Mike Tyson Signed Video Game Oversize Photograph
Offered is the opportunity to own a Mike Tyson signed oversized photograph that is based on the massively popular Mike Tyson Punch-Out video game produced by Nintendo. Tyson was only 20 years old and had not yet reached the superstardom of his first Heavyweight Championship when he was signed by Nintendo for $50,000 to allow his name and likeness to be used for a video game being developed, one that was a branch-off from an arcade game. The person playing the game fights as Little Mac, a 17-year-old from the Bronx in New York City. The player of the game starts off in the Minor Circuit, and Little Mac must advance through the Minor Circuit, the Major Circuit, and then the World Circuit. The ultimate goal is for Little Mac to fight and defeat Mike Tyson. Just getting to fight Tyson in the game was extremely difficult and defeating Tyson was practically impossible. Little Mac only weighed 107 pounds, and his punching arsenal was limited to left and right body punches, left and right jabs, and an uppercut. Only by skillfully counterpunching could Little Mac earn a star, which gave him the ability to throw his uppercut. Along the route to possibly meeting Tyson for the championship, Little Mac had to surpass opponents such as Glass Joe, a basic fighter from Paris, France, Von Kaiser, a really tough pugilist from Berlin, Germany, the tall Piston Honda, from Japan, and Don Flamenco, a thin fighter from Madrid, Spain. After Tyson's contract expired with Nintendo, the game name was changed to merely Punch-Out. Over three million copies of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out were sold in the three years Tyson's name and image were used. The over-sized photo measures approx. 14.25x19.5", matted and framed to 22.75x26.75". Apparently, the real Mike Tyson couldn't get past the minor circuit Glass Joe when Tyson played the game. The photo is in excellent condition. Tyson signed the photo in big and bold blue marker. The signed photo comes with a Fitterman hologram and a New England Picture LOA.
