Reach
Reach for the top of the rankings in a bold new era of boxing! The "Boxing Entertainment Commission" has shunned mundane sport in favour of exciting action - and you're cordially invited to join the fun. Create your own prize fighter from scratch and immerse yourself in gaming's most involving boxing universe - featuring up to 100 characters spread across 3 weight classes. Here, what happens in the ring is merely the first round - as you proceed backstage to manage your business affairs and plot your next career move! Negotiate lucrative contracts with the suits and then arrange matches with the talent - filling up your weekly schedule with spectacular pay-per-view bouts and history-making tournaments. Along the way, you'll transform your body to survive in the ring and adjust your attitude to survive backstage. With so many balls in the air, the only question is will your Reach exceed your grasp?
Requires a PC compatible with DirectX graphics. 1.6gHz processor recommended. Vista users may experience difficulties on "limited accounts" and are advised to run the program as an "administrator"...

Version
1.95 Update
(1mb)
Click to download a patch that
allows the boxed game to benefit from the very latest modifications. Further to
the behind-the-scenes inconsistencies that were resolved in earlier versions,
the latest updates set about improving your boxing experience by making clinches
easier to initiate and managers less intrusive. They
even make press conferences less repetitive by adding a greater variety of
responses! We also address a few tiny inconsistencies that were affecting a
boxer's in-ring health and injury status. And v1.9 catches a potentially
troublesome bug that causes the game to crash upon changing resolutions, and
also takes steps to ensure Tournaments pan out properly when you ask to control
every match. Simply replace the boxed game's executable
with the one in this zip file and read the accompanying "Version History"
text
document for the full story...
