STARTING A GAME
|
|||
|
|
---------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WHEN YOU BOOT THE RINGSIDE SEAT DISK YOU WILL BE GIVEN THE FOLLOWING
|
|||
|
|
OPTIONS:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(P) PLAY A GAME (E) ENTER/REVISE/LIST FIGHTER DATA (I) INITIALIZE A
|
|||
|
|
DISK FOR SAVING FIGHTERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SELECTING OPTION P WILL FIRST PROMPT YOU FOR THE MODE OF PLAY. YOU MAY
|
|||
|
|
HAVE THE COMPUTER MANAGE EITHER, NEITHER OR BOTH BOXERS. APPLE OWNER
|
|||
|
|
MAY CHOOSE EITHER THE KEYBOARD OR PADDLE INPUTS. IF YOU HAVE SELECTED
|
|||
|
|
ANY OTHER ITEM THAN DEMO MODE THE COMPUTER WILL NEXT ASK YOU TO ENTER
|
|||
|
|
THE NAME-DIVISION OF THE TWO CONTESTANTS (THE NAME AND DIVISION FOR
|
|||
|
|
EACH FIGHTER CAN BE FOUND BY USING OPTION E). THE DIVISION IS A
|
|||
|
|
TWO-LETTER CODE REPRESENTING THE WEIGHT CLASS OF THE FIGHTER. BE SURE
|
|||
|
|
TO SEPARATE THE NAME AND DIVISION OF EACH FIGHTER WITH A DASH (-).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
AS AN EXAMPLE YOU MIGHT ENTER LOUIS-HW. AFTER YOU HAVE SELECTED THE
|
|||
|
|
TWO FIGHTERS YOU WILL BE ASKED TO ENTER THE NUMBER OF ROUNDS YOU WISH
|
|||
|
|
FOR THE CURRENT FIGHT. ENTER A NUMBER BETWEEN 3 AND 15 INCLUSIVE.
|
|||
|
|
SHOULD EITHER FIGHTER HAVE THE ABILITY TO FIGHT AS EITHER A BOXER OR
|
|||
|
|
SLUGGER, YOU WILL BE PROMPTED FOR THE STYLE YOU WISH THE FIGHTER TO
|
|||
|
|
USE DURING THIS FIGHT (ONCE A STYLE IS SELECTED IT CANNOT BE ALTERED
|
|||
|
|
DURING THE FIGHT). YOU WILL THEN BE ASKED IF YOU PREFER TO HAVE THE
|
|||
|
|
CUMULATIVE JUDGES' SCORES DISPLAYED WHILE THE FIGHT IS IN PROGRESS
|
|||
|
|
(EITHER WAY THE JUDGES' ROUND BY ROUND SCORES WILL BE GIVEN UPON THE
|
|||
|
|
CONCLUSION OF THE FIGHT).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PLAYING THE GAME
|
|||
|
|
----------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IN THE GAME, BOTH MANAGERS SELECT THEIR FIGHTER'S STRATEGY EACH
|
|||
|
|
ROUND. ONCE A STRATEGY FOR A ROUND IS SELECTED, THAT STRATEGY IS
|
|||
|
|
EMPLOYED FOR THE ENTIRE ROUND WITH ONE EXCEPTION:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A FIGHTER MAY OPT TO COVER UP DURING A ROUND IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING
|
|||
|
|
KNOCKED OUT (FOLLOWING A DEVASTATING PUNCH OR A KNOCKDOWN, THE FIGHTER
|
|||
|
|
BEING HIT MAY NOT COVER UP UNTIL THE AGGRESSOR'S "FOLLOWING UP"
|
|||
|
|
SEQUENCE IS COMPLETED). IF YOU WISH TO COVER UP, AND PADDLE CONTROL
|
|||
|
|
HAS BEEN REQUESTED (APPLE ONLY), PUSH THE BUTTON UNTIL THE COVER UP
|
|||
|
|
STRATEGY IS DISPLAYED. IF THE KEYBOARD IS BEING USED, PRESSING THE "Z"
|
|||
|
|
FOR FIGHTER #1 OR THE "/" FOR FIGHTER #2 WILL CAUSE THE FIGHTER TO
|
|||
|
|
COVER UP.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ONCE BOTH MANAGERS HAVE SELECTED THE STRATEGY FOR THEIR FIGHTER, THE
|
|||
|
|
ROUND BELL WILL RING AND THE TWO FIGHTERS WILL APPROACH RING CENTER.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE DISPLAY
|
|||
|
|
-----------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN WHILE THE FIGHT IS IN PROGRESS ARE THE
|
|||
|
|
FIGHTERS' NAMES, THE ROUND CLOCK, THE STRATEGY OF EACH FIGHTER, THE
|
|||
|
|
ROUND NUMBER, THE CUMULATIVE JUDGES' SCORES IF SELECTED, THE
|
|||
|
|
