Featuring heavyweight champion George Foreman, this is a boxing simulation where players take on the role of Foreman, going through a series of twelve rounds against different boxers to win the championship title belt.
Played from a third-person perspective using a view from right over the shoulders over the boxer, players can move left and right to dodge incoming punches, block and throw left and right punches. The standard punch is a cross, but by holding the Up-key pressed, jabs can also be thrown.
A fight consists of a maximum of three rounds of three minutes each. When a boxer is knocked down four times, the match is over (technical knock-out). The same happens when a boxer goes down three times in a single round (regular knock-out). When down, players need to press both punch buttons in rapid succession to get back to their feet.
All versions of George Foreman's KO Boxing can be played with two players. A password system is used to save the progress.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this boxing sports game, players step into the ring as legendary heavyweight champion George Foreman during his historic comeback career. Acting as the strategist from ringside, you must guide the powerhouse fighter through intense matches against younger, highly-ranked contenders. By executing precise moves and powerful punch combinations, players must defeat every opponent to reclaim the Heavyweight Championship Title.
Story
The Heavyweight Hero
George Foreman is a heavyweight hero with an appetite for cheeseburgers and the World Heavyweight Boxing Title. The gregarious 251 lb. fighter has a heart of gold and a fist of granite.
Several years ago, few odds makers would have bet on the Foreman comeback after a ten-year retirement from boxing. However, giant George continues to battle much younger opponents. He is formidable, with a wealth of experience and a powerful punch.
The Road to the Title
The goliath Texan started out as a boy in a Houston street gang. He was a mean street fighter, but the first time he put gloves on, he was defeated by a skinny light-heavyweight.
Despite his first boxing experience, George returned to the Job Corps fighting ring. Under the supervision of coach Doc Broaddus, he became their finest boxer and signed on for the 1968 Olympics, where he won the gold medal.
Foreman turned professional and, at age 24, knocked out George Frazier for the Heavyweight Title. He lost the Title in 1974 to the incredible Muhammad Ali.
The Comeback Record
He began his comeback with an impressive four-round knockout over Steve Zouski in 1987. He followed this up with knockouts over Gerry Cooney and Adilson Rodriguez.
In the fourth year of his return, Foreman's record is a stunning 26-1. This brings his lifetime boxing record to an astounding 71 wins, 66 knockouts, and 3 losses. No fighter in history can match his official record.
Full of good humor, optimism, and junk food, the 43-year-old boxer is a powerhouse on his way to again capturing the Heavyweight Championship Belt!
The Foreman Comeback
George Foreman is flying high on the comeback trail! Pumped up and in shape, the Texan goliath of boxing is facing high-ranked contenders for the Heavyweight throne.
In his brutal winning battle against Alex Stewart, Foreman proved the seriousness of his relentless drive toward the Title. He will not back down! Focused with the concentration of an experienced champion, it will be tough for any boxer to go the distance against George Foreman.
Ringside Strategy
You're calling the shots from ringside. You know you can win! With careful strategy, the right combinations, and the right moves, you can take on all contenders for the Heavyweight Championship Title.
Your opponents are determined. They're younger fighters with sharp fighting technique, but George Foreman and you will bring them down for the count, one by one! The crowd is excited, the referee is ready, and there's the bell.
