Boxing Bugs, despite being a silly idea with terrifyingly lame intermission
screens, is actually a reasonably fun game to play. It's also hard as
hell, even with a proper controller -- I can't imagine playing one with the
mouse. The cannon/boxing glove aiming duality was just a little too cosmic
for me to get over about 60K or so.

I'm glad the ROM dump was finally of some use >:^)
