Digital Champ is a boxing game where you have to fight against other fighters to become the champion. The game shows you from your fighter's point of view, with your gloves in front of your face and the opponent standing in front of you. You use the joypad to dodge punches, throw different punches, use your special punch, and defend yourself.
The gameplay is simple but challenging, requiring you to time your punches correctly and avoid taking too much damage. As you progress through the game, the opponents become harder to beat, and you'll need to master various techniques to emerge victorious.
