Hello, my name is Jim Trunzo and I'm the co-designer of Title Bout/Title Fight. I would like to start out by stating how happy we are to be coming part of the .400 family.

We believe that our boxing simulation can now reach its full potential. Without a doubt, some of the blame resides with us for not delivering on all that we envisioned; however, while it may appear like whining, the truth is we have been at the mercy of an apathetic and out of reach programmer.

We are looking at this joint venture with .400 Software Studios as both a first and last chance: a first chance to have true professionals make our boxing simulation the game we've always wanted it to be and a last chance to prove that we can, when working with the right people, do it.

The comments and criticisms have been both fair and, for the most part, accurate; and we are paying close attention to the needs and wants of our customers, both old and hopefully new.

Our goal is to keep the boxing simulation as accurate as it can be, with a much more intuitive interface, while adding a more interactive layer that encompasses a role-playing, managerial, financial model for those who enjoy those areas. The emphasis will remain on the statistical replay aspect because the boxing simulation will be, first and foremost, always that - the most accurate replay sim available.

So welcome to the new era of Title Bout/Fight or whatever we decide to call it.

Thank you for your past support, keep the suggestions coming and we look forward to a strong relationship with .400 Software Studios and their fans for years to come.
