Rock em Sock em Robots will rock your robot socks off

I’ve always had a fondness for games that allow me to beat other people up - Mortal Kombat, Virtual Fighter, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out… they always helped me feel triumphant and invincible, even though outside of the cyber fighting world I was completely powerless (my underdeveloped bicep is still recovering from being overthrown in an arm wrestling match against my brother two decades ago).

Aside from all of the lethal video games on the market, I always wanted a Rock em sock em Robots game for Christmas. Like little Ralphie Parker from A Christmas Story and his coveted Red Ryder BB gun, the object of my obsession was the original TKO classic that is now on sale at the Vermont Country Store. I still don’t know why I never got one. It’s not like I could’ve shot my eye out with it.

Get back to the fighting basics with the Original Rock em Sock em Robots game that has been a classic since 1966. Featuring total knock-out excitement for over forty years, Rock Em Sock Em Robots gives you a chance to release all of your aggressions old school style by maneuvering your robot of choice and powering punches to hopefully knock your opponent’s block off.

DID YOU KNOW? The Rock Em Sock Em Robots had a brief run in with the law when they were arrested for beating up a now retired Robocop.

Take back your “King of the Ring” title with these nostalgic boxers from your youth. You’ll love taking a trip down memory lane, or gift them to your kids who will get a kick, punch and jab out of a game the old folks used to play before Wii.

No hitting below the belt, last robot with his head intact is proclaimed champion.

I call the red robot.
