                           THAI BOXING

Typed in by ???. Edited by PARASITE.


Thai Boxing combines the lightning-fast movement of karate with the brute
strength of boxing. In this sport there is only one aim, to inflict as
much punishment as possible in the shortest amount of time.
The face of your boxer will show the punishment he receives at the hands
of his opponent. The cuts, bruises, and the bloody nose as the knock-out
punch lands are all shown in excruciating detail.

There are six levels of play and each level gets progressively more
difficult. You can only get to the next level by reducing your opponent's
stamina to zero. If you defeat your opponent before the counter reaches
zero, bonus points will be added to your score. Each level consists of
three rounds, each lasting one minute.
Stamina is displayed by the two colored bars at the top of the screen,
one for each player.
Each kick or punch landed causes a reduction of stamina. It is a good idea
to move back if you are under a sustained attack, in order to recoup some
of your lost stamina.
However, be careful that your opponent does not use this opportunity to
deliver a deadly flying kick.
