Ep 52 | Boxing through the ages: Ronnie Wyatt depicts decades of sweet science in his Pro Boxing Universe Dice Game
Longtime gamer Ronnie Wyatt, inspired by first by PC boxing games Lance Haffner TKO and Title Bout II, and later by Roberto Chiavini’s complete Olympics boxing set and his more recent Noble Arts boxing game, has created a new contender in the boxing game realm.
As Wyatt played Chiavini’s game, he wanted to add more “meat to the bone." He remembered that Anthony Crooks, creator of Glory Days Boxing and fellow member of the Title Bout computer championship game forum, created a series of pre-match charts for injuries and outside-the-ring events. Ronnie thought of adding such mechanics to Chiavini’s game and crafted a set of home brew charts. “The more homebrews I had … I realized i wasn’t playing the (same) game any more.”
Interviewed July 29, 2022, Wyatt discussed the finer points of his new project, called Fictional Boxing Universe before he rebranded it in September to Pro Boxing Universe Dice Game. PBU tackles multiple historic eras of the sweet science. On Nov. 20, he launched the PBU website, where users can access game files and try their hand at anything from bareknuckle or Marquess of Queensbury rules to the present day.
