Get in the ring: ANACONDA announces Boxing Manager

Hamburg, Germany: August 17, 2006 - Boxing fans rejoice: ANACONDA will publish the Boxing Manager, a management simulation all about the "sweet science".

The Boxing Manager sees players take control of their own stable of boxers. The aim: taking your prize fighters all the way to the top and win world championship belts of all three federations. Starting out with a small team and three unknown, talented fighters, managers will train the boxers, sign on new up-and-comers and expert staff from around the world, set up bouts and determine tactics and techniques before and during the events. As the game progresses, players will be able to train manage up to 30 fighters at the same time - only if they are successful and form talented amateurs into hardened professionals will they be able to earn coveted titles in all the well-known weight classes.

Of course, managers will always have to have an eye on their finances: does he have the funds to take on better staff in order to improve training? Can he promote his boxing events with TV ads, drawing crowds and earning big bucks, or will he have to make do with a small note in the local papers?

The slick menus, realistic 3D bouts and faithful, motion-captured animations guarantee for authentic boxing atmosphere throughout.

In addition, the Boxing Manager's in-game editor allows you to create new fighters and individually determine their looks, as well as their strengths and weaknesses.

The Boxing Manager is being developed by Proline Software. ANACONDA will publish the management sim worldwide, with a November 2006 release date.
