CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING ONLINE DOOR
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
programmed by Thomas Burker Sr.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Object of Game:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Championship Boxing pits you against the current champ. You must
defeat the current champ by outboxing (you have more punches landed
than your opponent) or by knocking him/her out!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
What Constitutes a Fight?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
A fight consists of 200 punches (10 rounds x 20 punches per round).
This does NOT mean that all punches will land and score. When a
punch is thrown, it is tallied. The rounds will roll over as you
fight, and when you START the 10th and final round you will be
notified in the display box.
You may QUIT anytime before the fight is over. This simply ends
the fight as a thrown-in towel and you lose.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
How Can I Win?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You can win 2 different ways:
■ Deplete the Champs strength and knock him/her out.
■ Score more landed punches than the Champ.
In either case, your name will be saved as the Champ and shown on
screen as long as you remain Champ. You CANNOT play as long as you
are the Champ. If you attempt to play, a screen will appear telling
you that you are still Champ and cannot fight yourself.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Configuring You As A Fighter REGISTERED VERSION ONLY
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
This is available in the REGISTERED version only! This allows you to
adjust your eye coordination, leg strength and arm strength as you
like based on a percentage (not to exceed 100% total). This can be
LESS than 100% however. What this does is allows you to throw more
effective punches (especially combinations). If you cannot configure
yourself, punches will be thrown at the same velocity at all times and
every type of punch will have the same basic effect.
You may CONFIGURE your fighter as many times as you like during the
fight. You will find percentage combinations that work better than
others.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Moving Your Fighter
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You move your fighter from left to right with the 'A' and 'S' keys on
your keyboard. These keys were chosen strictly for comfort. You can-
not move outside the confines of the ring.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
How The Champ Moves
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The champ moves in direct response to your moves! It is NEVER the same
pattern, so there is nothing to learn. You must ANTICIPATE where the
champ is going to move before throwing the punch of your choice. The
effectiveness of the punch (or lack of) is very important to your score
and the champs score.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Available Punches
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You can throw the following punches: (J)ab
(L)eft Hook
(R)ight Hook
(O)verhand Right
(K)idney Punch
(U)ppercut
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Restrictions on Punches
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
■ You CANNOT throw a right hook if your right eye is swelled shut!
■ You CANNOT throw a left hook if your left eye is swelled shut!
Note: Remember that your right eye on the monitor is actually your
left eye in real game life! Same goes for the left eye.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Effectiveness of Punches
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
When you throw a punch, the champ reacts either head on, to your left,
or to your right. If you can keep him/her directly in front of you
that punch lands with 100% effectiveness. If you are to the left or
right when you punch, the effectiveness will depend on what type of
punch you have thrown, for example, if you move to your right and throw
a right hook, that is NOT a very effective punch.
If you throw a punch and the champ moves 2 steps to either side, you
will take a rather severe blow to some part of your face. You will
then notice a quick loss of strength to boot!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Keep an Eye on Your Face!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The face graphic will show you where the damage is on your face as well
as the Champs face. Keep in mind that you can get hit MANY times in the
same place. You will only see a cut appear once, but if you get hit in
the same place your strength will go down, making you more likely to be
knocked out.
The MOST important thing to watch is your eyes! Remember as discussed
previously, you cannot throw left and right hooks if your eyes are
swelled shut. If you are not paying attention, you will be throwing a
lot of wasted punches that will be counterd by the Champ very quickly!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
No Time Limit Here!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Remember, there is no time limit during the fight. The punches thrown
dictate the pace of the fight. You can stop punching and analyze your
situation anytime you want. Take a look at your cuts, etc.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Starting a New Fight
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
If you LOSE your fight, you can start over after returning to the main
playing screen OR select 'Q' to return to the BBS. There is no current
restriction on how many times you can play, other than the time you have
left on the BBS for that day.
