Boxing with Barry McGuigan & Frank Bruno C64 | Brothers In Arms Ep 9

Brothers Stephen and Anthony play C64 boxing classics - Barry McGuigan World Championship Boxing (Gamestar / Activision / Mastertronic 1985) & Frank Bruno's Boxing (Elite 1985). Along the way they listen to the Rockford Files hold music, spot Cybermen in the crowd, take six punches to the face in a row, discuss why Rocky I, II and III are so great, wish a happy robot birthday to Paulie in Rocky IV, find out the audience is ecstatic, get paid $295k to get punched in the face, finally remember who John Cutter is, fight the Canadian Crusher and frighten themselves remembering the faceless villain "The Shape" from Sapphire & Steel.

Stephen and Anthony Caulfield were 6 and 10 years old when they got their hands on a Commodore 64, thanks to their dad briefly working for Music Sales, a company tasked with producing music software for the machine in the 1980's.

The 'Brothers in Arms' series sees Stephen and Anthony playing a collection of C64 games they (attempted) to play as kids to see if they can do any better as adults.
