Description: Atari 8-bit "Fight Night" XE Cartridge Copyright Atari Corporation 1987. (64k XL/XE only). RX8085 NO Box. Cartridge Only. by Accolade. Strap on your boxing gloves, and step into the ring. As you take on some of the world's toughest fighters in this total action game licensed from Accolade, you can assume the personality and skill of one of the five existing contenders or you can create your own boxer and train him in punching skills, foot- work, timing, and sparring. From the opening bell to the final knockdown, whether you're in the ring fighting a friend or the computer, you'll be calling on all of your skills and instincts to survive. You start by choosing from Training, Sparring, Tournament, Main Event, or Boxing Construction. Boxing Construction allows you to create your own custom-designed fighters, specifying their physical characteristics and fighting style. I built a new fighter, Crazy Craven, with a powerful punch, strong offense, and high intelligence. In Training, you use your joystick to practice punching, footwork, and timing. With the fire button down your fighter is on the offense throwing jabs and body blows. With the button up, you can move right or left or guard your face and chest. In Sparring, you practice what you've learned in training against another fighter, while in the Main Event, you fight against a series of five contenders—Dip Stick, Kid Kastro, Hu Him, British Bulldog, and Bronx Bomber—each one more powerful than the last. Man, this game is tense. I figured I could skip Dip Stick and start with Kid Kastro. What a mistake! He throws so many punches, I was always on guard. It took me a while to learn that his punches lack real pop so that a few well-placed body blows have real impact. Land a good blow, and his hat flies right off too! The object to the fight is to knock out the contender by landing blows to his face and body, while avoiding his punches. Each time you land a blow, your score goes up and your opponent's KO bar lengthens. There are three rounds to a match. Your points accumulate during each three-minute round and, if neither fighter is KO'd by the end of the match, the player with the highest number of points wins by decision. Don't expect to KO British Bulldog or Hu Him the first or second time out. It took me many hours to develop the speed, stamina, strategy, and style to take them on. Hint: always step into your punches against these guys. Before long you'll be ready to challenge the reigning champ, the Bronx Bomber. -Brad Butler Requires an Atari 8-bit Computer(64k XL/XE) with joystick.
