I can safely say that this game has pleasantly surprised me - you know I mean, Harry? I expected the usual dramatically cut-down and disappointing 16K effort, but in this game the graphics are great (if a little chunky) and really make the whole game.

Frank Bruno's Boxing is a boxing game where you have to fight your way to the top through different opponents - The Canadian Crusher, Andre Puncheredov and the Fling Long Chop. Only three on the C16 rather than the larger numbers on the other machines - but no worry, three is enough as you have to fight them at three different levels anyway.

The format of the game is your opponent facing you, and you (playing Frank himself) face him. Around the ring is the usual ropes and a scoreboard with pictures of the two fighters on it.

You can't move around the ring, but you can duck and dive and there are a variety of moves that can be made with different types of punches, and your opponent don't half look funny when you clock him a couple of times - know what I mean?

The game is great to play, and despite its simple concept and content carries itself off well - mainly due to the large graphics.
