frame it as a tribute to Raging Bull. Pretty clever!
This game was trying to be Raging Bull.
Ни одного русского комментария? Sega CD была очень крутая штука!
Aww memories!!!
The actresses, whomever they are, who played the ring girls are incredibly beautiful.
they were onto something so i thouggt...forgot about the cheap face shot cutaways....
the kid wins
11:10 Talk shit, get hit!
Owwwww... Very cool!
Just 4 wins to become the HW champ huh..
that how it be sometimes.
9 months to get to the champion, took me about 2
Back then they just took videos of people and called it a video game.
I cancelled HBO when they cancelled boxing. It was the main reason I paid for HBO and they took it away.
I wonder how much those people in he seats were paid to do this?
black and white and only a small portion of the screen to watch the game. was very bad.
Duke The Nuke.
Not a game of my taste but the style is really interesting. I don't know if they did it with the limitations of the Sega CD in mind but the B&W footage suffers the resolution and palette limits much less than if it was in color.
The kid
40:50 lmao 😂💀
