Legend of Success Joe[a] is a boxing video game developed by Wave Corporation and released for the Neo Geo arcade and home system.
The game is based on Tomorrow's Joe, a manga created by Tetsuya Chiba and Asao Takamori in the early 1970s that was also adapted into several anime series.
The player stars as Joe Yabuki, an aspiring boxer, as he goes from an unknown kid from the rough side of town to a boxing champion.
The game follows the traditional beat 'em up format, with some portions taking place inside a boxing ring and others taking place in the back alleyways, as Joe trains, fights thugs, and then fights in the boxing ring.
[9] It received negative reviews and is widely considered one of the worst games for the Neo Geo, with common complaints being poor controls, graphics and animation on a system that was touted as not having these problems.
