The History of Boxing Manager
From designer Ian Williams:
This game is a slightly delayed sequel to 'Boxing Manager', which I wrote in the mid-1980s for the Spectrum 48K. You can still play it on an emulator.
This sequel retains many of the features of the original game but I've added more interaction during the matches, plus more gyms, the Shop, more choice of opponents, a refined Popularity system, full ranking table and entrance music. I also have plans for a 'Downtown' expansion, which will add ciminal elements like bribes, dives, illegal tonics and dodgy bets. Cushti.
