An expansion package for either the floppy or CD versions of Aces of the Deep adds brand new missions, areas and a special prototype XXIU-boat submarine.

Also included are boyancy guages which allows a quicker reading of your depth in the ocean. Most amazingly is the prototype Type XXI U-boat, which includes sonar and radar abilities as well as two kinds of torpedo types for it’s exclusive use.

ABC Wide World of Sports Boxing (1991)

ABC Wide World of Sports Boxing

Data East Corporation

Players start by building a pugilist from the ground up including measurements, vital statistics, and fighting style. Next they take him into the ring on a quest for the title belt. What makes Wide World of Sports Boxing more than just an arcade fighting game is that it encompasses every aspect of the fighter’s career beyond the actual bouts (which the player can control directly or leave to the computer). Between fights, players must hire managers and trainers, purchase equipment, scout opponents, and even learn the scoring preferences of individual judges. Being fast on the uppercut does no good if your manager blows all your money or can’t get you a fight that will raise your ranking.
