Rocky Balboa is back in a new app from Tapinator to celebrate 40 years

Posted on Thursday, December 8, 2016 by RICHARD HARRIS, Executive Editor

Tapinator just launched ROCKY, a free iOS game created in conjunction with MGM Interactive, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic Academy Award-winning film. 


ROCKY, the ultimate underdog story of a fighter who rises up from the slums of Philadelphia to go the distance against the heavyweight champion of the world, made its first appearance on movie screens in 1976. Fans can play as the famous blue-collar fighter and face familiar foes such as Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago. Land combinations, counter-punch, dodge, and weave as this arcade style boxing RPG and card-collection game enables you to relive some of Rocky’s most famous moments set to the legendary movie theme song.

“We are proud to introduce the iconic fighter Rocky Balboa to a new generation of fans through our new free mobile game ROCKY,” said Tapinator CEO Ilya Nikolayev. “The introduction of this game heralds the beginning of an exciting new mobile game in the sports category that we believe will transcend genres.”
