The only problem is that punchout is really designed to be one player.
Most of the game you wait for some one to swing then you hit him.  So I
imagine in 2 player mode you would just have two guys sitting there
because they both know if they stick their neck out they'll get hit.
Maybe you could devise a new way to play for 2 players (fakes and things
like that added in.)  

If you can figure out a better way I'll write it,
that is if someone hasn't written it already.  I'm already planning a game
after my first.

But if you want help I'll teach you everything I know,
direct you to get/send routines through privte email so you can write it
yourself.

Good idea though.  I'd like to see a one player punchout.