PERCENTAGE OF STAMINA REMAINING, AND A REPRESENTATION OF THE BOXING
|
|||
|
|
RING. THE TOP OF THE SCREEN IS USED TO ANNOUNCE THE BEGINNING OF EACH
|
|||
|
|
ROUND, AND ALSO TO DESCRIBE ANY RING MOVEMENT OF THE FIGHTERS. THE
|
|||
|
|
BOTTOM HALF IS USED FOR COLOR COMMENTARY AND A DESCRIPTION OF THE
|
|||
|
|
BLOW-BY-BLOW ACTION TAKING PLACE IN THE RING.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE SCORING SECTION, BASED ON THE "10 POINT MUST" SCORING SYSTEM,
|
|||
|
|
SHOWS THE CUMULATIVE ROUND-BY-ROUND SCORES BY JUDGE 1 (J1), JUDGE 2
|
|||
|
|
(J2), AND JUDGE 3 (J3). THE CUT, INJURY AND CONDITION SECTION SHOWS
|
|||
|
|
ANY CUTS, INJURIES OR OTHER CONDITIONS SUSTAINED BY THE FIGHTERS
|
|||
|
|
DURING THE FIGHT. THE BOXING RING DISPLAY PROVIDES A VISUAL INDICATION
|
|||
|
|
OF THE POSITION OF THE FIGHTERS THROUGHOUT THE FIGHT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DISPLAYED ABOVE EACH FIGHTER'S NAME BEFORE THE BOUT BEGINS ARE TWO
|
|||
|
|
NUMBERS (e.g. 2/1). THE FIRST NUMBER INDICATES HIS ABILITY VS A BOXER
|
|||
|
|
AND THE SECOND NUMBER INDICATES HIS ABILITY VS A SLUGGER.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE STRATEGY SELECTION INPUTS FOR EACH FIGHTER WILL APPEAR AT THE
|
|||
|
|
BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH ROUND. IMMEDIATELY
|
|||
|
|
FOLLOWING EACH STRATEGY IS A NUMBER REPRESENTING HOW WELL A FIGHTER
|
|||
|
|
EMPLOYS THE PARTICULAR STRATEGY (THIS NUMBER MAY BE REDUCED AS STAMINA
|
|||
|
|
IS USED UP, AND A FIGHTER BEGINS TO TIRE). SELECTING A STRATEGY BY
|
|||
|
|
PADDLE IS DONE BY TURNING THE PADDLE KNOB UNTIL THE DESIRED STRATEGY
|
|||
|
|
IS DISPLAYED. PUSHING THE PADDLE BUTTON LOCKS IN THE CHOICE, AND THAT
|
|||
|
|
IS THE STRATEGY USED DURING THAT ROUND. SELECTING A STRATEGY BY
|
|||
|
|
KEYBOARD IS DONE BY TYPING THE NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH THE DESIRED
|
|||
|
|
STRATEGY:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1 - FLAT FOOTED
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2 - COVER UP
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3 - CHARGE IN
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4 - STICK & MOVE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5 - STAY AWAY
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6 - GO FOR KO
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
7 - PROTECT CUTS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PRESSING THE [RETURN] KEY WILL LOCK IN THE CHOICE AS THE DESIRED
|
|||
|
|
STRATEGY FOR THE UPCOMING ROUND.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
STRATEGY ACTIONS
|
|||
|
|
----------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE FOLLOWING IS A DESCRIPTION OF EACH OF THE SEVEN STRATEGIES
|
|||
|
|
AVAILABLE TO EACH FIGHTER EACH ROUND.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1 - FIGHT FLAT FOOTED
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
FIGHT FLAT FOOTED ALLOWS A FIGHTER TO REST DURING A ROUND. HIS
|
|||
|
|
ABILITY TO CONTROL THE FIGHT, HIS AGGRESSIVENESS, AND HIS DEFENSE ALL
|
|||
|
|
SUFFER AND HE BECOMES A MUCH EASIER TARGET WHILE USING THIS STRATEGY.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2 - COVER UP
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
COVER UP IS USUALLY USED AFTER SUSTAINING CONSIDERABLE PUNISHMENT.
