yep, I beat iron mike, too. but, i also needed the pattern. obviously, this was almost 20 years ago, but wasn't it something like 12 straight uppercuts---then you hit him----repeat---until you beat him. but if he hit you once, you were dead because you couldn't get out of the way. it was back in the good ole' days when my reflexes were a bit quicker than they are now.
that was a good game, though.
on another note, my roommate in college held the 'nintendo world record' for the original golf. he shot 21 under, i think. he had to take screen shots and send them to nintendo. i did a google search of his name recently and one of the links took me to a listing and there was his name on an old nintendo website. pretty hilarious. he played it a ton, actually ended up flunking out of school because of his nintendo playing. i'd go to bed at midnight, and he'd be 'taking a break' from studying for a little nintendo......i'd get up at 7 am and he'd still be sitting there playing, and the textbook was still open to the same page....chips and pop cans all over.....pitiful........ahhh, those were the days........
