Heavyweight Champ is a 1976 boxing video game developed and published by Sega. The game featured black-and-white graphics and critics have since identified it as the first video game to feature hand-to-hand fighting.
The 1976 original features gameplay viewed from a side-view perspective. It employs two boxing glove controllers, one for each player, which move up and down for high and low punches, with an inward movement for striking. It uses large monochrome sprite visuals for the graphics.
