BODY BLOWS was originally released by Team 17 in 1993. Around the time of the Amiga version of STREET FIGHTER 2, Amiga specialists Team 17 came up with a similar one on one beat 'em up, designed around the machine's strengths and weaknesses.
In one-player mode you have four characters to choose from - brothers Dan and Nik play identically, Lo-Ray is a Buddhist Monk, and Junior a failed boxer.
The opponents include a Ninja warrior, a businessman whose post-fight catchphrase is 'I'm sorry about that', and a thin Spanish girl. The backdrops feature lots of color and animation, varying from wrestling rings to building sites and beaches.
The control is designed around one-button controllers, with special moves generated by pushing in a certain direction and pressing fire, and one 'super special' move by holding fire for a few seconds. The real skill is in combining these moves effectively. This is a later General Admission re-release.

LIMITED WARRANTY:
Floppy disks (both 5.25" and 3.5") have a guaranteed working life of 10 years, and all the games I sell are older than that. Therefore I DO NOT GUARANTEE that these Floppies still operate due to their age, and previous owner's use and abuse, and due to a large variety of old (and new) Floppy drives which might not read the Floppy in question. Hence no games will be refunded on the grounds that you cannot read the Floppy. Nevertheless, if you have problems with reading the floppies - contact me for help.
HOWEVER:
I CANNOT AND I DON'T GUARANTEE THAT THIS PARTICULAR GAME WILL PLAY ON YOUR PARTICULAR PC SYSTEM! Due to numerous incompatibility issues between modern versions of Windows and older versions of Windows and especially MS-DOS, to make the game play is your own responsibility! Theoretically it is possible to play any game IF:
-
Your system is exactly like the one specified in the game's SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS, or
-
You are experienced enough in tweaking various systems settings, creating boot disks, using helpful utilities which emulate DOS/old Windows environment, etc.
If you disagree with this policy DO NOT BID! Or send me e-mail with your questions BEFORE YOU BID! NO GAMES WILL BE REFUNDED DUE TO SYSTEM INCOMPATIBILITIES!
