One of my favorite retro games that I've ever experienced is Punchout for the NES. I feel like this game really hit the nail on the head with a memorable cast of characters, smooth controls, and an amazing amount of difficulty. In Punchout you play as little mac, a small fighter who has to go through many divisions to rank up against much bigger opponents. The game starts you out in an easy match against glass joe and then hits you in the face with Von Kaiser who is a much faster and unpredictable opponent. I think when the game really starts to scale though is when you face up against soda popinski. This guy is really difficult. He's about three times as big as you and his punches knock you down almost immediately. His punches come out in a very unpredictable pattern and are extremely hard to react to. I think one of the things that this game does perfectly is how unlike NES wrestling (which is another amazing game) it has a much more memorable style of play and cast of fighters that you face.
