Rocky is a boxing simulator game based on the famous movie series of the same name about good boxer Rocky Balboa (played by Sylvester Stallone). The game has several modes, including Movie Mode, Exhibition and Knockout Tournament. In Movie Mode you can follow the movie series, starting each part with three minor opponents and finishing the big boss in the end. Each character has personal weaknesses.
The gameplay revolves around punching and dodging your opponent's attacks, trying to knock them out before they do the same to you. You can also train Rocky prior to each fight to improve his skills. The game features various characters from the movie series, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Choosing your boxer
Use the directional buttons to choose a boxer, then press the button to select, or press the button to see the boxer bio screen, which gives you the background information on each fighter.
If two players choose the same boxer, the player who selects last will fight in an alternate costume. A player can also opt to fight in the alternate costume by pressing the button to select.
Repeat the procedure to choose a CPU opponent. A second human player can join in at any time on the Character Select screen by pressing the START button on a controller inserted into another port.
Only unlocked characters can be selected. If you'd like to randomly select a boxer from those available, highlight the box with the "?" icon and press the button.
Pre-Fight Options
After choosing the boxers, the pre-fight option screen will appear. From here you can make some last-minute fight alterations. Use the up and down directional buttons to choose the option you wish to change, and left and right to change the value of the selected option.
•
Venue: Where the fight will take place.
•
Round Length: Length of each round in seconds or infinite length.
•
Number of Rounds: Number of rounds the fight will last.
•
COM Skill: Skill level for the opponent in single-player modes.
If you wish, the default values for round length, number of rounds, and skill level can be changed in the options menu.
Pre-Fight Introductions
Before the start of each fight, the announcer will introduce each boxer. You can skip the introductions by pressing the START or button. These introduction sequences can be disabled for Exhibition Mode from the options menu.
Health and Punch Power Meters
Each boxer has their own Health and Punch Power meters located at the top of the screen. These meters will rise and fall during the fight.
Each boxer's health bar shows his potential and actual health at the same time. Potential health is shown as a darker bar and depicts the maximum health you could regain if not hit during the round. Actual health is shown as a lighter bar and depicts your current health status during the round. If this bar is reduced to zero from a series of blows, your boxer will be knocked down.
Keeping an eye on the current level of the Punch Power meter is essential for throwing powerful punches. Each time you throw a punch, a small amount of Punch Power will be lost, but it will recover when you are not throwing punches. Try to keep your Punch Power meter as full as possible when throwing combos to inflict maximum damage.
Stunning an Opponent
You can stun your opponent by throwing fast combos - inflicting a large amount of damage in a short space of time. When your opponent is stunned, stars will fly around his head as he staggers to regain his composure. Use this opportunity to throw a barrage of punches or try a devastating super punch to knock him straight to the canvas.
Super Punches
Each boxer has one or two super punches at their disposal. These punches are truly devastating and can floor your opponent in one shot. Because these punches are so powerful, they tend to take a little longer to throw, leave you open to a counter, and cost a great deal of energy to attempt. Use your super punches wisely and they will give you the edge at any point in a fight.
Blocking
You can block punches by holding down the L1 button. As each punch lands against your block it will begin to weaken and start to let punches through. You can tell how strong your potential block is by looking at how much your boxer sways after each hit. If he is only moving a small amount, then your

SUPER PUNCH
Tips & Maps
The Straight
The straight is used as a form of attack, a counter to stop your opponent, or a power punch to take control of the fight.
The Hook
The hook is an extremely powerful punch, thrown with a bent arm, most effective at close to medium range using full body rotation for a K.O.
The Uppercut
The uppercut is an explosive short-range punch brought up and underneath your opponent's jaw, dazing or knocking them out, but leaves you open.
Super Punches
Each boxer has two truly devastating super punches that can floor an opponent in one hit, but they take longer to throw, leave you open, and cost a great deal of energy.
Block
Use your block to defend against incoming punches, but its efficiency decreases with each successful block, so get out of danger and let your boxer regain composure.
Dodge (Bob, Weave, Lean Back and Duck)
Use dodges to stay within fight range and make your opponent miss, or to throw a counterpunch from a defensive position, which can be deadly if timed correctly.
Evasive Dodge
Evasive dodges should be used to get away from your opponent quickly, especially when cornered, allowing a practiced player to turn the tables and dish out punishment.
Stay away from the corners
Avoid the corners of the ring as much as possible to prevent being trapped.
Vary your fight distance
Swap between outfighting (far) and infighting (close) to keep your opponent guessing.
Use jabs and straights for outfighting and hooks and uppercuts for infighting
Employ specific punch types based on your distance from the opponent for maximum effectiveness.
Use your jab to find your range
A jab can help you determine the optimal distance for your other attacks.
Keep an eye on your punch strength
Monitor your punch strength and avoid wasting powerful punches unnecessarily.
Use powerful combinations to stun your opponent, then finish him with a super punch
Combine punches to daze your opponent, then deliver a super punch for a knockout.
Use taunts to regain health and punch power
Taunting your opponent can help your boxer recover health and punch power.
Keep moving!
Constantly move around the ring to make yourself a difficult target to hit.
Learn to counterpunch dodge and hit
Master the technique of dodging an attack and immediately following up with a counterpunch.
