World Championship Boxing Manager

STORY / GAMEPLAY:
Your job as a boxing manager is to make new contracts, watch training sessions, heal your fighter(s) and make appropriate decisions to succeed. You arrange fights by calling other boxing agencies and managers or individual fighters. There are 17 computer controlled managers who mange a total of 100 boxers (!) under contract. You view your boxer's records and accordingly you make the calls to arrange fights! Use your negotiation skills (by choosing the most appropriate of the available answers) to secure bouts against rated boxers! Arranging fights and winning will increase your athletes' world ranking which will lead them to a world championship title and you to lots of wealth! You may also arrange to watch a few fights and decide which of your boys is the most capable to win! You can plan each of your boxer’s training schedule in detail by selecting certain available activities, which will effect different statistics!

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The Amiga graphics are pretty nice and look identical to the Acorn Archimedes and PC (MS-DOS) versions. The game uses several detailed indoor screens -some of them animated (like watching the secretary moving her awesome body around the office!) Unfortunately there are no animated boxing fights which is rather awkward at least in order to add a little more to the game's good presentation. The Amiga's sound is also good, and comprises of a (rather repetitive but) but nicely composed tune as well as some sampled sound effects during fighting such as crowd cheering, round bell ringing (that are missing from the other versions).
