How to install and play the game. The file you are downloading is a special package created by GamesNostalgia so that you can easily run this DOS game on Windows Vista, 7 and 10, without any additional effort.

All you need to do is uncompress the ZIP or 7z file into your Games folder (e.g. C:OldGames), then open. 4D Sports Boxing DOS Games. 4-D Boxing leaves behind any pretences of being a pure arcade game based on boxing, and aims to recreate the sport in full detail. The graphics engine allows for multiple camera angles and viewpoints, and considerably detailed visuals. These required more advanced hardware than was common at the time, but a stick.
Although the game's training places an emphasis on movement and cover, you'll rarely get a chance to really use those skills. Instead, the single player missions focus on fast pushes into enemy territory, where tactics lose their meaning in a massive push of men and equipment, much of it controlled by the computer. Basically, I found that I could beat almost every mission by letting the computer controlled characters advance ahead of me, while my own men pushed forward putting pressure on specific points. Fun to be sure, but also lacking, as all I had to do was knock out the right enemy strongpoint. For added benefit there's a direct control option, which lets you control the exact movements of a unit, but if you aren't using a vehicle it might as well be useless with terrain blockage and poor weapon accuracy.
