Default Fight of the Sumo Hoppers
Hi guys, I feel I have to give you a chance to try out the incredibly fun game called "The Fight of the Sumo Hoppers" (stupid title, eh?)

It is a hilarious stickman fighting game, the keyboard controls could be a bit confusing at first, reconfigure controls to begin with. After a couple of practice sessions, you're ready to be become a sumo-hopper master!

ADDED SHORT GAMEPLAY VIDEO: I managed to capture a glimpse of the gameplay here: (sorry about the bad video quality/color, one of the players are almost invisible..)

Sumo Hoppers:

The only problem with the game is, it's DOS based.
HOWEVER, if you download and run this patch, in the game directory:

http://www.brain.uni-freiburg.de/~kl...00/tppatch.zip

- at least on my win xp system, the game will work.

This is a perfect example of brilliant gameplay without the need for beautiful graphics, sound, etc.

I hope somebody will get the game running, it's definately worth it!

Sounds fun. I'm downloading now. Also welcome to the forums!

Edit: I can't seem to get it working.

You sure you ran the patch like this, in the game directory:

"tppatch sumo.exe"?

If you did, I really can't tell why the game doesn't work.
Works fine here. =/

No worky for me. I ran the patch and tried to understand Dosbox, as well. I couldn't do it. How would you run it in Dosbox?

As other people, it pops up for a second and then goes away. This certainly isn't the first time a program has done that. This also occurs when I run the patch, take note I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

How do you load a file after you mount to a folder in DosBox?

I played it and set the controls, but I found it really hard to actually move my stick guy.

If you're having trouble with DOSBox, download a front-end for it. D-Fend is the best one.

http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/

Oh, and this game will forever be a classic. I don't know why they call it Sumo Hoppers, because this is obviously based on Judo, but without all the rules.
