Removed the Alternate Versions section. Heavyweight Champ has different game progression and mechanics, including a super punch. No graphics are reused. A different Sega team worked on it. It's certainly not an alternate version, and if there's any merit to calling it a "spiritual successor", it needs a source. Tag: section blanking |

A spiritual successor to ''Rocky'' was released for the Master System in 1991, near the end of the system's lifespan under the title of ''[[Heavyweight Champ]]''. The game improved upon the formula by incorporating the ability to choose from multiple boxers for both player one and player two, and sported richer, more defined graphics and characters. Gameplay elements were virtually identical, and the arena used in the ''Rocky'' game was re-used. In the U.S., ''Heavyweight Championship'' was released in 1990 for the Master System as ''[[James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing]]''. |
