Bruno goes all out to KO the opposition in Elite's boxing simulation, endorsed by Britain's top boxer.

The object of the game is to defeat eight opponents in a bid for the Heavyweight Championship of the World. Fighting styles differ from opponent to opponent - so simply learning the controls of the game isn't enough.

To defeat each opponent, Bruno - the character you control - has to knock him down three times during a three minute round.

A KO is achieved by reducing your opponent's "status" - indicated by "bar graph" graphic at the top of the screen - by a barrage of punches or by activating the KO meter which enables you to land a devastating KO punch! If you fail to defeat your opponent, you get a chance to have another crack at him.

The screen shows the ring with a huge crowd of spectators surrounding it. You look over Bruno's shoulders at a cartoon style graphic opponent - each of the eight challengers is different. Frank began life as a wire-frame figure - as can be seen from our pre-production screen shots. Since then Elite have altered him to become a fully animated and "filled-in" character.

You control Bruno using keyboard or joystick - either way you'll feel as if you've been through a couple of rounds with a real bruiser!

Overall, a great sports simulation. The animation is great and play action really addictive. A champion game!
