The boxing game is hilarious! It's hard to believe that people paid top dollar for that kind of thing and thought it was realistic.
In the same way that people never confused Pong with a real game of Ping-Pong, I doubt that people ever thought that Boxing was realistic. At some point people did think that it was fun... though I'm not sure how. This past summer I played Boxing on the APF, and it is surely the worst game on the system. Still, it was the game that we played the most because, well, it's FUNNY. You can't help but smile at this game. I actually have a hard time making fun of it. It's just SO pathetic that my fatherly instincts kick in and I want to protect it. Poor, poor APF Boxing...
