Ever dreamed of managing your own team of homeless street fighters? Well now you can!!
Hobo Boxing from MrCeri makes that dream come true. This game allows you to
recruit an elite squad of combat-hungry hobos, to plan their daily training
schedules, and ultimately enter them into big money prize fights. These fights
are no-holds barred, and your management skills will be tested to the limit -
can you cope with injuries, drug overdoses, greedy hobos and freak steamroller
accidents!?
Well let's find out!
In Hobo Boxing you have just 8 weeks to make as much money as possible, and the
best hobo managers out there will have their high-scores saved for posterity in
the Hobo Boxing Hi-Score Table.
Good Luck!!!

INSTALLATION
Will Hobo Boxing install anything on my PC, or add/change registry settings?
Hobo Boxing installs nothing on your PC, nor does it add/change any registry
settings (previous versions did, but not the latest version. Mail me if you'd
like more details).
How do I remove/un-install Hobo Boxing?
There's no need, as Hobo Boxing never gets installed as such on your PC. To
remove it, simply delete the HoboBoxing.exe file.
Is there a version of Hobo Boxing for the Apple Mac?
Nope.
How much does Hobo Boxing cost?
Hobo Boxing is totally free.
GAMEPLAY
Why can't I visit both the Homeless Shelter and the Railway Track during the
course of one night?
Unfortunately the Homeless Shelter, Railway Track and Dog Racing Track are all
on opposite sides of town, so there's only time to visit one location in an
evening...
It takes too long to finish all 8 weeks. Can I save my game and finish later?
Nope, afraid not. In previous versions this was possible, but in the latest
version this was removed to stop people from cheating on the hi-score table.
How much does it cost to send my hobos to the gym, put them in rehab, etc.?
You can find out the costs of the various hobo activities by selecting
"Summary" from the View menu.
The hi-scores facility is currently out of action.
Sorry about that.
