Game Information
|
Super Slugfest is a boxing video game for both home console and arcade.
History[edit]
Homer and Bart both played Super Slugfest at home with Bart beating Homer every time, but Homer insists on playing, determined to win. After many defeats, Homer eventually goes to Noiseland Video Arcade to play the game for practice. While there he gets training from Howie — Howie makes him bark for it and calls him Fido, as he is the best at it. When he rematches Bart, he is beating him until Marge pulls the plug on the game and Bart "retires" from video game boxing undefeated.
Behind the Laughter[edit]
The game is a parody of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (albeit bloodier) which was created by Nintendo for their NES console. The two fighters also loosely resemble Bart and Homer, one of the fighters is bald and the other had spiky hair. The referee is also similar in appearance to the human characters in Matt Groening's Life in Hell comics.
The game's title on the arcade cabinet is Slugfest. On the game's title screen, the title of the game is Super Slugfest.
In Deep, Deep Trouble, Bart recounts how the game was used for gambling. At 742 Evergreen Terrace, Martin Prince plays Nelson at the console version of the game, beating him at the game and demanding cash, until Nelson physically beats Martin.
