About Boxing Legends of the Ring
Boxing Legends of the Ring is a boxing game, developed by Sculptured Software and published by Electro Brain. During fights, it is possible to keep track of the participating boxers' wellbeing by observing the small portraits of the fighters' faces at the top of the screen. As the fighters receive punishment, these portraits show injuries such as cuts and bruises, the severity of which indicate the fighter's health (or lack of). There is also a boxing glove shaped meter at the top of the screen, that indicates how much power a boxer has left in his punches (as in a real fight, the more punches boxers throw, the more tired they become, resulting in weaker punches). The fighters movement about the ring is limited to side-stepping left or right; it is impossible to step back or forward. A variety of punches can be thrown; left jabs, crosses to the head, hooks to the body, and uppercuts to the head (all punches except jabs can be thrown with either hand). It is also possible to throw a limited number of so-called 'super punches', that are essentially either a right cross or a right uppercut, but with extra power. At the start of each round, each boxer is capable of throwing one super-punch at any time, although it becomes possible to throw one more with each knockdown they score against their opponent. Defensive techniques consist of blocking, dodging, and clinching. Each boxer has three attributes: 'power', 'stamina', and 'chin'. A special version was released in Mexico and the American Southwest called Chavez II; the game exchanged the English language words for Spanish and omitted some vocals.

A decent Genesis boxer built around eight middleweight greats, and a cheap cart.
Boxing Legends of the Ring was developed by Sculptured Software and published by Electro Brain, reaching North America in October 1993. It takes its name from The Ring magazine, and the fighters are Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, James Toney, Marvin Hagler, Jake LaMotta, Sugar Ray Robinson and Rocky Graziano. The 2D sprites are seen from over the shoulder of one of the fighters, and the North American fights take place at the Las Vegas Hilton with HBO banners around the ring.
Game Players said it packed a punch for boxing fans and novices alike, with huge characters. It also came out on the Super NES.
What the press said at the time
“While it doesn’t break any new ground, Legends is a solid game on either platform and worth a look”
“Eight of the best boxers fight it out in this cart, which features huge characters and a first-person perspective. It packs a punch for boxing fans and novices alike.”
“A well put-together fisticuffs package with big sprites and plenty of guts. Just lacks that killer instinct and flashy style.”
Also on other platforms
Super NES
- Super NES. The Super NES release was reviewed under the title Chavez II; Super Gamer scored it 81%, praising its huge character graphics and bone-crunching action, though it found the gameplay somewhat limited.
Before you buy
It is a cheap US cart, below the middle of the group. A complete copy means the case, cartridge and manual. Check that the listing says Genesis, since the Super NES version shares the title.
