Object The object of the game is to defeat eight boxers in succession in pursuit of the Heavyweight Championship of the World. Fighting styles of each of the boxers are different, each one more intelligent than the last. To defeat an opponent, 'Bruno' must achieve a 'Knock Out' by knocking him down three times during a single three minute round. To do this, Bruno must reduce his opponent's 'Status' to zero, by avoiding the blows made by the opponent and punching the opponent when his body or head is unprotected. By making repeated successful blows, Bruno's Punch Power increases. The KO indicator flashes when 100% punch power is achieved, this allows you to use the Right Hook/Uppercut. The game screen is divided in two, the top half is the score and information board, the bottom half is a perspective view of the ring. If you win the bout! If you win the bout then you are issued with your own personal 'Elite Video Boxing Association' Membership Code. You will notice in the inlay that we have provided you with a EVBA Membership card for your own use. Write the code in pencil, alongside the name of the next boxer. So if you have just beaten the first boxer, write the code in the space next to 'Fling Long Chop'. You may use the code to load the next boxer off tape/disc now, or at a later date. To load a boxer: 1. Ensure the cassette/disc is on side B. 2. Press L on the options page. 3. Enter your three letter name. 4. Enter your Membership Code (just press ENTER without typing anything if you wish to load the first boxer back in). 5. Press PLAY on the cassette player. The program will tell you what boxer it has found on the tape. If it finds a boxer that comes before the one it is searching for, then you should fast forward the tape a little bit. Conversely, if it finds a boxer that comes after the one it is searching for, then you should rewind the tape a little bit. Your membership code is valid for all versions of Frank Bruno's Boxing provided it is used with the same three letter name that you have used. If you lose the bout! You can reboot the current boxer whether you have won, lost or just loaded the game. Press R on the options page to do this.
