Boxing Legends of the Ring

Boxing Legends of the Ring mini icon
Genre: Boxing & Wrestling Publisher: Electro Brain
Developer: Sculptured Software Inc. Release Date: Jun 2, 93 [North America]
Also Available On: SNES Perspective(s): Third Person

Background:
Step in the ring with 8 of the greatest middleweights of all time. Legends such as Sugar Ray Leonard and Rocky Graziano make an appearance in the game. If you don't feel like using any of the existing characters then you can make your own character to compete with the legends. With 3 modes of play there's more than enough here to keep you entertained for hours.

Gameplay:
During fights, it is possible to keep track of the participating boxers' wellbeing by observing the small portraits of the fighters' faces at the top of the screen. As the fighters receive punishment, these portraits show injuries such as cuts and bruises, the severity of which indicate the fighter's health (or lack of). There is also a boxing glove shaped meter at the top of the screen, that indicates how much power a boxer has left in his punches (as in a real fight, the more punches boxers throw, the more tired they become, resulting in weaker punches).

The fighters' movement about the ring is limited to side-stepping left or right; it is impossible to step back or forward. A variety of punches can be thrown; left jabs, crosses to the head, hooks to the body, and uppercuts to the head (all punches except jabs can be thrown with either hand). It is also possible to throw a limited number of so-called 'super punches', that are essentially either a right cross or a right uppercut, but with extra power. At the start of each round, each boxer is capable of throwing one super-punch at any time, although it becomes possible to throw one more with each knockdown they score against their opponent. Defensive techniques consist of blocking, dodging, and clinching.

Each boxer has three attributes: 'power', 'stamina', and 'chin'.

There are three different modes: 'exhibition', 'career', and 'battle of the legends'. In 'exhibition' mode, a player can choose to fight as any boxer in the game, against any boxer in the game, against either the console or another player. In 'career' mode, a player creates their own boxer, and fights their way through all the boxers in the game, before fighting for the world title.
Features:
• Choose from 8 widely recognized boxers.
• Box out in the Las Vegas Hilton Casino.
• Player Avatars display realistic emotions when punched.
• Battle through 3 different modes.
• Choose from characters who have 3 different attributes, power, stamina, and chin.
