I’m a little more forgiving when it comes to the Acclaim wrestling games. They aren’t great games, but they have a charm that I like. I consider them to be average games on the PS1, N64, and Dreamcast. The Game Boy conversions are a different matter altogether. There was no way the developers could portContinue reading “WWF Attitude on the Game Boy Color is a Good Version of the Game”

ECW Anarchy Rulz on the Dreamcast is Good but Disappointing
ECW Anarchy Rulz is a good game, but it still feels like you’re playing WWF Attitude. Some changes were made to separate this game from the others, but the controls still feel like WWF Warzone, WWF Attitude, and ECW Hardcore Revolution. It looks better than the other Acclaim games but plays the same. The developerContinue reading “ECW Anarchy Rulz on the Dreamcast is Good but Disappointing”
The Not So Hardcore First ECW Game on the PS1
ECW was a unique wrestling company. It wasn’t as big as WWF or WCW, but it greatly influenced those two promotions. I didn’t know much about them in the late 90s, and I had the misfortune of being introduced to them through the Invasion Storyline in the WWF. Every once in a while, I wouldContinue reading “The Not So Hardcore First ECW Game on the PS1”
WWF In Your House is a Good Arcade Wrestling Game
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up In Your House on the PS1/PSX. Aside from being a WWF wrestling game, I knew nothing about the game. I think I was expecting something else, but I wasn’t disappointed with what the game had to offer. This game plays like a sequel to theContinue reading “WWF In Your House is a Good Arcade Wrestling Game”
WWF RAW on the Genesis Looks and Plays Great
WWF RAW on the Sega Genesis is a great-looking game. It still has that annoying tug-of-war control scheme that devolves into button mashing. Thankfully, this is the last time I have to discuss the controls. There is a lot to do in this game. You have plenty of game modes to keep you busy, andContinue reading “WWF RAW on the Genesis Looks and Plays Great”
WWF Royal Rumble: Hamstrung by a Bad Control Scheme
WWF Royal Rumble on the Sega Genesis looks good. The gameplay is still repetitive, and I don’t like the control scheme. The control scheme doesn’t ruin the game, but it is annoying. The bright spot in this game is the graphics. It is a good-looking game, even if it has flaws. This game looks closeContinue reading “WWF Royal Rumble: Hamstrung by a Bad Control Scheme”
WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis
I’m going to play these games in order, unlike what I did with the SNES trilogy of games. WWF Super WrestleMania doesn’t look as good on the Genesis as it does on the SNES, and it uses the same button-mashing control scheme. I wouldn’t say that I like this game that much. I had aContinue reading “WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis”
Diet LJN: The Odd Story of Flying Edge
Most collectors and video game historians know about LJN. They started as a toy manufacturer and had the rights to several licenses. Eventually, they got into video games and were purchased by Acclaim. Acclaim used LJN as a way to publish more games on the NES. This was when Nintendo had a very restrictive publishingContinue reading “Diet LJN: The Odd Story of Flying Edge”
