Remarks:
Much noise was made when it turned out that Code Masters' "NEW release" Pro Boxing Simulator was in fact By Fair Means...or Foul with only a changed opening screen and different packaging.
Their explanation for this fiasco was that it really was a new release: for them to be exact.
Code Masters ultimately decided to reissue their version with an appropriate notice on the inlay and to give the money back to everyone who bought the game expecting to get something new.
