Summary

Title Fight is a behind-the-back boxing game developed by Sega-AM3 and released by Sega for arcades (using Sega System 32 hardware) in 1993. A spiritual successor to Sega's 1987 game Heavyweight Champ, Title Fight features a similar twin-joystick control setup that corresponds each oversized joystick (or "glove handle") with each of their boxer's arms, giving the illusion of throwing actual punches and guarding or dodging their opponent. The game follows one of several boxers in their journey to winning the championship belt. Title Fight takes full advantage of the hardware's sprite-scaling effects not only for the large character sprites, but also for the ring itself (which now rotates in a 3D space, allowing for 3D side-stepping). It also features linked multiplayer, one of the few boxing games of its type to do so.
