Developer: Alex DeMeo

Alex DeMeo programmed RealSports Boxing, which Atari Corporation released in December 1987. It was one of the few RealSports games made after Jack Tramiel took over Atari, and Atari’s first boxing game for a home system, written from scratch. You choose one of four boxers, each with a weak spot, and fight up to seven rounds. DeMeo later reused its program as the basis for Title Match Pro Wrestling.

RealSports Boxing

RealSports Boxing is a side-view boxing game for the Atari 2600, programmed by Alex DeMeo and released by Atari Corporation in 1987. You pick one of four boxers, each with his own weak spot, and fight up to seven timed rounds against the computer or a friend. Your fighter can move up and down as well as left and right, and knowing where to stand is as important as which punch to throw. You can play it here in your browser.
