'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (プライズファイター) is a [[full-motion video]] boxing game for the [[Sega Mega-CD]].

==Gameplay==
 +
{{ScreenThumb|Prize Fighter, Cutscene.png|width=200|Cutscene}}

{{ScreenThumb|Prize Fighter, Power Points.png|width=200|Power point distribution}}
 +
The game is a boxing game played from a first-person perspective and using full-motion video to depict the bouts. The video is filmed in black-and-white in the style of the 1980 boxing film ''[[wikipedia:Raging Bull|Raging Bull]]'', and boxers are portrayed by Hollywood stuntmen. The player plays as a heavyweight boxer nicknamed "The Kid," who must challenge four boxers, each more difficult than the last, to win the title and become the champion. The game spans two discs, with two contenders per disc.
 +
 
 +
Matches are three rounds lasting three minutes each, unless ended early by a knockout. Fights consist of multiple video segments, with opponents leaving openings in predictable patterns that the player must learn. Boxers occasionally clinch and block the camera so the game can load in a different video segment, which are played in a random order each match.
 +
 
 +
The player does not control the movement of the Kid around the ring but can choose from a variety of punches. The Kid can bob with {{left}} or {{right}} to avoid hits. He jabs with his left hand with {{A}} or with his right hand with {{C}}. He throws a hook to the head with his left hand with {{up}}+{{A}} (or {{X}}) or with his right hand with {{up}}+{{C}} (or {{Z}}). He throws a hook to the body with his left hand with {{left}}/{{right}}+{{A}} or with his right hand with {{left}}/{{right}}+{{C}}.  He throws an uppercut with his left hand with {{down}}+{{A}} or with his right hand with {{down}}+{{C}}. He blocks with his left glove with {{left}}+{{B}} or with his right glove with {{right}}+{{B}}. He blocks with both gloves with {{B}} with no direction (or {{Y}}).
 +
 
 +
Enabling the Training Mode in the options before a fight displays arrows around the video that shows the right move for every point in the fight, but only for the first round of each match. When an arrow appears on a side edge of the video, an arrow on the top indicates an opening for a hook to the head, the middle is for a jab, and the bottom is for a hook to the body. When an arrow appears on the bottom edge, it indicates an opening for an uppercut.
 +
 
 +
The player earns "power points" from fights that can be allocated to improve the Kid's stamina and left- and right-handed power. At the start of the game, the player has 321 points, evenly split between the three categories. The Kid becomes stronger by defeating weaker opponents and gaining points in order to compete against the stronger boxers. The player can fight opponents even after defeating them in order to gain more points. Points are allocated with {{up}} or {{down}}. They can be allocated 10 points at a time by holding {{A}}, 50 points at a time by holding {{B}}, or 100 points at a time by holding {{C}}. Newly gained points are automatically allocated in the same ratio as existing points.
 +
 
 +
Boxers have health meters that fill as they take punches. The Kid is knocked out when his health meter is filled, but he recovers part of his health meter if he blocks the hit instead. Opponents have a chance of reviving and recovering some health after their health meters are filled. The game cuts to close-ups of the player's punches landing.
 +
 
 +
The game saves the player's progress and high scores to the console's internal memory.
 +
 
 +
===Boxers===
 +
Opponents can be challenged in any order, though they increase in difficulty (indicated by their power points). Nuke "The Duke" Johnson cannot be challenged unless T. Rex Hawkins has been defeated at least once.
 +
 
 +
Honeyboy Hernandez and Mega Joe Falco are on the first disc, and T. Rex Hawkins and Nuke "The Duke" Johnson are on the second disc.

The game is a boxing game played from a first-person perspective and using full-motion video to depict the bouts. The video is filmed in black-and-white in the style of the 1980 boxing film Raging Bull, and boxers are portrayed by Hollywood stuntmen. The player plays as a heavyweight boxer nicknamed "The Kid," who must challenge four boxers, each more difficult than the last, to win the title and become the champion. The game spans two discs, with two contenders per disc.

Matches are three rounds lasting three minutes each, unless ended early by a knockout. Fights consist of multiple video segments, with opponents leaving openings in predictable patterns that the player must learn. Boxers occasionally clinch and block the camera so the game can load in a different video segment, which are played in a random order each match.

The player does not control the movement of the Kid around the ring but can choose from a variety of punches. The Kid can bob with Left or Right to avoid hits. He jabs with his left hand with A or with his right hand with C. He throws a hook to the head with his left hand with Up+A (or X) or with his right hand with Up+C (or Z). He throws a hook to the body with his left hand with Left/Right+A or with his right hand with Left/Right+C. He throws an uppercut with his left hand with Down+A or with his right hand with Down+C. He blocks with his left glove with Left+B or with his right glove with Right+B. He blocks with both gloves with B with no direction (or Y).

Enabling the Training Mode in the options before a fight displays arrows around the video that shows the right move for every point in the fight, but only for the first round of each match. When an arrow appears on a side edge of the video, an arrow on the top indicates an opening for a hook to the head, the middle is for a jab, and the bottom is for a hook to the body. When an arrow appears on the bottom edge, it indicates an opening for an uppercut.

The player earns "power points" from fights that can be allocated to improve the Kid's stamina and left- and right-handed power. At the start of the game, the player has 321 points, evenly split between the three categories. The Kid becomes stronger by defeating weaker opponents and gaining points in order to compete against the stronger boxers. The player can fight opponents even after defeating them in order to gain more points. Points are allocated with Up or Down. They can be allocated 10 points at a time by holding A, 50 points at a time by holding B, or 100 points at a time by holding C. Newly gained points are automatically allocated in the same ratio as existing points.

Boxers have health meters that fill as they take punches. The Kid is knocked out when his health meter is filled, but he recovers part of his health meter if he blocks the hit instead. Opponents have a chance of reviving and recovering some health after their health meters are filled. The game cuts to close-ups of the player's punches landing.

The game saves the player's progress and high scores to the console's internal memory.

Boxers

Opponents can be challenged in any order, though they increase in difficulty (indicated by their power points). Nuke "The Duke" Johnson cannot be challenged unless T. Rex Hawkins has been defeated at least once.
