Gameplay[edit]
Gameplay screenshot
Boxing shows a top-down view of two boxers, one white and one black. When close enough, a boxer can hit his opponent with a punch (executed by pressing the fire button on the Atari joystick). This causes his opponent to reel back slightly. Long punches score one point, while closer punches (power punches, from the manual) score two. There are no knockdowns or rounds. A match is completed either when one player lands 100 punches (a 'knockout') or two minutes have elapsed (a 'decision'). In the case of a decision, the player with the most landed punches is the winner. Ties are possible.
While the gameplay is simple, there are subtleties, such as getting an opponent on the 'ropes' and 'juggling' him back and forth between alternate punches.
Reception[edit]

Boxing was reviewed by Video magazine in its 'Arcade Alley' column where it was described as 'demonstrat[ing] Activision's willingness to strike out boldly in new directions' and praised for keeping things from 'becoming needlessly complex' by making automatic punch-type selection for the player.[4]
Legacy[edit]
Boxing was made available on Microsoft'sGame Room service for its Xbox 360 console and for Windows-basedPCs on September 1, 2010.
In 2011, an extended academic version of the game, called Clever Boxer, was developed as a benchmark for Game AI.[5]
The game made an appearance in an Season 8 episode of The Walking Dead, where Eugene was shown playing it just before the power went out.