|
|||
|
|
THIS IS THE ONLY STRATEGY WHICH MAY BE CHANGED DURING THE ROUND (SEE
|
|||
|
|
PLAYING THE GAME). COVER UP CONSIDERABLY REDUCES THE FIGHTER'S ABILITY
|
|||
|
|
TO LAND A PUNCH AND TO CONTROL THE ACTION. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE THE
|
|||
|
|
OPPONENT'S PUNCHES TO BE PARTIALLY BLOCKED. USE THIS STRATEGY IF YOU
|
|||
|
|
FEAR A KNOCKOUT IS IMMINENT IN THE ROUND, OR IF YOU WANT THE OPPONENT
|
|||
|
|
TO PUNCH HIMSELF OUT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3 - CHARGE IN
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CHARGE IN IS USUALLY USED IN AN ATTEMPT TO INFLICT UNUSUAL
|
|||
|
|
PUNISHMENT, AND SCORE POINTS QUICKLY. THE DEFENSE OF A FIGHTER USING
|
|||
|
|
THIS STRATEGY IS REDUCED, AND THEREFORE MAY MAKE HIM EASIER TO HIT.
|
|||
|
|
ONCE CONTROL OF THE ROUND IS GAINED, HOWEVER, IT IS MORE EASILY
|
|||
|
|
MAINTAINED. USE THIS STRATEGY EARLY IN A FIGHT TO WEAR THE OPPONENT
|
|||
|
|
DOWN. IT IS ALSO SOMETIMES USED IN LATE ROUNDS IN ORDER TO CATCH UP
|
|||
|
|
AND WIN A CLOSE DECISION. A FIGHTER MAY NOT USE THIS STRATEGY IF HE
|
|||
|
|
HAS NO STAMINA REMAINING. THIS STRATEGY MAY NOT BE USED MORE THAN FOUR
|
|||
|
|
ROUNDS IN SUCCESSION. ONCE A DIFFERENT STRATEGY HAS BEEN USED FOR AN
|
|||
|
|
ENTIRE ROUND, YOU MAY AGAIN USE "CHARGE IN" FOUR MORE TIMES IN A ROW.
|
|||
|
|
NOTE THAT USING "COVER UP" WHILE A ROUND IS IN PROGRESS DOES NOT
|
|||
|
|
SATISFY THE CONDITION THAT ALLOWS THE USE OF "CHARGE IN" FOUR MORE
|
|||
|
|
TIMES.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4 - STICK & MOVE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
STICK & MOVE IS USED WHEN TRYING TO MAINTAIN RING GENERALSHIP, WHILE
|
|||
|
|
AT THE SAME TIME AVOIDING THE OPPONENT'S POWER AND REDUCING HIS CHANCE
|
|||
|
|
TO SCORE. THIS ADDED DEFENSE IS ATTAINED AT THE EXPENSE OF PUNCHING
|
|||
|
|
POWER. USE THIS STRATEGY EARLY IN A FIGHT TO AVOID THE OPPONENT'S
|
|||
|
|
POWER WHILE HE IS WELL RESTED, OR AFTER A ROUND IN WHICH YOU SUFFERED
|
|||
|
|
MODERATE PUNISHMENT. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO RECOUP SOME STRENGTH WHILE
|
|||
|
|
NOT LOSING MUCH CONTROL. A FIGHTER MAY NOT USE THIS STRATEGY IF HE HAS
|
|||
|
|
NO STAMINA REMAINING. THIS STRATEGY MAY NOT BE USED MORE THAN FOUR
|
|||
|
|
TIMES IN SUCCESSION (REFER TO "CHARGE IN" FOR RESTRICTIONS REGARDING
|
|||
|
|
THIS RULE).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5 - STAY AWAY
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
STAY AWAY USUALLY IS USED WHEN ULTIMATE DEFENSE OR COUNTER-PUNCHING
|
|||
|
|
IS DESIRED. THIS STRATEGY CAUSES THE FIGHTER'S PUNCHES TO LAND WITH
|
|||
|
|
MUCH LESS STING, BUT IT ALSO REDUCES THE CHANCE OF BEING KNOCKED DOWN.
