For years, elite video game players tried to beat 'Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!' — blindfolded. Some believed topping the final boss was impossible. Not Jack Wedge. (OnlyAGameNPR)
Jack Wedge attempted to beat the 1987 video game"Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!" while covering his eyes with his beanie.
"His punches send you to the mat in one hit for a good portion of the fight," Wedge says."One mistake, and you’re down. You’re down three times. That’s it. Fight’s over. You lose." "Weekly or daily messages being sent back and forth there became like monthly to bi-monthly messages. And it just kind of — things slowed down for that right around there," Wedge says."I mean, I’d still play the game the odd time, because it was one of my favorites, but just very casual there."
"I’m just gonna say something about Mike Tyson," he told the crowd."I don’t want to say it’s impossible to beat him blindfolded, but the odds of it happening would probably be about the same as the odds of winning Powerball or something like that." By this time, a member from the original"Punch-Out" GameFAQs, DTysonator, had beaten Mike Tyson blindfolded. But he had skipped to the final boss. No one had ever beaten the game blindfolded from start to finish.
"I have some new tricks on Tyson, so I’m gonna at least make it out of Round 1 here," Jack says in the video.
