Teleroboxer is a game for Nintendo's Virtual Boy video game console. The game is a boxing simulator played in the first person view.

The hero, Harry, is a relatively small robot who fights other robots in the boxing ring. The game was unique in that it used two D-pads, one for each hand. The two hands were nearly independent of each other, and most of the challenge in the game came in controlling both at once. This game was similar in many ways to the Punch-Out!! series (in fact, the game was developed by Nintendo IRD, which created the Punch-Out!! series).

The game pits Harry and his operator (the player) against 7 other robots. Each robot has a different look and attack style. For example, the kangaroo robot "cheats" during the fight and attacks you with a second robot in its pouch. By careful dodging, and with well timed counterattacks, you could destroy the robot and move on.

If a player defeats all opposition without losing once, they face the champion. The champion is a cat robot controlled by a cat. Winning this battle without losing then puts you in a survival round. Here you fight all the robots in the game at random, until you lose. They get harder and stronger every time, ensuring that you can't get lazy. When you do lose, the game is finally over.
