Intellivision
I remember growing up, some good friends of mine who lived done the road had the old Intellivision game console. One of the game cartridges for Boxing, was a hoot. What I remember most about that game was that there were three ways for your fighter to win the match. One was by a decision. The second (like the real thing) was a knockdown and then a 10 count. And the third way was to deliver a knockout punch that literally "knocked the other fighter's lights out". The game ended immediately, and the defeated boxer lay flat on his back, while seeing game console computer-generated "stars". That is exactly how I feel sometimes...as if somebody knocked me flat on my back with a knockout punch, and I am seeing the stars above me. Actually, when somebody used to really whomp me with a throw in judo, and I landed hard, I also clearly remember "seeing the stars".