|
|||
|
|
USE THIS STRATEGY AFTER A PUNISHING ROUND NOT QUITE BAD ENOUGH TO
|
|||
|
|
DICTATE COVERING UP. ALSO USE THIS STRATEGY IN LATE ROUNDS WHEN YOU
|
|||
|
|
ARE WAY AHEAD IN POINTS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6 - GO FOR THE KNOCKOUT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
GOING FOR THE KNOCKOUT IS USED IN AN EFFORT TO GET THE FIGHT OVER
|
|||
|
|
EARLY, OR TO PUT AWAY THE OPPONENT AFTER A GOOD OFFENSIVE ROUND, OR
|
|||
|
|
LATE IN THE FIGHT WHEN NO HOPE IS LEFT FOR A DECISION. THIS STRATEGY,
|
|||
|
|
WHEN USED EARLY, GIVES THE FIGHTER A MUCH GREATER CHANCE TO SCORE.
|
|||
|
|
WHEN USED LATE IN A FIGHT, THE FIGHTER'S CHANCE FOR A KNOCKDOWN IS
|
|||
|
|
SOMEWHAT IMPROVED, WHILE AGAIN INCREASING THE OPPONENT'S CHANCE TO
|
|||
|
|
LAND A PUNCH, AND TO SCORE A KNOCKDOWN OF HIS OWN. USE THIS STRATEGY
|
|||
|
|
EARLY, IF THE FIGHTER HAS A GOOD KNOCKOUT PUNCH RATING, AND LATE TO
|
|||
|
|
TRY TO SALVAGE VICTORY FROM AN OTHERWISE SURE LOSS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
7 - PROTECT CUTS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PROTECT CUTS IS USED WHEN TRYING TO PROTECT CUTS WHICH COULD BE BAD
|
|||
|
|
ENOUGH TO STOP A FIGHT (YOU WILL HAVE TO USE YOUR JUDGEMENT ON WHEN
|
|||
|
|
YOU THINK THEY ARE VERY BAD). THIS STRATEGY CAN ALSO BE USED TO TRY
|
|||
|
|
AND PREVENT CUTS FROM GETTING ANY WORSE. THIS STRATEGY CAUSES HEAD
|
|||
|
|
BLOWS TO BE BLOCKED MORE EASILY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME OPENS UP THE
|
|||
|
|
FIGHTER FOR MORE SHOTS TO THE BODY. YOU WILL ALSO LOSE SOME ABILITY TO
|
|||
|
|
CONTROL THE ACTION IN THE ROUND.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOTES ON STRATEGIES
|
|||
|
|
-------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
REMEMBER THAT AS STAMINA DECREASES, SO DOES THE ABILITY TO UTILIZE
|
|||
|
|
STRATEGIES. SOME STRATEGIES ARE NOT USABLE IF A FIGHTER BECOMES TOO
|
|||
|
|
TIRED. IF THE FIGHTER CAN MANAGE TO REST DURING A ROUND, HE MAY BE
|
|||
|
|
ABLE TO REGAIN SOME STAMINA. IF HE REGAINS ENOUGH, HE MAY ALSO REGAIN
|
|||
|
|
SOME OF HIS ABILITY TO USE HIS STRATEGIES. EMPLOYING A STRATEGY WHEN
|
|||
|
|
THAT STRATEGY RATING IS LESS THAN 2 MAY BE MORE OF A HINDERANCE THAN A
|
|||
|
|
HELP.
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
