Triple Punch (also sold as Knock Out!!)[1] is a horizontally scrolling grid capture game released in arcades by KKI (K.K. International) in 1982.[2] The goal is to fill all the rectangles in the level by coloring the lines surrounding them. Four different enemies chase the player along the lines and can be knocked out by three consecutive punches. It was sold both as a conversion kit and as an upright cabinet.[3]
Gameplay
The player controls a character referred to as a carpenter[4] who resembles Mario from the original Donkey Kong. Much like Amidar, the objective is to color the lines around all the rectangles, except in Triple Punch the game board is larger than the screen and scrolls horizontally.[2] Completing multiple rectangles at the same time doubles or triples the bonus.
Four enemies chase the player: an eraser, a ghost ("Ottobake"), a gorilla ("Gorigon"), and a fire.[5] The eraser removes already painted lines. The eraser, ghost, and gorilla can be knocked out with three punches in rapid succession, then an ambulance takes them away. The fire is always deadly.
