The only reason I have this game is because a friend gave it to me for free, otherwise it wouldn't stand a chance. Nothing but frustration comes from me when I play it, which usually ends up with a damaged controller or a scratch a my TV, which can be eliminated if you just do your self a favor and don't play this game. If you play this game more than twice, power to you. Also, for some odd reason, the wrestlers turn such a wonderful shade a pink after being constantly battered and beaten. Each wrestler does look different, if that's what you're worried about. Hulk Hogans' picture on the start-up screen is even blotched, so do you expect anything good? Where there's supposed to be the fans a big, black, blah looking wall represents them horribly. Using the mute function on your remote is not a bad idea while playing this game.Īgggh. There's beeps when you kick and blips when you punch. Although the opening theme which happens to be Hulk Hogan's theme song, ''Real American'', is marginal at best, don't be fooled. None other than Nintendos' famous beep and blip noises. All you do is pick a wrestler and try to advance him to be the champion of the tournament. Wait, is there one? It could have fooled me. All of these facts put together makes this game sink to the bottom of the sea in the gameplay department. Your selection of wrestlers is limited to six, making it even less fun. There's only about three things you can do: run, punch, and kick. If you're not exactly lined up with the other wrestler you can't hit him.

Another thing is that I've been having this game for all I can remember and I still can't figure out how to pin someone, thus making this game extremely hard to be good at. There is basically no fun factor, unless you enjoy watching mindless drones running across the screen like a chicken with it's head cut off. Even if this game was made in 1985, it should have been a lot more fun. OMG, Hogan is on the cover!! Oh wait, this game blows! Go ahead and pick one up if you're an eighties wrestling fanatic, you won't be too disappointed. The best thing is it costs next to nothing on ebay these days, a buck or two at most. Overall, you can't go wrong with this game for your NES. Now I'll admit, there were other games that were maybe a little more fun- Tecmo World Wrestling and Tag Team Wrestling come to mind, but COME ON, this one had the names! Hulk Hogan, Randy Macho Man Savage, Andre the Giant, Honky Tonk Man, Ted Million $ Man DiBiase, and Bam Bam Bigelow were all here! The only guy missing in my opinion was King Kong Bundy. Instead, they need to be confining there commentary to other games of the same era. The problem with these other reviews is these guys are comparing this game to like every wrestling game ever made. You'll see other eviews on here talking about how terrible this game is, or how difficult to control. So when I heard that there was going to be a wrestling game made for my beloved NES that featured real fake wrestlers, I HAD TO HAVE IT. When I was a kid in the eighties, wrestling was HUUUUUGGGEEE! We're talking pre internet here folks, people were mush more easily amused, especially 8-year old people. As 8-bit wrestling games go, this one's pretty cool.
