Pro Wrestling games have come a long way. Now, they have storylines, you can create your own character, and more moves. There is also more to do in each game than there used to be. These were some of the first wrestling games on the home console. They don’t have all the features you wouldContinue reading “NES Wrestling Games Ranked From Worst to Best”

WrestleMania Challenge is Ultimately a Disappointing Game
This was a promising game, but it didn’t deliver on the gameplay. WWF WrestleMania Challenge is more like a survivor series game. That is the big draw here as far as stipulation matches go. Instead of the cage match, this game has a six-man elimination match. Aside from the six-man tag match, you have aContinue reading “WrestleMania Challenge is Ultimately a Disappointing Game”
The Problem with WWF Steel Cage Challenge on NES
WWF Steel Cage Challenge is a game that I tried to enjoy. My only memories of playing this game are on an emulator. If my friends and I rented it in the early 90s, I have no memory of it. This is one of those games that fits the LJN stereotype. The character sprites areContinue reading “The Problem with WWF Steel Cage Challenge on NES”
Tag Team MUSCLE is the Worst NES Wrestling Game
Tag Team Match: M.U.S.C.L.E. is one of those NES games you might have rented on a Friday night and given up on it by Saturday morning. You would watch some cartoons, play the game for ten minutes, and then go outside to find a stick to play with. I’m sure many people have had thisContinue reading “Tag Team MUSCLE is the Worst NES Wrestling Game”

Heavy Barrel, A Shoot’em Up Hidden Gem
Run and Gun shooters are a somewhat forgotten subgenre of shooters. You don’t see too many modern games emulating this style of gameplay. When I think of this group of games, I think about Commando and Contra. Heavy Barrel is one of the games that I didn’t know about until I started collecting video games.Continue reading “Heavy Barrel, A Shoot’em Up Hidden Gem”
WWF Wrestlemania on the NES is a Classic, but Not Great
WWF Wrestlemania is the first professional wrestling game that I remember playing. Is it as good as I remember it being? No, it isn’t, but I think it is a product of its time. The game is more like an arcade beat’em up or a prototype for a fighting game. You have a limited moveContinue reading “WWF Wrestlemania on the NES is a Classic, but Not Great”
A Review of Stinger on the NES
Remember when Konami made games that you wanted to play? I know it has been a while and the Konami of today seems to not care about video games. However, in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s they made some great games! They also made Bayou Bill, but whatever. Stinger is one of the many greatContinue reading “A Review of Stinger on the NES”
