Matches occur in 2D with a pseudo-3D perspective where moving to the left or to the right will "rotate' the field behind you.

punches with the right fist, with various moves done by holding the D-pad in various positions while hitting the punch buttons.
The graphics and match engine would be reused in the 1994 game Greatest Heavyweights.
