Panza Kick Boxing

Panza Kick Boxing[note 1] is a French fighting video game developed by Futura and originally published by Loriciels in 1991.

A sequel with various names to distance from the Panza endorsement, including Best of the Best: Championship Karate in the United States, was released a few years later.

The player controls a kick boxer who fights their way up the league table defeating opponents, while their ultimate goal is to challenge the Champion André Panza and take his title.

[2] The game contains a total of 56 kicks and punches, which players can assign to one of the 8 joystick movements to customise their boxer's fighting style.

[35] The game, closer in design to a re-release, was published in Japan as The Kick Boxing (Micro World)[36][37] and Super Kickboxing (Electro Brain)[38] as Panza was unknown in the country.

[43] Amiga Joker noted that while the gameplay, graphics, sound and options screen had been updated from the original, "apart from the title there are only a few real innovations", describing it as a "deceptive package".
