The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the opening bout of the Scott Bullerwell Invitational!
LET’S GET READY TO RRRRRRRRRRRRUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!
Ali stuns Valuev with a flurry of punches, and Mills Lane stops the fight at 2:49 of the first round. TKO awarded to Muhammad Ali.
By far the quickest fight I’ve ever played. By extension, the shortest replay game I’ve ever played. Wow.
Next up:
George Foreman vs. Evander Holyfield.
Stay tuned!
I’m not sure what caused my current interest in my boxing games.
That said, I think I’ll be focusing again on Title Bout II and Glory Days Boxing.
DICE Boxing will be played if I ever get more than half of the boxers printed out (print-and-play game). Same goes for Diggin’ Deep Boxing and Main Event Boxing.
I should go through the original Title Bout game that I won from eBay.
I may or may not get a printed version of Legends of Boxing.
Stay tuned!
While going through the rule book for the new boxing game, they used Muhammad Ali and Jack Dempsey for all the examples
So I decided to play my first fight with them.
I’m going to do 10 round fights from here on out, instead of the 15 round bouts that I ran in Title Bout II.
Results:
Scoring is a bit more extensive in this new game, though I think I can use the three judge system in Title Bout II as well. Here you can roll on optional charts to get a referee and judges for your fight. Judges can affect a fight through scoring, as can the ref by their biases toward the fighters themselves.
I did miss some cut/swelling checks in the earlier rounds, though Ali received swelling on his right eye about halfway into the fight. I think that woke him up and he outscored Dempsey for the rest of the contest.
Unanimous decision: Muhammad Ali defeats Jack Dempsey.
Verdict: I like this game.
Though I’ll still play Title Bout II for the other weight classes that Glory Days doesn’t have.
And perhaps I’ll dabble in DICE Boxing, if I ever get around to printing out the boxers from even more weight classes.
Stay tuned!
Since I’m more than likely going to conclude my Title Bout II Heavyweight tournament this week, here’s a peek at the next Heavyweight tournament using the Glory Days Boxing game.
I’m calling this one the Scott Bullerwell Heavyweight Invitational, since I asked and he came up with all of the match ups.
Scott’s pre-tournament analysis is as follows:
Muhammad Ali v Nikolay Valuev — classic v. modern
Shannon Briggs v John Ruiz — gutsy B-listers
Jack Dempsey v Tyson Fury — legend vs. hype
Buster Douglas v Andrew Golota — power-puncher B-listers, another match that should have happened but never did
George Foreman v Evander Holyfield — legend v. legend
Joe Frazier v Leon Spinks — legend v. legend that somehow never met in the ring
Wladimir Klitschko v Lennox Lewis — some say Lewis retired to avoid this fight
David Tua v Mike Tyson — very similar fighters with great technique and absurd power
This tournament will begin as soon as I finish the current one.
Stay tuned!
