I would have, in all likelyhood, missed the thread had it been posted in the general discussion area. If I glance at the general discussion area more than twice a month that would be a lot for me. I very rarely visit there and post there even less often. The only threads there that catch my eye involve other sports sims. There was another thread that involved negro league history and source materials that I was able to respond to because it is among my historical interests. 98% of the time I spend with these forums is here in the boxing area.
I have an interest in any boxing game going back to Frankie Goodman's Championship fight Game and Rocky Graziano Presents a Century of Great Fights--Two real old board games. (One strategic and one sim).
In the pre-PC era I played Title Bout, Data Boxing, as well as Championship Boxing. My favorite has always been Title bout in any of its incarnations. Never got the hang of Data boxing rules. As an old APBA table gamer Campionship Boxing 's dice and chart combo had a homey feel for me. I pretty much wore out the game boards on APBA boxing. I had some customer service issues with Championship Boxing that I won't go into here that turned me off of the product despite its playability. I feel nostalgic about these board games but don't play them at all any more because the scope of Title Bout is so much wider. Never explored any other PC based sims, like the Lamborne games version of championshp boxing. Given the quality of Title Bout and the time I've logged with this game I haven't really wanted to.
