*************** * FACE PUNCH! * * DELUXE * *************** By N.D.Scheltema (RED ZEBRA) for WOOT! 2023. A simple best-of-5-rounds boxing game (now slightly less crap) for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K (and compatibles). Default keyboard controls (redefinable) --------------------------------------- Q - GUARD UP A - GUARD DOWN O - MOVE LEFT P - MOVE RIGHT W - PUNCH! How to play ----------- MOVE LEFT and MOVE RIGHT in and out of PUNCHING range. GUARD UP to protect your face and to be in position to PUNCH at your opponent's face. GUARD DOWN to protect your chest and to be in position to PUNCH at your opponent's chest. ENDURANCE: how many PUNCHES you can take until you are knocked out! A PUNCH to the face is worse than the chest! STAMINA: used up with each PUNCH, but regenerates over time. Don't get too tired to punch, conserve your strength for openings! DEFENCE: your GUARD UP takes strain with every PUNCH it blocks, leaving your face wide open if it runs out before regenerating! Each round lasts until someone is KNOCKED OUT or the time rights out. In the event of a TIME OUT, whoever has the most ENDURANCE remaining wins the round (a DRAW is possible). Two-players ----------- Requires the use of at least one joystick (unless you're willing to awkwardly share the keyboard with Cursor keys and 0). Kempston, Sinclair and Cursor joystick interfaces are supported (but not always all at once). No punching opponents in real life!
