First demo!

Hi all - just wanted to flag up that I've posted a demo. This is a "spectator-only experience" to demonstrate how a boxer's attributes (Strength, Stamina and Skill) affect the way he fights and his prospects in the ring.
Nothing's finalised yet but I'm generally pleased with progress.
Apart from the boxers I've used AI art. Apologies if this offends you - in some ways it offends me (!) but at the moment it's really convenient. The images might end up being just placeholders if I can find a good artist to do them humanly.
The next major steps will be to start making it into a game - adding in the strategy elements like training, hiring and firing staff, choosing opponents, running a gym. All of these things were in the original game back in the 80s - can't believe I managed to get so much into a Spectrum BASIC game!
Please let me know what you think - there's a discussion forum just waiting for some threads. I haven't even tried to add any structure to it yet but I will if people want to get involved.
