Exciting Boxing cover (1987) 🔗


Admittedly, the most exciting thing about Exciting Boxing has to be it's inflatable boxer for a controller, but the fact that the cover art was apparently inspired by a Captain America cover is pretty neat, too. (I bet the blow-up dude plays about as poorly as most novelty controllers of the time, anyway.)
