Description
Ring King, known as King of Boxer in Japan and Europe, is an
arcade boxing game. It was published in 1985 by Woodplace in
Japan and Europe, and by Data East in North America.
The game continues the series' theme of comical sports as the
player takes the role of a boxer who makes his way from his debut
to become a world champion. Ring King, though perhaps
unintentionally, is standard of the boxing creations of its era, via
providing quirky monikers for opponents the player encounters; in
its arcade release, these number eight (8): Violence Jo (this entry
level fighter is the champion, in the NES version), Brown Pants,
White Wolf, Bomba Vern, Beat Brown, Blue Warker (reigning
champion, in the arcade version), Green Hante and Onetta Yank.
Assuming the player wins the championship, arcade play continues
cycling through only the last of the afore-listed three (Blue Warker,
Green Hante, Onetta Yank).
