1986 Beyond Software (UK)
by Steve Cain and Simon Butler

I always loved this game, but I have to agree it look a bit obsolete nowadays.
Basically it is a futuristic mix of Squash and Boxing (yes, play it) with two medieval characters as players, although the cover displays a different set of uniforms.
The graphics are the usual Denton Design standard, which means they are always good and well animated.
It can be quite challenging and fun once you get used to the controls. A feature I always wanted to see in it was the inclusion of a few more different players and a sort of league were to compete.

Poor, shallow and repetitive game which looks like it was lifted from a multi-event title à la World Games. Unfortunately the action is too bland to let your attention stick to it for more than 10 minutes or so. Denton Design's worst game in my opinion; it does not retain any of the usual charm and quirkyness of their titles.

I remember playing this back in the day and it didn't make any sense, and now playing this 30 years later it still doesn't make much sense.
