Synopsis

Foes of Ali is a 3D boxing game with ten different boxers to choose from: George Chuvalo, Henry Cooper, Jimmy Ellis, Bob Foster, Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston, Ken Norton, Leon Spinks, Chuck Wepner and of course the game's namesake Muhammad Ali.

There are three modes to choose from: Exhibition where the player can choose any boxer to fight another, or the player can choose any of Ali's historical fights, Tournament where a player fights a series of boxers in an 8-man tournament tree to become champion, and Career Mode, where the player can only play as Muhammed Ali and fight the other boxers in order like he did in real life.

Players fight their opponents with the basic moves of punches, jabs, uppercuts and hooks as well as defensive moves like blocking and grabbing. Fatigue is not simulated, but players can slow down their opponents after a series of successful big hits accompanied by bruises, blood and black eyes.

There are 21 different camera views to choose from, including which person will react first when their fighters are hit (for example, if a player keeps getting hit in the eyes, the screen will start to blacken, simulating a swollen eye and if they take a punch hard enough, they will see the game through double vision). Championship photos of each boxer are also shown before a fight and commentary is provided by Tim Gammon.
